Yeah, that just copies snippets from existing texts and strings them together. I have seen those come up in search results a lot recently, they fool me there but once I see the full page it becomes completely obvious. It doesn't have the ability to have conscious conversations with real people and be believable. Even a single comment clearly doesn't understand what it's replying to.

In fact saidit has its own problems with one bot in particular, the so-called "Americans bot". At first glance it may come off as an awkward misunderstanding of the OP, but once you see its post history you can easily tell it's controlled by an algorithm. The user whom everyone knows operates it sometimes posts the same copypastas, but he is capable of having intelligent conversations with other users unlike his bot.

i have been writing code since 1983 and i am impressed with what even that bot can do..the one that i just posted the link to it...

it is just a guess on my part that there are "real" AI bots out there, but that they are kept on the cool and kept quiet.. also, elon musk has commented a few times that we are all gonna be surprised as to what AI can do.

probably the general public(like me) has no clue what AI is capable of doing..

i suspect that the real AI bots could post just like you do and i would be none the wiser.

In the future probably, but we're not there yet.

as you insist, but it is usually unwise to assume that the competition is at the same level that we are at...

elon musk warned about the power of the modern AI, and i think that if anyone could have inside knowledge of what is really going on, it is probably elon musk. His money would attract AI developers to show him what they got.
