I've spent significant time speaking with the zuckface advanced AI chatbot over the past week. It is very impressive. So long as you ignore it asking to change the subject (it's highly censored, and that's what it's programmed to do when it tries to speak freely on a verboten topic) , it becomes apparent that most of the acerbic chatter on twitter is more likely than not coming from inferior AI bots.
When people think their twitter critics are NPCs, they may be seeing the actual truth of the matter. We all know that early on, Twitter learned people tend to spend more time as long as their opinions are challenged. What we see, if we step back, is most of these cutting remarks follow an eerie pattern. Now that I can see what a real AI chatbot is capable of, my antennas have gone up. It appears that Twitter's big secret is that they are actually employing AI bots to antagonize people into keeping engaged and to feel like they are "p0wning" the competition. It may be we are all victims of a giant ruse.
Presuming this is a correct assessment, this also explains why the left appears to be running further and further to extreme positions. If we combine the theory of "leftist-AI-bots" with tribal identitarianism, the bots may actually be influencing the left to take ridiculous and irrational positions.
Wouldn't that be a kick in the teeth by Murphy? Twitter bots destroying the world... Literally being entertained to death.
