Earlier quoted context omitted.

Rapidly (and with its help) get it to a point where it can self-improve beyond human intelligence.

That doesn't make any sense. Just because a bot can pass for a human doesn't make it capable of improving itself into a superintelligence. Evidence: 6+ billion humans who are capable of improving themselves but are not a superintelligence yet.

I understand your point of view, but humans are limited in terms of processing power/speed/memory though. An ai is not limited by human limits of thinking power.

The gulf between the smartest human being ever and the dumbest human being ever is not really that wide. It's just a small blip in the long line of intelligence progression. There is no reason why this point should be the limiting point of AI intelligence. It is very likely that the stable point of AI intelligence is far beyond human intelligence, from just the sheer quality of processing hardware that exists that is better than, or could become better than human hardware.

One Reddit user has already implemented a bot which does something similar: https://www.reddit.com/r/SubredditSimulator/

SubredditSimulator was made by a Reddit Admin as a method of creating test data. It uses Markov chains for simplicity, which is not that exciting.

"Oh my God, they'll turn it on and it'll start spewing memes and jokes and ad hominem and false equivalences and propaganda and garbage!" was my first reaction to this headline. My second reaction was, "at least they're not using 4chan."

... or twitter.

Back in 2007, mobile phones used a system called T9 from Nuance corp which was trained on a word corpus taken from IRC and similar chats. This caused all kinds of issues - the mobile phones would accept offensive words like "naziparking" but reject normal language like "world peace". Using reddit may lead to ... surprises.

Might have been an exclusively German language problem, or maybe they cleaned it up since that article was published. I have a phone with T9 and it works remarkably well. Heck, I would prefer it to Swype. (Of course, it's not useful on smartphones, because they no longer have real keys.)
