In Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, cybernetic humans had a mode they could activate to protect their cyber brains from attack, colloquially named "Autistic Mode." What if we had a similar mode to hide us from bots? I’d want something like this to default to "on," as I tend to be quite privacy-focused but i suppose that could be debated.
Once activated, no bot would be able to see you on the grid. To them, you simply wouldn’t exist. They wouldn’t be able to see you in-world, view your profile, or interact with your objects even step foot on your land.
As an aside I'm extremely skeptical that adding AI and bots to SL is a good idea. I see a lot of companies attempting to fill the gaps by using bots. Game companies, social media companies. Famously Meta just announced they were going to start shoving them into Facebook feeds. I just don't see the value they offer on a platform that I think we generally want to be about connecting people. I don't think most people want to engage in prolonged conversations with word generators... I can see some instances where there limited use could be helpful but I do hope very careful eyes are placed on the treacherous road ahead.
