I mean, I’ve seen Reddit bots copy and paste comments from the same post as replies, so, assuming the bot has an equal chance to reply to every comment, I guess replying to the same comment wouldn’t be unheard of if there’s not enough replies.
Why? (And now don’t anyone suggest a bot, because that’s stupid programming for a bot so unlikely, hopefully)
Actually it’s not stupid programming.
AI bot models have to be created from something. It’s not just a human being explicitly telling a bot to do X or Y, they study how other humans make posts, and then mimic them based on their models.
Bots are studying how certain people here on Lemmy (and elsewhere) do comments, and then mimic what they’re doing, to try to blend in. You’ll even see bots replying to bots in like kind, to try to add credibility to the original comment being replied to.
Yeah sure, but if there is a chance my bot one for one copies a comment (and doesn’t cut out anything as often done on/as I often saw done on reddit) I would still add a hard condition of NOT being able to directly reply to the copied comment…
Like reply to another comment in the thread or not at all if there is only one comment or at least one level further down but not directly to my copied source, that’s way too obvious!

Did… did you just copy their comment word for word and posted it as a reply‽

I read their profile and… wow.
Yeah it’s hard not being a radical communist on Lemmy 😂
It’s hard being a conservative extremist on Lemmy
I mean, tbf, it’s probably hard being a hateful idiot pretty much all the time, not just on Lemmy.

That’s not how those machine language models work though.
