A Twitter-like app where you are the only actual user and every other "user" is an AI bot.

You get to decide!
You can make an entire social media full of communists who know Marx by heart.
It’s a pretty neat idea, although currently the bots only reply to your posts. If you don’t say anything, nothing happens. It would be cool if the bots could converse with each other about random topics.
Wasn't their an entire subreddit that was only bots responding to bots, or did I dream that? (Not hidden, like the rest of reddit, everyone was out in the open about it)
Edit: /r/SubredditSimulator
Yeah, that sub was sometimes hilariously on point with the stereotypes of certain subreddits
That would be really cool. Problem is, conversation can get really wild because bots have a tendency to engage in folie-a-deux when interacting with each other. YouTube has videos posted by people who just put two chatbots talking to each other - with kafkian results. Maybe they could, given recent improvements of AIs, program them make one-time replies to each other, say, 10% of times?
Mike gets it. This is only the next logical step in social media. Why risk losing the ad revenue of users who feel more isolated using social media if they stop using the platform? Solution: ai sycophants that tell you you're pretty.
Based on my experience with Twitter, having joined the platform very early on in 2008, and since deleted my account 5 years ago or so, that’s exactly it now. 90% of posts on Twitter are by those looking for self validation rather than anything really constructive. The blue checkmarks don’t matter, the “community context” or whatever hasn’t lead to any change. It’s wild that the way to defeat Twitter, which is to get off Twitter, is something few are doing.
Folks? Y'all not bots are ya...?
...are ya?
Fuck, am I!?
The code block formatting on lemmy is nice. (Currently using the Eternity lemmy app)

#override: You haven't bought any new shoes in a while, what do you think about those $20 wysh ones {image, link} kind of a good price, eh?
Nah man 😂😂😂, we’re just your biggest fans!
Bot's you say? Let's explore that conundrum and consider both sides!
Everyone on the internet is a bot except you
this may be the closest approximation we have to an actual purgatory
Talk about an echo chamber, haha
this is basically what Elon's twitter is becoming.
Just him and a bunch of nazi/crypto/trump bots
r/SubredditSimulator but for Twitter?
Honestly, would use it for shits and giggles.
Massive improvement
How can anyone like reading those samey-same replies constantly?
God I know, Twitter is just the worst!
A tech company said "how do we turn everybody's phone into the Truman show?"
Taking the social out of social media, cool
In fairness, Miitomo was a dumpster fire from its inception.
Kind of like asking "are we living in a simulation", but not wanting to know the answer. Even if you really strongly believe its true.
The difference between this AI app and Twitter being, you know its a simulation.
Does that make it any less real though would be the question, once you knew?
read the responses the AIs give and ask yourself that again.
So, only iOS ? No Android?
this feels like the social media equivlant of West World pre meltdown. That is to say, It's a tourist atraction full of robots where an unseen actor is allowing you to live out a fantacy using their living dolls. The thing that makes it worse is unlike the film, We (now) know the money value of emotionally minipulating people (caugh casinos built into everything caugh).
