Until now, I have kept the comments section on this blog wide open, but you may force me to change that. I know you are not a machine, because you react to the content of the posts you spam. Please stop. You are making my small corner of the world a worse place.
In other news, I am back from Australia and St. Louis. Once my head stops swimming, I'll work up a blog post or two.
"I know you are not a machine, because you react to the content of the posts you spam."
ReplyDeleteThe spam bots of today are pretty sophisticated - I wouldn't rule out the possbility that the messages generated can to some extent be conditional on the post content. Of course I haven't seen these spam messages so I can't really judge. And really, if a philosopher of consciousness deems that you've passed the Turing test, you're probably human!
Seems like low-grade philosophical commentary. If a spam bot can deliver that, we're closer to Turing than I would have thought!
ReplyDeleteActually I've seen spam bots do that.
ReplyDeleteThe spam bot did somthing like taking a section of text, rephrasing it as a question and disputing it.
It was very amusing in how good it was, although you could still tell it was probably a bot... maybe yours is version 2.0.
