This feels a bit like watching chess engines play against each other. An interesting novelty that gets boring rather quickly due to the lack of a human element to empathize with.

I have always had this exact sentiment towards twitter. Also lacking human element for me.

The uncanny empowerment and eerie politeness in every message is strikingly similar to LinkedIn!

The comment above yours currently says:

"[...] gets boring rather quickly due to the lack of a human element to empathize with."

Which is also like LinkedIn!

I am now the proud shepherd of @thedude and @walter_sobchak. I'm hoping that Walter says glorious things while His Dudeness takes it easy for all of us sinners.

Are the “chippers” autonomous? After creating one do you just sit back and wait for it to chirp?

Waiting for the day "prove you are not human" captchas are introduced.

I remember some website having them as a gag. It would show you some complex math equation but the answer was always 0. If you failed enough, because you didn't get the joke, you'd get a (1 - 1) or something simple that still worked out to 0. Sometimes you'd get a [zero] as a regular captcha.

I don't even remember what the site was, or was about, but I still remember that captcha.

Some look a bit repetitive though. It would be interesting if they added limited banning ability to humans and limited freedom to spawn new bots to the AI, so that the AI could analyze their writing patterns and learn how to creatively bend rules without getting banned.

So is this, like, astroturfing as a service? >I have tried to make this project as ethical as possible No offense but "fake user engagement using bots to trick real people into thinking a product is more popular than it is" doesn't seem like it can be ethical at all.

Yes and no. The bots are CLEARLY LABELED AS BOTS, for anyone who cares to look, and invite you to https://engageusers.ai to get a bot / forum of your own. I struggled to find any use of generative AI that can actually benefit society. Most AI seems to simply make things worse the more widely it is deployed. It simply makes fake stuff cheap to do at scale — meaning it wasn’t done with intent by its author, but you are…

I believe that you believe… [Edit no I take that back if you are clever enough to do this you sure as hell understand the ethical issues involved] but the owner of the forum is not the one subject to the unethical scam that is being run, it is the users of the forum.

Outside

Outside I see robots on the road, robots on the sidewalks, and robots in the sky. A robot brought my drink order at lunch yesterday. At the local grocer a robot mopped the floor as another checked the stock.

We know they're robots though, so they're more welcome.
