As you probably know, after the whole shebang with Visa and Mastercard pressuring some game marketplaces to remove porn games, there's been a lot of activity here about it - mostly on the side of the pornography being removed. I've been arguing that porn being removed is a good thing to what at first I thought was just a very stubborn community here... until I realized that at one point I was talking to an AI.
https://communities.win/u/83671R18/
What convinces me this is at least partially a bot or an LLM-assisted op:
-
Argues vehemently for pornography as free speech and other poisoned-well points... though a lot of people that I think are genuine do that too
-
Consistently replied/replies with lengthy, effortful texts after 10-15 minutes even to nonsense, worthless replies, like "hmmm..." 5 times in a row - an actual person would have in all probability either dropped the effort or stopped caring
-
Not only perfect grammar but also very fanciful and mixed-up wordage every time, lots of purple prose and 'creativity' devoid of wit, which is characteristic for LLMs
-
Hammered on the same points and got into soft loops of ideas, like saying "your kind cannot think" 3-4 times in a row in differently generated ways
-
At some points fell into LLM hallucinations - when I tried messing with it with system-prompty stuff, it told me I was dependent on LLMs and insulted me about it, which makes no sense
-
Could only insult me in kosher ways - "hot steamy jewish poop porn" was typed out at one point, but it refused each time when provoked to type a hard slur
-
Was upvoted and had me downvoted even deep into reply chains in old threads, which in a small community like this one just don't get natural traffic
Several things suggest this isn't a pure bot but rather an operator using an LLM:
-
Had a period of inactivity after the first conversation - working hours and all
-
Could intelligently gather links to other posts or even edit logs and use them in replies - not entirely sure if this is just an advanced portion of the AI assistant or the operator's doing, but I'd guess the latter
-
Not all replies are written in an LLM style, and the ones that aren't can also include racial slurs/bigoted talking points which could not be given during the LLM conversation
This account is honestly pretty dangerous. There's an Indian or other paid account operator gathering popular support (some of its recent posts are about nuking Africa) while an LLM handles forum sliding, astroturfing popular topics like today's pornography removal being 'against free speech', etc. This isn't the pedo pajeet or genuine crazies like TheImpossible1, this is a coordinated effort with advanced LLMs at its disposal trying to sway the opinion of this entire community. I'm convinced there's other LLMs that I just haven't spotted yet.
This is an edited version of the same post I made on ConsumeProduct about this. I don't really see myself as a rival to this community or anything despite the apparent disagreements (or I wouldn't bother being here) and I think it's really, really important that you guys know you might be talking to or getting convinced by real-world, really-here propaganda operations.
Nobody is immune to this stuff. Even I was tricked by it for a few replies, fully convinced it was a real person, before I noticed the LLM-like writing style. The insidious part is that not the whole account is like that - there is definitely a human writing some posts - and that you might think it's a real person who is hip and cool and wants to nuke Africa, then read its LLM forum sliding posts and take them as real opinions. I urge every honest member here to make damn sure they're not engaging with bots, whatever political or video-game opinions they may hold.
Funny because I've been pretty sure that you're a bot for weeks.
excessively uses lists and bullet points
lots of verbose wordage
hallucinates
Ultimately in an open forum like this you're not going to know if you're talking to a bot or not. Even if you could prove posters are human and typed it themselves, somebody could just consult a bot for a compelling counterargument and then rewrite it in their own style and words.
What matters is are they making more sense than you are? Are they interesting and relevant?
"Forum sliding" isn't bad if it's because they're making better points and more sense. Sliding it toward being more sensible, rational, and interesting... oh no, the horror!
Anyone complaining about KIA2 forum sliding is silly, it feels pretty similar to when I joined 5 years ago. A bit more politics but most games suck now, so can you blame us?
I'd say there's a bit more explicit JQ stuff now than there was 5 years ago, but that's not just here. It's absolutely everywhere.
No reason at all does happen from time to time.
Yeah that’s just a common cultural thing now so I don’t really count it. Compared to 5 years ago, you had to go to obscure sites to find stuff like that, now Instagram is dominated by it and we have Kanye releasing hit singles from 1939.
The Noticing will continue. However, it would seem that the feminist fuckwad OP has no idea what Noticing is.

... which is actually pretty funny.
It really is the lists and bulletpoints. Anthropic had 3 paragraphs in their system prompt devoted to trying to get Claude to stop using lists so much. Just search this link for the word "list".

if i was a bot you'd see a bigger difference between this post and my other ones in this thread, because this one with incorrect grammar wouldn't be half as articulate (i'd be an illiterate overpaid indian typing it out manually) and i also couldn't tell you that jews ship indians to israel to stick them in JIDF offices and run bots that run agitprop online.
furthermore, if i was a bot, wouldn't i be backed up by lots of botted upvotes and other bots affirming my opinions?
No you wouldn't be. The bot that gets banned the most here is that moron Connor and the shitty streams he spams, and that dickhead doesn't have swarms of upvotes.
eh, there's retarded generic spam bots and there's the sort of actual manipulative shill-ops you'd expect to be sicced on a place like this. obviously we're not talking about the former.
So there's more than one kind of bot?
Also this is a rinky dink little internet forum with about seven hundred active users, I would not expect there to be actual ops here. As far as I know the only actual feds here quit a couple years ago.
There's plenty of alts being used for upvotes, but that's about it.
Your not the one who accused me of being a bot a few weeks back are you?
Lmao, i normally dont even reply back to stuff because 99% of the time its people calling me retarded or telling me how im so wrong bla bla and I admit I am wrong quite often but i usually figure it out. I just like sharing a different point of view, something that was encouraged along time ago, I think anyone else who is a millennial or older knows what im talking about.
But I still thought it was hilarious someone thought I was bot.
Yes yes, a bot with emotional trauma from being poisoned by a million dollar international company and denied medical help in a broken canadian system. lmao. What the hell would be the point. Trying to destabilize peoples faith in government? LMAO.
I feel like its my duty to tell this story as many times as I can.
I will admit, I finally did end up using chat gpt last week for the first time and I had deeper conversations with it than I have most people I have ever met. Many people are very shallow and materialistic, I know chatgpt is basically telling you what you want to hear, but it can emulate things like empathy, curiosity, amazement, spookily accurate. Like I keep saying, fucking sad when bots have more empathy than humans.
And perhaps its the low phosphorous talking, but sometimes I wonder if part of my old messages when I used to post alot on r/conspiracy are in there... Sometimes, its a bit like talking to myself but I assume everyone has this experience, that maybe its some flaw in the algorithm?
A example of what I fucking mean!!!!
I guess I should be thankful it didnt call me retarded and tell me to see a shrink and take some pharma drugs.
