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?

SocialAI comes across as sort of a joke, or maybe some kind of meta-commentary on the concept of social media and cheap engagement, particularly after creator Michael Sayman helpfully explained: “now we can all know what Elon Musk feels like after acquiring Twitter for $44 billion, but without having to spend $44 billion.” He also says it’s “designed to help people feel heard,” though, and is ostensibly a way to help people avoid feeling isolated.

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.

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.

How can anyone like reading those samey-same replies constantly?

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?

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).
