This is the internet circa 2022. We can't put past some advanced media programmed AI posting on topics, Just look at GPT-2 bots and know they are actually more advanced.


I recognize bots and pseudo AI all the time, some more sophisticated than others.

Any bot or AI you're able to recognize in part by something like a star patterns isn't the AI you need to be worried about.

In a general sense if you're depending on some bit of information to make assessments, that bit of information will be manipulated by anybody or anything sophisticated enough to merit your concern.

We... um, I mean THEY, they always win in the end.

True they do always win. Still a bit more information wouldn't hurt when forming opinions on posters here? There are probably a few who aren't actually bots right??? maybe.

What are you hoping to learn? I can't be the only one who stars just about everything I read, even if I disagree.

I was going to add something, after that. Then if stars have a name, and you wanted to protect your "privacy" then you wouldn't star such and such posts, for such and such reason. The stars still meaningless but you wouldn't want someone to know you starred this post? for whatever reason? Then don't star it. Doesn't mean we shouldn't be able to see who, just because you might want to post a star but not have anyone make some correlation between what you say and why you starred it.

IF you're really against people building a credit score to your name. Don't post at all right? Only way.

I don't know.

Can I even confirm I'm not a bot?

If I were to design the perfect bot I don't believe it would consider itself one.

Not AI, merely I.

that behavior would be easy to identify after reading on here for a few weeks with named stars.

you're not really going learn anything, it will still be nebulous at best. It will however present another data point other than just what someone personally says, it will at least show who read a post and for some reason pressed star. Even if by accident it will show who is reading a thread.


I sort of see the persons privacy concern better now, Still like I said just don't be logged in don't post if you don't want people "thinking" about who you are.

Lol. I think since AOL instant messenger bots were programmed to say they're not bots.

God knows who is really a bot now.

Same

I star on accident very very often.


That's irresponsible and obviously you need your star privileges removed.

What if a child had gotten their hands on that star?


Blame the people who trusted me with this power!

I had forgotten my star count years ago, I star and give bonus points for all kinds of reasons, including post I don't agree with.

Disagree. If we did then users would be to focused on who starred them or didn't versus the content itself.

Besides ,its all silly and abused already . You already have certain users that star based on the the cliq or cult that they belong too . Then you have the whole star bug as well.

We at the Internation Star Registry would like to point out that's not a bug, it's a feature.

And we're not a cult, we're providing a valuable service for space memorabilia enthusiasts.

How is that doxxing? You can only star if you have an account. LIke making a post why shouldn't we able to see who starred something. Like I've already said, if you don't want people to know you starred something don't star it?

The bigger question is why wouldn't you want people to be able to see you starred a post?

I admit it. In some of the stranger threads, I can steer the narratives by adding stars or not...

Bwaahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.
