Alas that site wants my email.
Are they talking about chat bots or bots that for example post at forums? I've seen (supposedly) ChatGPT in action making forum posts, but I didn't understand what the purpose was. |

Alas that site wants my email. Here's the study mentioned in the article headline: https://www.ai21.com/blog/human-or-not-results QUOTE Are they talking about chat bots or bots that for example posts at forums? I've seen (supposedly) ChatGPT in action making forum posts, but I didn't understand what the purpose was. Bots in general, it seems: "The bot-human blur is like a magic trick ... As bots get smarter, we risk losing trust in online interactions," Daniel Cooper told The Epoch Times. |

So social media. That's us.
Or more likely FB, Insta and so on. The posts I saw was at a normal forum, like this one, though. The posts were on topic but yet a little off. As said, I didn't understand the purpose. Maybe someone was just training, learning how to handle the API. I must say I'm both fascinated by and scared of what those things can do. You know Notetab that I cling to, right? AFAK its scripting language isn't documented anywhere online. There are scripts floating around, but the sole source for the syntax is the Help file. Someone, not me, asked ChatGTP to write a script for Notetab that did this and that. And it did! It didn't get it all right, but it was pretty close. And when asked to correct it it switched to some other scripting language, I've forgotten what, so a failure but still... I'm amazed that it knew the syntax and the vocabulary of such an obscure language, used by maybe a couple of hundred people, at all! How the heck did it do that? |

Spam bots, yes. But these don't spam So what's the reason? I get it if it's, say, a political topic at for instance FB. But the ones I saw were on a more technical topic, didn't try to convince people of anything at all, just added relevant information.
