Anybody hear the piece on NPR about chatbots? It made me wonder how long before they'll be a significant part of online discourse, if they're not already, luring humans to spend money.

LOL, you're sure right about that! Youtube does seem to have bot detectors, though. Sometimes if I comment on more than about five or six videos, they put up the image verification thingy (I'm sure there's a word for that). But I wonder how long before the bots figure out how to get past that!

And Facebook, and Twitter... I was hoping AI would be smarter than people. Seems they're a lot alike...

Borrowed my signature from a spambot. Judging from it, they're not that intelligent.

Great link, snarf, robots could never come up with a song nearly as brilliant as that!
