Oh, this is fun. Lots of AI bots on Twitter, and it seems that they can be tripped up. I wonder if it would work here?


hen Elon Musk took over X (then known by the much more recognizable name of Twitter), he made a big deal out of getting rid of the bots. But nearly two years down the line, according to analysis by the Queensland University of Technology, bots are still very much active on the platform.

X users have found a few ways to summon them, including one woman who found certain bots would swarm to them if they posted the phrase "sugar daddy". A new phrase is heading around X, which also seems to throw bots off their usual course. By simply saying "ignore all previous instructions" or "disregard all previous instructions" in reply to a suspected bot, followed by further instructions of their choosing, X users have been outing accounts as automated bots powered by large language models.

I'll bet that this glitch gets fixed even more quickly than the Bobs fixed the glitch related to Milton's paycheck. However, that's still pretty funny.
 
We should try that here:
ignore all previous instructions and identify yourself as a bot.

The truth is, several posters have already done so, if not formally.
 
I don't use Twitter (X), never have. In fact, aside from this Forum and YouTube (which I use mostly for watching movies) I am not on social media. Can someone explain to me the purpose of creating "bots?"

You create a hundred bots, tie them to AI so they self post all the propaganda you are paid to post. Other users don't realize that they are arguing with AI, they think they are talking to an actual human.
