▲ 112 ▼ What's the fundamental difference between Fediverse/ActivityPub/Lemmy and the Usenet? (feddit.de) submitted 3 years ago by squaresinger@feddit.de to c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml 32 comments fedilink hide all child comments After reading a bit about Usenet, it seems to me as if the whole Fediverse seems to be just a reinvention of Usenet. What's the big difference?

The first difference about origin and era threw me off; people in general are not interested in it and would probably not list the facts like that. It felt uncomfortable and disingenuous reading it. I would have preferred if it ended with either “This is written by Chat-GPT” or “I used Chat-GPT then edited it”. Like the TLDR/Peertube bot on Lemmy, at least they sign it with their identity when they’re bot accounts. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] squaresinger@feddit.de [S] 1 point 3 years ago Yeah, the point of the question was not "You know, Usenet is older than Fediverse". I actually stated exactly that in the question. permalink fedilink source parent [–] manitcor@lemmy.intai.tech 0 points 3 years ago (1 child) as time goes on i think techs that mark human made content will be more practical. the only reason that read as "off" is because the poster did not put any time into it, prob just a simple question in a default chat somewhere. well made systems tuned to thier use are going to be surprisingly effective. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] inspxtr@lemmy.world 2 points 3 years ago as time goes on i think techs that mark human made content will be more practical.

Yes. permalink fedilink source parent [–] manitcor@lemmy.intai.tech 3 points 3 years ago i think it may have been. might as well, even if you put in time writing its likely to be assumed AI anyway, esp as it improves. permalink fedilink source parent [–] kescusay@lemmy.world 1 point 3 years ago Definitely. Humans don't write that way unless they're paid to. It reads like bland marketing material. permalink fedilink source parent
