What's Zuck planning with his Facebook bots? Maximum $ilo revenue

I'm (fake) Morgan Freeman: Ask me anything

I remember hearing about how Reddit "ask me anything" had become infested with fakes celebrities, where their PR team was promoting something or other, and people were angry when they discovered the subterfuge.

This is sort of like that but worse. Who would want to talk to a fake celebrity bot? Chat bots are as close to passing the Turing test as they were in the 90s. Sure you can cheat and use stupider humans until they are fooled, but seriously this whole thing is nonsense.

Contradiction

"....I am an open source advocate and support open source software, I actively encourage my family and friends to dump windows and use Linux on their desktop computers....."

".....but I am too lazy to find a better way of communicating with my friends and relatives so I sell myself out to a corporate internet intermediary that is slowly ratcheting control over the web by way of a fatuous brainless social media service ...."

"22 per cent of the world’s population"

Or, more accurately and somewhat ironically given the topic, around 5-10% of the world's population plus a shitload of bots and spammers.

Peak Bot

One can only wonder if there will be a time when Faecebook is populated solely be bots and people called Charlene.

Any company that tries to force me through someone else "services"...

... gets to money from me. Anybody who thinks to "externalize" its customers interaction through Facebook or others, sends me elsewhere.

And thanks to heaven I have no need to "interact" with (fake) "celebrities" beyond what the do in a recording, movie or a sporting field. I don't even read interviews, read one, read all of them...
