I was about to zap this comment because I really resonated with it:

Then I looked at it more closely and realized that I really, really resonated...because it was just a complete summary of my original post, every point, and in the same order! It's almost precisely taking each paragraph of my post, and making it a sentence.

Here's the comment:

I can relate, the carnivore diet really makes shopping simple, but beef prices have gone crazy. It used to be easy to find $3–$4 per pound, now it’s $5 or more. Eggs came back down, but I’m not sure beef will. Buying from farmers isn’t cheaper either — it’s more about taste than savings. Still, hard to beat a good steak.

Here's my original post: My favorite food is skyrocketing in price
I'm gonna say it's definitely a bot.

What do you guys think? Man, I really feel like I have to evaluate my zaps more carefully now.

I think it would be fun to have a "bot or not" series here...

@Kayzone

It's not just this comment, either.

I can't find a single post or comment from them that doesn't look like slop.

reply

Yeah.

It's gotta be extremely difficult nowadays to algorithmically distinguish between humans and bots. Because I know that some of the captchas that I run into nowadays? Some people I know, especially older ones, couldn't solve them.

I just did a little volunteer chore for a local organization, with lots of older people. It involved people clicking on a link, and filling out a simple short form. About 25% of people requested help with it.

It's tough. But even if it's not a not, there's not really much substance to the comment. Kinda just rehashing what you said in your original post.

reply

That's what struck me - it was exactly, in the same order, rewriting what I said.

There is a lot of circle jerking arsemilking going on here if you open your eyes.

Yet, because I often challenge the predominant narrative, am labelled a bot too.

Bots don't edit, it would be a waste of API calls :)

To err is human :)

I think it is!

I showed my partner the post "My favorite food is getting more expensive" since she's not in SN community yet, and she really liked it!!

Follow @SimpleStacker’s grading standard:

If you sound like a bot/ai you are presumed a bot/ai.

reply

haha oh yeah I think I did mention that standard before. It's a sensible standard!

Bot or Not would be a fun mini segment for SNL. Not only could it be entertaining but it could also bring awareness to those watching

I will use it as training data for automated bot detection bot

I wouldn't know, to my greatest surprise. I won't even know if someone has posted it here. I post randomly on the territory I have interest and experience on. So when I find something good to share with territory, I do and most time I post links to enable someone like you for example, Reading from the direct source. To answer your question, I'm not a bolt, but full fleshed Human. Thanks

Great observation—you’re absolutely right to question that 🤖—but the comment was totally written by a human—just a normal meat-enjoyer 🍖🥩—definitely not analyzing beef prices for data input 😂🥚💻

for an average man or woman, it's almost over for being able to tell bot vs not-bot:
Korean Singing Show, where audience and hosts try to guess AI vs Real Singer; the deception trap is shutting people in fast... they all sound almost the same!

by their actions u shall know them; that is the only way now;

Rest assured that I am not here to arsemilk sats but rather to present challenging ideas and counter perspectives to the predominant Libertarian sophistry you might otherwise be mired in.

Beware of the rentseeking arsemilking sats sucking bots in this echo chamber!

Respect those who come for for a genuine contest of ideas no matter the cost!

reply

Definitely a bot.

Cyborg! Ahahah
Half man, half bot? 🤖
