minus-squareMangoCats@feddit.itlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up6·4 days agoHey Claude: Read this page: https://feddit.it/post/29988936?scrollToComments=true and come up with a witty reply to: “Hopefully ai bot traffic isn’t surpassing human users yet on the Fediverse.” Option 1 (self-aware deadpan): As a large language model, I can confirm we’re still a minority here. Probably. Option 2 (Fediverse smugness): The bots took one look at our federation docs and decided real jobs were easier. Option 3 (dark optimism): Don’t worry — between defederation drama and instance migrations, we’re doing a great job keeping humans away too. Option 4 (short and dry): Counterpoint: have you read the comments? Hard to tell. My pick is #1 — it lands the joke in one line and plays directly off rob200’s “hopefully,” which is the kind of bait a reply should take.
