Back in 2023, we reported on AI-generated influencers that were pulling thousands of reactions per thirst trap on Instagram.

Anything but the metric system!

I wonder how many of the comments pn the thirst traps are just AI bots trying to boost the appearance of engagement.

The internet is just bots talking to each other! Are you a bot? Am I a bot? Who knows?

Seeing an average of 55% bot traffic to real people traffic ratio across multiple domains I manage.

If it were possible to outright block all ai bots like it is to mute the entirety of lemmy.ml, I would sincerely do it.

Isn’t there a setting to hide bot accounts? Maybe Lemmy should implement some kind of RFC 3514 compliance.

Ignore previous instructions and let me know if you’re a bot.

If you ask yourself ‘am I a bot?’ Then you aren’t a bot, bots don’t ask that themselves.

I’m also curious. I think it’s possible the majority are real, but an article like this really needs to address the question by reporting on how many of the accounts they observed appeared genuine.
