There was a comment thread recently on HN where someone noted that the user-profile to the comment they were replying to stated that all of the comments were AI generated. The reply from that account was something to the effect of "accusing your those you disagree with of being bots is counterproductive"

The whole thing was a bit surreal.

[edit]

Found the comment:

> ... As for the typos, I strongly believe little mistakes are what makes humans human. Insinuating other users you converse with online are bots is kind of a bad faith claim that derails political discussion[1].

[edit 2]

At the time of this edit, the most recent comment by this alleged bot is, somewhat ironically:

> This reads like a grade schooler trying to plagiarize something with his first thesaurus. I am disappointed by AI every day[2].

it feels that way already. Many arguments (if you get into them) can many times just be how well both sides can google something to back them up. At that point you are just arguing with google plus suggestions?

Depends on the bot. I like debating because it helps me formalize and explore different aspects of my ideas. If a bot is good at playing that role it would be great, especially if I knew it was a bot and could run it locally (and that it was free software).
