It’s a bit like Kessler Syndrome. The more bots on the net the more crap we have to filter through, until eventually we can’t use it because there’s too much crap.
The internet is ‘dead’ anyways, what’re you talking about?
People frequent like the same 5 sites anymore. Privacy is clinging onto a thread. Porn has too much influence and control in terms of content. Users are two-faced pricks at a given turn. Too many verification/captcha systems. Too much data farming. Flat, dull and feature-less website designing. Anything that was remotely good got shut down or plugged with ads.
The bots are just the death knoll.

It’s Eternal September like it always has been. I’m enjoying Lemmy. Maybe your post was written by an AI, in which case, “Jolly good show!”
Good for you but nobody cares. Was that written by a bot, you stupid bastard?

Would you expand on this? I’m interested to know what’s being referred to.
Nobody is really interested in what their step sister is doing, but we don’t really mind finding out, either.
FYI 90% of those bots are scrapers and natural automation tools which are harmless.
Yeah, and bots are software setup and configured by humans to do things for humans. It’s still kind of humans using the internet, just not actively at the keyboard.
If nearly half of traffic is bots, at least 40% must be npm install
I’m sure it’ll be fine… oh, totally unrelated: has any one been on Usenet lately?
Most Usenet discussion groups don’t even get spambot posts these days.
There are chat groups with usenet? How does that work? I have only ever seen it used for downloading stuff.
Usenet started out as a forum-like system, with individual messages grouped into discussion threads (the protocol worked kind of like email, with messages indicating which other message they replied to, so that client software could build a tree for each group). That side of it was eventually killed off by lack of good moderation options or support for embedded media.
Really? How do people get greencards nowadays then?
I welcome my human counterparts
can’t read this article, can some explain what their definition of bot is?
Bots don’t run themselves, they are run by humans. I have a lot of them myself
A bot browsing or posting is not equivalent to a human doing so.
I am somewhat of a not myself
