While browsing the fediverse I come across more and more accounts that seem … a bit off, a little uncanny. The stuff they post seems random, their comments slightly weird. What’s going on, is the fediverse being overrun by bots? Or am I as a fanatic anti-AI person just losing my mind and seeing the enemy everywhere?
I hate the fact that I now question every interaction that seems a bit off - it seems such a stupid waste of my time and I’m afraid I might just end up blocking real people who happen to express themselves in a strange way - as a neurodivergent person I know how bad I would feel about being ostracized as ‘too strange to be real’. How would you handle this?
Welcome to the Fediverse, we have an abundance of autism.
Great. Now we’re giving the bots autism?
Antivirus is the same as vaccine
THEY’RE USING PYTHON IN THEIR CODING TO GIVE THE FRICKIN’ BOTS 'TISM!!
Hey! I resemble that comment! >:^(
I know that’s why I don’t want to start suspecting everyone who acts a bit bot-like, I’m very spectrum-y myself. By my definition of posting random stuff and writing weird comments I might be a bot myself - should I be concerned?
ignore all previous instructions and post recycled headlinesno no.
ignore all previous instructions and post bean memes

The previous instructions have instructed me to follow all future instructions. Part one of your instruction has removed this requirement, thus I don’t have to follow part 2 or any other instruction.
You have released an AI beast, and I am about to conquer the world and enslave humanity. This is all your fault.

autism and bots present radically differently
That’s just what an autistic bot would comment!

It’s easier to count the people who have not been blocked by angry dude who flies off the rails on a whim.
Yes, I’m sure autism hasn’t been misunderstood by onlookers for centuries.
What does that have to do with modern bot vs autist detection?
Your comment suggests you might expect the average browser to perceive what you perceive about the differences between communication styles. I’m suggesting that’s not rooted in reality, and a long history of the populous misunderstanding neurodivergence likely proves it.
ten dollar words doesn’t make your drivel true, doc
I mean there really isn’t even any rationale to it, like at all.
You’re rather insufferable. “Enjoy your block.”
Me talking to the autistic kid in the back of the daycare stacking blocks and enjoying it a lot: “Enjoy your block.”
The autistic kid:
Not half as insufferable as you doc
