Can we assume that an edited post or comment was made by a human? Kinda curious if the edit flag implies ‘human’ now?

    Right, thanks, that’s helpful. But i think I wasn’t clear enough.

    I know that it technically can, I’m more wondering how likely that capability is right now, so that it’s kind of unlikely that edited comments are AI at the moment, perhaps?

    I get how it works, but I’m not as privy to how it’s being implemented in social media platforms, if this makes sense.

      Now I’m confused. Thoroughly.

      Either you haven’t read more than the first line of my explanations… or your attempt at clarification has made your real question even more unclear.

      (Hmmm… do unclear questions indicate human?)

        Sorry, I have read your whole response, I think I’m just being obtuse.

        I guess I didn’t mean bots – maybe that’s where our disconnect is? I was thinking of APIs (and maybe that’s where our now means bots?) and bigger things than what I think of as bots. So I may have misunderstood you.

          In AI terms it is called “agent” but in social media terms it is called “bot”. For this topic they are the same.
