The next logical step is to have AI (GPT-3?) read the social posts of the contact and produce an email based on that and the last email. I hope the poor people on the other end of the author's networking scheme also have AI to read this and reply.
- toxik 5y agoPeople definitely do this on matchmaking sites!
- keithalewis 5y agoJust ask Eric Schmidt. Oh, wait. Whacky parsed as ad making sites. Nevermind. Didn't that guy write something about AI with another guy named Henry? Is AI trying to get us mad or get us laid? Somebody needs to write a program to figure that out and turn it into DoggyDuJourCoin. I heard you can make easy money doing that. It's all good. Who wants to bother with thinking when computers can do that for us now. I'm sure nobody is trying to take advantage of people who don't do that. #PTBarnum

- avgcorrection 5y agoThat’s a logical leap. No part of the interaction is automated.
- jbuhbjlnjbn 5y agoThe timing is automated.
- avgcorrection 5y agoThe timing of birthdays is “automated”. Irrelevant.
- butwhywhyoh 5y agoIt's very relevant. The author could have devised a system that was "reach out to people on their birthdays", but they didn't. They set up an automated system that reminds you to contact people based on their predetermined level of importance. Having an AI craft an automated "ice breaker" style message doesn't seem like too much of a leap from here.
