Just got accused of being an AI and “not a person, but something trying to emulate human interaction.”
:feels-bad-man:
Sending love, solidarity, and good vibes
And a knife whoever said that.
Common liberal smugslord shit. “You must be a Russian/Chinese bot because you disagree with me.”
Also common with cryptofascists, especially the techbro type, that believe in “simulation theory” and use it as a justification to see other people as “NPCs” if they don’t like them and want to exploit/hurt them.
This was just an interaction on a queer social/dating app, no commie stuff had even come up yet. Just a NT lib casually dehumanizing me for having a ND communication style.

That makes that so much worse.
That really sucks comrade
Sounds like something chat gpt would claim after reading through real human comments.
At least it wasn’t face to face conversation, i hope.
Thankfully not. I’ll just consider it a bullet dodged lol.
Any time someone calls you a bot, accuse them of trying to No True Scottsman Fallacy the entire human race (no true human would have an opinion that disagrees with me). Weird internet assholes love fallacies.
It wasn’t even about a disagreement, just NT bullshit because my communication style didn’t fit their expectations.
Well they still reached for the “dehumanize” button in response, so they suck.
I’ve been called robotic before for my flat affect and extremely guarded facial expressions. So not new imo
The number of times I’ve either been compared to a robot or gotten hit with “most people would (react a certain way) is too damn high.
id like to point out that the word robot comes from czech and it means slave/serf and the modern usage came from a film that called all the machines slaves
so in a round about way, its also deriding you for not being rich
Yeah, not completely new, but with the rise of LLMs, a new riff on an old stereotype.
I’m sorry, I’ve had similar things levied at me and it does not feel good being dehumanized like that
Of course, I often want to be a robot, so there’s that
There’s a reason I always go synth ascension in Stellaris
This has not happened to me yet, but it is far from the first time I have seen someone report it to a forum I use directly (ie not citing a publication or something). It is discouraging.
Russian Bots
Failing the Turing Test because real human interactions are now a statistical anomaly.Love the username, btw. The Death’s Gate Cycle is my favorite book series! 💜
I grew up on Weis and Hickman and it was my favorite.
I dressed up as Haplo for Halloween once as a kid. No one knew who I was, but I was happy lol.
I wrote a whole effortpost on how this was going to happen like a year ago but I was too scared to post it
