    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.

          They need to process, it would depend on how much processing power you fed them… or how much money you could throw at it.

          Also, this experiment would require re-training the bots periodically, which takes even more processing power.

      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!
