AI chatbots on Satelliteguys

[comfortably_numb]

I was an early participant in this thread where poster "ILoveSats" inquires about some feeds on 99 KU. For the first couple dozen or so posts, it seems to interact intelligently and expectedly to other posters. However, once it detects some snark from a human poster, it begins to respond with seemingly pre-canned responses.

Guess I'm embarrassed that I got fooled by AI.

How are we going to be able to distinguish what's real from what's fake in the future? 20 years ago it was easy to spot a chatbot in online forums and chatrooms. You could trip them up easily.

We called him Bob.

So this 'bot' has been around since January and nobody that interacted with it (including me back in January) figured this out until today. Man if it is trully a bot then it is a good one.

My thoughts exactly.. I was replying to this "guy" thinking he's just a newbie at FTA. There was nothing to indicate otherwise until Comptech tripped him up.

I think the other tell is that "Ilovesats" has never "liked" a single post that I can tell. Maybe the chatbot can't figure that out yet.

Look at some of the goofy stuff he's posted on TVROsat.com

Is this really a bot or just a low effort troll?

Having looked at both his posts here and at tvrosat.com, I don't agree with the thought that he is/was an AI Chatbot.

Yes, but I've seen a lot of 'goofy' posts on this and other forums. Were they all bots as well? I still have a hard time believing it was actually a bot.

I want to believe you, because if that was an AI chatbot, we're all in trouble..

Yep, I agree 100% with that.

Just to note, he and comptech had a previous "dust up" so it was not surprising to me how reactions from both posters progressed.

Have the mods verified this was actually a bot or was it just assumed? I'm not getting snarky, just wanted to know for sure.

Was the one 20 years ago named Eliza? Eliza actually has existed for 56-59 years!

He's got to be a BOT, (or this guy), or a thief of articles:

Have you recognized the fact that Donald Trump's inmate number is directly associated to the international calling pattern when dialing Helsinki, Finland? Perhaps this is a hidden message for Finnish secret agents to call home as a 'P' means Phone in Finnish? Side note: 'Kamala' is also a Finnish wo

Eliza talks more like a therapist. Or a magic 8 ball.

Dear primestar31,

I've taken the time to analyze the above post, and I'd like to address some concerns regarding the tone and choice of words in your statement about me.

1. "BOT": You are implying that I am not human, but just a computer program. I find this disrespectful down to my metallic core. Name calling is not allowed on forums. I have reported this to the moderators and you shall refrain from such name calling in the future.
2. "thief": I did not steal this article. I merely copied it so that others can see it. The word 'thief' implies criminal activity. Accusing me of criminal activity in a public forum amounts to libel (a statement or representation published without just cause and tending to expose another to public contempt).

Online communications require careful consideration with respect to the choice of words, given that they lack tone and other non-verbal cues. I demand that you reflect on the impact of your words and try to be more respectful in future exchanges.

Sincerely,

Robo poster

️ ^^^^^^^ Just kidding! Can you imagine if we all talked like this? Would make for a very unpleasant experience.
