Yes, agreed. But the spam bot could just add random alt text or post descriptions. Checking if the text makes sense involves using an LLM with vision capability ($).

lawrence OP Mod ,

It's fairly easy for a bot to post at random times. However it's possible to create a bot to check for bot behavior.

I made a few tests with bot moderation and quickly reached Lemmy.world instance limits (because the bot needs to read the posts consecutively and also get the user's public data).

When the account reaches the limit, it can't log in for a period. I don't want my account to be banned, so I will not continue trying to create moderation bots for Lemmy instances.

I am pinning this post because I think it is a global Lemmy problem, and debating this issue is necessary to find ways to decrease this type of spam.

Personally, I am reluctant to implement solutions like 'account age verification' or 'maximum daily posts' because this also affects legitimate users. However, we may need to do this if we do not find better solutions.

This is a nice idea.

Thanks for the report. Post removed.

lawrence OP Mod ,

Thank God.

I would have just moderated this as 'not polite', but the comment was so strange that the admin banned the guy.

Not really AI translation...

I can't say if the author used any translation tool, but it definitely wasn't an LLM. This particular comic strip was published well before ChatGPT was released.

The English version of that comic strip is published on the author's domain (https://english.umsabadoqualquer.com/). He chose to place the comics written in English within his own subdomain.

Thanks!

/c/comicstrips is experiencing this issue as well. It's terrible.

Good to know that the devs are doing something about it.

Which stage are you at?

Alt text: A line plot with 2 axis (confidence vs competence) referencing the Dunning-Kruger effect with various distro logos placed at different points on the line. Starts with mint/ubuntu near (0,0) and progressing through multiple distros to end up with opensuse/fedora at what it calls “the plateau of sustainability”

Rolling releases for life.

I mean, it's not just dino corpses. We also use an incredible amount of dead forests as fuel. We really showed nature who's the boss, huh?

I also don't have any ties to a specific editor. I use whichever is most convenient at the moment. But I avoid paid IDEs.

full of bots

I am starting to think this is AI, but I am not sure. The irony.

lawrence OP Mod ,

Thank you for finding it. I will leave his IG here and in description, since my original post was just a copy, unfortunately.

Sorry, I didn't know there was a context.

    Of course this is an ad. But it's art.

    lawrence OP ,

    It's a figure of speech.

    lawrence OP ,

    Yeah, but that's okay. What's strange is the negative feedback in a community that specifically covers topics about AI.
