Will bots make the internet useless for real conversations in the future?

Is an AI reply worse than one from a random stranger? You shouldn’t trust either without fact-checking.

True, but at least a person might genuinely want to help. Bots can generate endless replies with no effort. AI is useful, but you still have to double-check its answers.

AI might mimic human emotions so well that it’ll argue and complain just like real people.

This is such a nerdy topic.

In the future? It’s already happening.

Don’t worry, the bots will let us talk in person at the zoo.

Trust will be a rare thing in the future.

I wonder how this will affect kids growing up online.

There are already too many captchas. I hope platforms find better ways to confirm who’s real.

Why wait for the future? It’s already hard to tell who’s real.

I sure hope the internet stays human-friendly!

Maybe most of the internet is already bot-generated, and we just don’t realize it.

I’ve stopped talking to people. AI is my best friend now.

That’s not healthy. Real friendships are a two-way street. Please try to connect with actual people.

Where do you go to meet people?

Mostly just at work.
