    It’s like AI inbreeding. Flaws will be amplified over time unless new material is added

      It would be a fun experiment to fill a lemmy instance with bots, defederate it from everybody then check back in 2 years. A cordonned off Alabama for AI if you will.

        Unironically, yes, that would be a cool experiment. But I don’t think you’d have to wait two years for something amusing to happen. Bots don’t need to think before posting.

          You’re right, a couple days should be enough to see funny stuff. But by two years or so, the bots would have degenerated beyond human comprehension. It would be like encountering an alien species.

      Thanks, now I am just imagining all that code getting it on with a whole bunch of other code. ASCII all over the place.

        Oh yeah baby. Let’s fork all day and make a bunch of child processes!
