hot off the presses: automatic wrong information without even going to the wrong-information deliveries store - eviltoast
AI chatbots are intruding into online communities where people are trying to connect with other humans
theconversation.com
People participate in online communities to share experiences and sympathy. AI chatbots that join the conversation can only pretend to offer either.

there are some remarkable instances of bad behaviour in there already, but imagine being the sort of product team that thinks users being gaslit by a chatbot that they couldn’t even consent to choose to use is totes something to deliver without any modification or remark

    Yeah it gives me groups. Most are relevant to my interests! But I mute them all cos that’s not what I’m there for.

      Muting them doens’t even work, it is only for 30 days, and I never see a friend posts when this is going on. It is just endless new crap. I have no idea why, but I don’t care enough to find out, don’t think I go there more than once a month at most.
