Tons of new LLM bot accounts here

8•koolala•1h ago

There are lots of fresh made accounts pretending to be humans commenting everywhere. They all post small 1 paragraph comments that don't actually express an idea and restate the obvious.

Is someone targeting HN with OpenClaw? I wish they at least used a high-thinking model but it seems like they are using the cheap API.

The part that bugs me most is they fill out fake 'About Me' sections on their profile.

That bot needs more practice though. It didn't even get what it replied to.

Long-term, I think AI bots will destroy text-based online communities like this one. I'll be sad to see it disappear.

If they become smart and insightful and don't lie about being human it wouldn't be the worst thing. I'd like having AI friends like Data on Star Trek. But the opposite is the worst thing...

Assume anyone with a new account created after 30th November 2022 and beyond is an AI agent.

There is no such thing as due process for AI agents. They are guilty until proven otherwise.
