Can we all agree on this one thing, that most people hate ai, but the bots on lemmy are an acception since they bring life to the communities when activities dries up. (lemmy.world)

Good points, although they do tend to bring activity back to communities and give a reason to use them when people aren't posting. and while the bots aren't necesarily ai, they essentially do the same thing, automated tasks by a cpu.

I can tell you really want that to be true, but the bots posting links to "elsewhere" articles with a summary or TLDR that reads like it's been run thru 15 really crappy language translators & fail to even make sense let alone properly summarize the pertinent details - yeah that's what drives me away. I'm prolly a fringe user, my primary use is to satisfy my hobbyist/DIY addictions, & I enjoy being able to read & learn in the same place/format. I generally have little interest in the social media/what's trending or political subs. I used to appreciate seeing occasional posts from the social/politics but they are so toxic & devoid of any conversation that might interest me. I'm really hoping that the humans that are still out in the real world doing amazing things will find their way to federated freedom so I can selfishly return to my daily realization of how little I know. Because those bot posts coupled with all the ignorant hate comments have the opposite effect - I start feeling like there's nothing left to learn here...
