 Imagine running a @pixelfed server with Curated Onboarding enabled You get a new application, but it looks a bit off. You request more info. This is the response... It's obviously AI generated, and somewhat alarming IMO Spammers are adapting to fediverse projects, and it's up to maintainers like me to make it more difficult for them. it's chess, not checkers fam π 4 comments
@dansup @pixelfed While I agree that the description is suspiciously long and articulated from a Western perspective, I have to say I have regularly been surprised by how articulate and polite written interactions can be with individuals coming from an East African (in English) or West African (in French) cultural background.  @dansup @pixelfed so many red flags in that message π©π©π©π©π© the tone and content make me think of mainstream, for profit social mediaβ¦ not the philosophy of the Fediverse. So eloquent but then the βgrowinβ at the end sealed the deal for me - like they copied and pasted from an AI system, forgot to include the last letter (βgβ) and then slapped a dot at the end π΅π»ββοΈ |

@dansup would it be possible to do some more honypot stuff or something? besides them getting better, it feels like there are more bot signups than on mastodon and they sometimes make it hard to even spot actual people in the sea of bots :/
