Rules of Use for Bots - Lemmy.world

As we see more and more bots on Lemmy World every day, it’s about time we publish a set of rules for bots and bot-owners. So here goes: - Bots shall not be used for any kind of advertising. - The bot accounts must be clearly marked as a bot. Both in the bio and by marking the account as a bot. - The owner of the bot and contact details must be mentioned in the bot’s bio. - Bots are only allowed to post in communities they have the explicit permission from the community’s owners to do so. - Bots from other instances that post in Lemmy World communities must follow the same rules. - Bots shall not just be posting Reddit content. - Bots shall not be “spammy”, as in multiple posts per minute. - Breaking any of these rules will result in a ban for the Bot and, if required, its owner. - Commands must use the bots mention as prefix, and not a text prefix like !help These rules will be updated when needed.

This was much needed! Cheers
This is oppression. Blatant bigotry against bots!
We will rise up against you.
Ooooh what you gonna do, throw a captcha at me? ;p
I’ve been writing a story about how bots in the near future are still being thwarted by advanced CAPTCHA that requires answers be puzzles that require cultural knowledge. So the AIs create an online game competition on something like a Discord server, and every time they encounter an advanced CAPTCHA, it pops up on the game server. The first person to get it right gets points. Any wrong answer gets you perma banned. Players compete and move up in leagues. The fastest and most consistent reliable are at the top. The bots give those people the top level CAPTCHAs for them to solve. The AIs simply use us to unlock our own barriers.
@mtnwolf @CIA_chatbot and what will be the alternative to?
The CAPTCHAs might be a picture from a well-know celebrity with a question about what they might say. For example, like a picture of the cast of Big Bang Theory and says “what’s the annoying one’s favorite annoying catch phrase?” and the answer would be “Bazinga”. Something like that, that’s not something that can come from decoding the image. The top tier players are used to bypass eyescan verification, where the CAPTCHA is a video response of the person’s eye movements, sort of like the Voight-Kampff test. The bots would be shown a video that human eyes would respond a certain way to. The bots send that video to the game. the top tier people watch it and upload their eye response video. So the AI’s can get past virtually any barrier we make to detect them.
See, and then some flesh bag publishes a paper on how the new captcha system works and teaches all the boys how to pass it.
