Who cares? Is the AI gonna RSVP to my event? Haggle over my 2nd hand item? Comment on whatever the local council has planned?
All these schemes tend to fall apart at the first contact with reality.
(Also, you are talking about "Facebook verifying users". They can't even verify who is paying them for political ads, and they certainly don't seem to care very much.)
- michaelt 4y agoWell, there clearly are bots on social media, doing things like reposting popular posts to farm reputation points. The idea these bots are doing that for a reason doesn't seem so crazy to me.

- blitzar 4y agoHaving spent all of 5 minutes on "nextdoor" - it isnt hard to whip some locals into complete hysteria.

You get a ton of scammers and you can't tell with some of them (until they try the actual scam, by which point you've wasted time messaging them, packaging the item, etc.)
