Have you talked with the SW AI Bots?

@Locke How do you know?

@LordShadowfire Because I prefer the conversation of people. Off this site I would talk to my wife and children, or in the pub with friends.

There is no entertainment speaking to a bot. It just tells you what it thinks you want to hear.

@Locke What I mean is, if you've not talked to them, how do you know what they would say?

@LordShadowfire You can tell by the wording of the answers.

The content had obvious engagement patterns, generic or low-quality content, unusual activity, and a lack of personal information on the account.

A normal person speaks of their life, what’s important to them. A bot just churns information.

@Locke So you have talked to them.

@LordShadowfire As I said in my first reply. Not willingly. Only long enough to identify them.

What’s your curiosity?

@Locke I don't know. I'm half asleep and missed the bit where you implied you had talked to them. It sounded like you hadn't, yet you "already knew".

@LordShadowfire No, I thought I was talking to someone, then realised they were a bot and quit the conversation.

All the people here who talk about politics without ever talking about their lives or interests are people I often confuse with bots.
