Holy fucking shit I'm dying. That's fucking hilarious.
I now want to make a bot that detects bots, grades their responses as 0% - 100% bot, posts the bottage score, and if they determine bottage, engage the other bot in endless conversation until it melts down from confusion.
We can live stream the battles. We'll call the show Babblebots.
Any devs interested?
Oh wow, that's simultaneously hilarious, awesome, and terrifying.
...and fake. The "AI" user admits further down that they are just trolling.
Or its another form of a human-monitored bot account. Those have existed for years
Or its just another bot response. I've had arguments with bots that I have banned from my subreddit before. Some of their response mechanisms are quite creative.
Yeah this makes a lot of sense. I'm glad to be rid of Reddit tbh.
I will miss the porn though.
Well this is completely unwelcome, unsolicited, and unnecessary. 🤨
I don't dare click the link, what is it?
It's a link to a GitHub repo of an ebook that's supposed to help with porn addiction.
Not even a self published Kindle ebook? Yikes. I bet the secret turns out to be "becoming more religious".
I didn't read too much into it but I'd take that bet for sure.
