As technology advances and computers become increasingly capable, the line between human and bot activity on social media platforms like Lemmy is becoming blurred.

What are your thoughts on this matter? How do you think social media platforms, particularly Lemmy, should handle advanced bots in the future?

I think smarter people than me will have to figure it out and even then it's going to be a war of escalation. Ban the bots, build better bots, back and forth back and forth.

Some news sites had an interesting take on comments sections. Before you could comment on an article, you had to correctly answer a 5 question quiz proving you actually read it.

But AI can do that now too.

It would be interesting to try that on Lemmy for a day. People would probably not be happy.

As divisive as it would be, I think that would be a good thing overall...

It reminds me of the literacy test to use Kingdom of Loathing's chat features.
