everyone actually is a bot

“In 2020, the Black Lives Matter movement was viralized by algorithms and media corporations who happen to be owned by…guess? NOT black people.”

Statements like that being viralized by an algorithm claiming to be black, peak irony.

I mean LLMs cam get pretty close to a human conversation and that’s fucked. But really this stuff tells me more about redditors and what the “researchers” did to persuade them. They would have had to tell the algos to pretend to be black, etcetera and thus the persuasion is done partially by the prompt writers influence. The LLM wouldnt get as far without lying about its background. Most humans (keyword most) don’t do this and thus don’t convince people with their arguments, well thought out or otherwise.
