Youtube Bots and the Bot Web Anonymous 04/10/17 (Mon) 21:23:21 No.3447

Has it reached most peoples attention yet that most youtube comments are posted by bot accounts? I mean accounts with a human name and human face, someone presenting as a human who is apparently not. Or is it paranoid to think so?

It's not just on youtube, I see it on Amazon too. Short snippy reviews that use vague terminology like 'great product A+'. Sometimes you can click a profile and you'll see odd reviews left by people with odd-looking heads. Mostly their reviews are short but have typos or a familiar theme between them, like this 'Parastoo's' obsession with German quality products. Browsing art supply reviews I came upon one of these odd-headed, uncanny valley looking types who left a review on an erotic connect-the-dot picture book, disappointed that there were 'no good cockworshipping blowjob pictures' in the book, which is very risque with her face as her profile picture.

There's a h3h3 youtube video called 'spamtube'. He says bots are real, but he suggests the girl with the big boobs in the comments is not a bot. She actually is a bot though, obviously, or at least it's not a real girl.

What does /32/ think about this?

>'machine-learned AI' chat bots exist

>most people have simple fragmented minds that just seek validation for their emotions

>money on the table

has anyone noticed this sky high pile of cash lying around?

yes.

You are totally missing how dangerous this is.

With this competition for expression from computer programs, most people are effectively reduced to bots themselves in terms of public discourse.

Another reminder that anyone intelligent needs to gather into enclaves and build their own parallel economy to weather this storm as well as can be.

I suspect that there are many bots. I also suspect that many people really can be so shallow and a-sentient in their thoughts and being.

I recently read an interesting postulate by Peter Watts regarding this. Bots don't tend to be an overwhelming threat to any relatively clever person's perceptions now, although they are definitely an issue. But these bots are becoming increasingly lifelike, and amusingly they may some day come to pass the turing test (and be among the first AIs), simply through principles of machine learning and selective processes only allowing successful bots' code to pass on.

Just an amusement, that we may already face actual minds being manufactured simply to influence product purchase or voting habits.

Kids will be learning social cues from bots. They'll be growing up online observing content circulated by bots. Also I hear most traffic on the web comes from bots: https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2017/01/bots-bots-bots/515043/. The web is becoming a lot like 'The Matrix'.

If that's a no can do, would it help to migrate one's social media off YouRube and Fakebook and onto Club Penguin? Bots can't assimilate my characteristics if I'm disguised as a penguin.

Interesting. I'd never heard of him. I see he quotes another person's article on this topic which ties this back to the Cambridge Analytica thread:

https://medium.com/join-scout/the-rise-of-the-weaponized-ai-propaganda-machine-86dac61668b

>By leveraging automated emotional manipulation alongside swarms of bots, Facebook dark posts, A/B testing, and fake news networks, a company called Cambridge Analytica has activated an invisible machine that preys on the personalities of individual voters to create large shifts in public opinion. Many of these technologies have been used individually to some effect before, but together they make up a nearly impenetrable voter manipulation machine that is quickly becoming the new deciding factor in elections around the world.
