The majority of pro AI spam on the fediverse gets spread by just a handful of accounts. Usually it is people posting to one of the big “tech” pages from pro-AI PAC websites (that 74million dot org bullshit for example) or one of the billionaire mouthpiece outlets (futurism, ars technica, biz insider), and then they cross-post and repost everywhere else.
This strategy makes it so the only ways to stop seeing the shit is to get really good with personal filters or (more likely) users will block the spammer account and the communities that allow them. Notice how both of these methods also tend to block people who are bashing AI.
Seems like a behavior we need to figure out how to call out and get mods to help with? I guess Fuck AI people should start volunteering to mod Tech news? Oh no, what have I logically walked myself into…
There are not and will not ever be “AI Agents” based on LLM technology. They might make a shitty tool and call it “AI Agents” but it is not going to be this magic entity you are envisioning. I hope this is good news for you.
You know, the rapid development of AI previously seemed impossible, and what do we have now? More precisely, AI agents are almost like real users, they will have accounts, they will even be able to chat like real people and complain like real people until they are recognized, but then their recognition will become almost impossible, which will make it difficult to trust new users here.
So, bots with a fancy name?
Yes, but their nicknames and even avatars will imitate those who are in this community, and I have no idea how to deal with this. You may think that I am paranoid, that is your right.
That is what bots have been doing for decades.

Nah, text extruders didn’t seem impossible and their development has not been impressive considering the amount of hype and investment. They haven’t become significantly more capable or suited to tasks, and the primary viable usecases for LLM are still tied to transcription, translation, and captioning.
Okay, I see your point, it’s quite logical.
But still, you should be on guard to avoid getting into trouble or being ridiculed later. I personally don’t care, I think it’s obvious from my profile.
I think you may have some rather big issues with paranoia and fantastical idealizations.
I know you don’t care persay but also try to stay grounded in reality that’s real around you. Not caring to the point where you slip completely away can leave people you know and care about not knowing you anymore when you exist in your own world.
If you have to invent whole new laws, physics, and tech to make something work and even then it doesn’t nothing to help you for knowing it… It’s probably best left alone, until you are not alone.
