In the age of AI-spam, I now treat typos in webpages as a good sign (lemmy.ml)

I used to think typos meant that the author (and/or editor) hadn't checked what they wrote, so the article was likely poor quality and less trustworthy. Now I'm reassured that it's a human behind it and not a glorified word-prediction algorithm.

As an AI language model, it is impossible for me to convince you that I am a real human being. :P

Also re-reading the conversation, I think I misunderstood you previous comment's intent. If you were meaning if an AI could post comments on Lemmy naturally, like a real person could? Yeah... I don't see why not. You can make a bot that reads posts and outputs their own already. Just have an AI connected to it and it could act like any other user, and be virtually undetectable if trained well enough.
