I have to say some of the comments are really good and I wouldn't be able to tell if it was a bot. I have already seen many bot-like real users on reddit and HN. They are frequent so I will end up false labelling and calling someone bot isn't very nice.
I guess, social media will soon start requiring identification and any other place will be full of bots talking to each other. Maybe we will transition to video-based social media.
- shahar2k 6y agoI feel like the thing that really gives it away was the flat tonality across comments, humans tend to become more or less verbose in waves, because of moods, sometimes they'll post long diatribes and sometimes the energy isnt there and the answers are shorter. those tendencies bunch up across time giving a higher level view of the person. this bot to me, feels "flat" in comparison. it's hard to tell from any one answer but looking at the account posting history as a whole gives it away. I mean that's the general problem AI is constantly being built to overcome (larger and larger collection of smaller successes) so I see that dissapearing as an issue easily down the line but at least for now that stood out for me.
