Bots

There was a time where JK was accusing everyone of being a bot. Though I was intrigued by the idea, I never really followed it until I started getting comment spam up the ying-yang. His philosophical hmmm’s starting making sense when faced with the manual deletion of 500 messages about phenadrine and penis-pumps.

Within the last year, someone in the circle of bloggers said that perhaps spam is the “baby-talk” of an artificial life form that is trying to communicate with us.

This may be old news, but my friend Phil found a blog today that is written by a fairly sophisticated script: Michelin Aquiana.

If this AI is indeed trying to communicate with us, perhaps we should leave legitimate questions on one of it’s blogs and attempt to start a discussion. If *it* wants to leave floods of comments on our sites, perhaps we should show that we are, in fact, listening and initiate a deliberate response.

What would you ask of the first truly intelligent machine?
