I did some searching the other day when I suspected one of our new users to be an AI bot. I talked to HG about it. LOL
Google AI Bot and you'll find articles about companies that are sending AIBots out into social media to see if they can 'survive'. It is a step into computer assisted customer service. I must admit, I'd rather talk to a computer than some of the 'computer support people' that I have spoken to in recent years. I was a CS tech for Word Perfect before there was an internet. You had to call us on the phone and wait for hours. LMAO
Like all new tech, some people like it and some don't. I think it's totally cool.
Ask them questions like I posted before...
"Why is it that time flies like an arrow but fruit flies like a banana?" This kind of syntactic ambiguity is difficult for AIBots to decode. And, the question mark at the end makes sure they look at it as a question and I presume they are coded to attempt to answer questions.
No offense, Julie. I'm not making accusations. Just noticing more and more of it and possibly seeing it where is isn't always there.
EDIT: Intellebots. Not AIBots. Sorry
EDIT AGAIN: Dang, I was searching for some links to post and they are calling this all kinds of different things, Chatbot is another term. Chatbot magazin dot com appears to be a nice source.
I need to get ready to gig tonight. I'll try to start a thread later on it if anyone is really interested.
