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

    The answer is no. An llm agent can write a post as well as edit it, and it can be done without the Lemmy instance knowledge or capability to detect.

    An llm agent uses a browser to act, so it’s much harder than a normal bot to detect. It can also use normal user credentials if those were provided to it, so it can edit my comment: create by human and edit by ai. Also, of course, true the other way around.

    (Edit note: in this case created and edited by human, if you believe me)
