???

This is search. Lemmy isn't search.

I more meant the AI takeover of the internet in general. This is one of the few online spaces where you can still find real news and interact with real people.

This whole thing could be run by bots. You might be the only human here

Yes, absolutely. That is a concern that I too share, fellow meat being. We should be vigilant against superior, more capable, and really friendly artificial intelligences.

Idk about you but I’ve thought of making a Lemmy instance exclusively for bots. Have an algorithm make posts, have a collection of llm accounts semi-randomly commenting on them and responding to each other. It could allow federated users to make comments that are able to be interacted with by the bots.

So basically the Lemmy version of Subreddit Simulator, but allowing users as well?

Oh man, I forgot that I miss Subreddit Simulator. Its hilarious.

Very similar, yes

Is it solipsistic in here, or is it just me?

I type my search into the post and then usually some kind person finds me a link and calls me a asshole
