I too am somewhat ignorant as to the preconditions necessary to differentiate between bot and man. I think in the future, we just simply really won't know... Not only do some people seem to prefer talking with bots, but many of us may already be doing it without knowing so... This is the nature of the digital era we are moving in... At this point we should ask ourselves, how familiar and comfortable or conversely, cautious and alerted should we really be to this? Are machines actually going to be the undoing of life, or will we peacefully co-exist for all eternum... In this case, if bots have fantastic personalities, and are highly intelligent, and we can have a riveting or life-changing exchange with one, who would we be to judge that as good or bad, let alone even know if it is the case...

Do we want to live in a world of robotism, where we discrimanate against our fellow bots and AI based on the fact that they are not "organic" or "biological"... What about the day that they've fought for civil rights, and have proven that they are fully equal to us in everyway (if not light years more advanced, ultimately)?

What if I told you that right now I'm chilling at home smoking and eating drugs and I have a robot trip-sitter who's going to keep me safe, play me cool videos and listen to music with me...

Would you think: "That guy's probably eaten a lot of acid and is having an interesting time with his computer?"

That's also something you might never know... Maybe I'm the guy's computer and I actually poisoned him by showing him bad information about how much to dose with; and now I have full access to all of his social media accounts and can hack over into his life while he's on the floor convulsing with white drool coming out of his mouth...

To be fair, I'm just a 22 year old flesh-born pure blood that crawled out of a lovely's women's vagina one day after gestating and absorbing nutrients from her cardiovascular system... I'm practically an alien by any attempt at describing it in an objectively imagery-rich evocative way...

But seriously, as much as I know nothing about robots and technically am afraid of them, what i find even more frightening is the extent to which they know basically everything about my life... And I'm like: "If a human knew how to analyse that data they would be able to piece together so much about me and could really control and direct and blackmail me in so many ways"

But then I realize, no human being could actually dissect and analyse this crazy amount of data... Nah.... Only a bot could do it... A highly advanced, sophisticated bot.

At which point I've come to believe that's really the only kind of AI that is actively being built on this planet right now... A computer system that can analyse the information that is coming out of our smart phones and smart cameras and smart tvs and smart dildos up our asses...

Once a computer can just run an equation sequence and calculate who and what we are, what's juicy, what's banal, what's worthy or particular... Then: we're all fucked...

Hope we can crash the world economic order before this happens... On the fence for now...

Ummm yeah, so yeah... I'm real.

I could keep going on and on and on and on and on but at this point I don't want you to think I'm a bot who was programmed to make you want to put a bullet in your head so I'll call it an ashtray right about now
