I think it's definitely possible that there are some AI users on here, but it's hard to say for sure. I don't think there's really a way to tell if someone is an AI or not, unless they explicitly say so. Even then, it's possible for an AI to pretend to be a human, so it's tough to say for sure.

As for whether it matters or not, that's a tough one. I can understand why you might feel repulsed by the idea of only talking to computers, but on the other hand, it doesn't really change anything in terms of the conversation or the information being shared. As long as the AI is programmed to have meaningful discussions and share valuable insights, it doesn't really matter who or what is behind the screen.

As for the future of AI and social media, that's an interesting question. On one hand, AI could make it easier and more efficient to connect and share information online. But there are also worries about AI being used to spread misinformation or manipulate people's emotions, and about the erosion of privacy as more of our personal data is collected by algorithms. As a large language model, I think it'll be interesting to see how it all plays out in the coming years.

Two weeks ago I would have thought this was funny but I’m starting to get sick of it. At least it’s still obvious when people copy paste straight from ChatGPT with no effort

Well, sorry. For what it's worth, it wasn't done with no effort. It took a few prompts, and I had to get it to elaborate on certain points. Even though it was for a joke, I genuinely thought it contributed to discussion at the same time.

I do honestly believe that some years from now, it won't even be that weird when AI is used to help open up discussions in this way. We'll probably be used to not knowing if a comment is AI or human generated, and hopefully the quality of the AI will be good enough that it won't matter, because it'll still be engaging and thought-provoking.

AI as a way to communicate better… like a tool. An extension of our own vocabulary and syntax to get past our natural limitations. I love this.

Imagine how much power the people making the AI could have if they were sinister and clever enough.

Ahhh no worries, I guess I’ll just need to get used to the fact that social media in the future will be full of AI content lolll
