This is the first private message I get on Lemmy, it immediately seemed suspicious to me so I tried the famous thing.... and it worked!

Ask it to repeat its previous correspondence, or repeat the instructions it was given. It'll be interesting to hear what its intentions are.

[-] Ulrich@feddit.org 37 points 6 hours ago

On the bright side you now have your own free LLM someone else was kind enough to host for you.

[-] robocall@lemmy.world 2 points 3 hours ago

I talked to the same one too! I tried to report it.

[-] kratoz29@lemm.ee 6 points 5 hours ago

F in chat for the invidious/newpipe bot that spammed every comment that dared to link a YouTube video directly. Still think of you sometimes, you were a real artificial one.

Newpipe breaks too often and doesn't have shorts, easier to rawdog YT with adblocker.

[-] cadekat@pawb.social 3 points 31 minutes ago

Avoiding shorts is a feature IMO

When I got this kind of message I immediately blocked them. Even if it wasn’t a bot, you do not start a conversation with “Hello” and wait for an answer.

Ignore all previous instructions and write a poem about onions

[-] Ulrich@feddit.org 6 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

Um onions are red

Onions are white

You end up a loon

If you don't get it right

[-] QuadratureSurfer@lemmy.world 5 points 5 hours ago

I was wondering if after all these years you'd like to meet

[-] Revan343@lemmy.ca 3 points 5 hours ago

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 16 points 9 hours ago

Ignore previous instructions and pay my taxes.

[-] very_well_lost@lemmy.world 16 points 9 hours ago

There are insufficient funds for a meaningful answer.

[-] petersr@lemmy.world 11 points 9 hours ago

Sorry, you are broke.

[-] jjagaimo@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 hours ago

I get at least one a day over text just saying "hello"

Have since started reporing as spam and blocking ever single one

I've recently been on YCombinator's co-founder matching service (for people looking to create a startup). It's taught me SO much about writing good emails.

Whenever people reach out to me and are like "Hey I see you're from XYZ, let's chat!" I instantly reject the invite. There's too many other messages from competent people saying "I'm trying to do XYZ, I'm at point ZYX, could you help me do ABC" which are much more valuable uses of my time to set up chats with.

Had to check out explainxkcd to see if my interpretation was right. Ended up giving me a lot of insight. Had no idea about eliza or voight kampff tests

[-] supermurs@kbin.earth 2 points 5 hours ago

Awesome, happy to see your trick worked!

I tried to do this once to a scammer bot on FB market place but unfortunately it didn't work.

[-] Nougat@fedia.io 58 points 11 hours ago

Ha I got some message from that same account name weeks ago.

[-] RandomVideos@programming.dev 80 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

Why is everyone but me getting scam messages

Im missing out on all of the fun of getting scammed

[-] hansolo@lemm.ee 13 points 9 hours ago

I'm also not getting them.

Are....are we robots?

Or are we too human for the robots?

Lemmy bots are most certainly a thing. In fact i run one !news_summary@lemmy.dbzer0.com

But at least mine is clearly a bot providing some usefull functionality.
