By now I think we've all learned the difference between an actual friend and a virtual friend or smiling graphic on that Facebook web site, or at least a lot of people know the difference, as I am wondering about the rest of the social networking crowd these days. Just as letters are place in a specific series to represent words, and words strung together to stand for ideas, concepts, events, knowledge, or thoughts - these pictures on one's web 2 . 0 page are merely representations : but of what We ask?
How does anyone know their newest friends, who they've never met are actually even the people they will represent, how does one know? Okay so, I dare to inquire the question of some X'er with 750 friends listed on the Facebook page who they also have never actually met, the reason why you ask, well, let's talk about this shall we?
There seemed to be an interesting article within MIT's Technology Review just lately " Twitter Bots Generate Surprising New Social Connections - Researchers show how simple programs posing as real people can shape interactions on Twitter, " just by Mike Orcutt published on January 24, 2012. The article stated:
"You might have encountered a "Twitter bot" just before: an automated program that perhaps retweeted something you wrote because it had particular keywords. Or maybe you received a message from an unfamiliar, seemingly human-controlled account, only to click on an accompanying link and realize you'd been fooled by the spambot. "
Yes, here we go, computer scientists are actually working hard to using "Turing Test" AI exploits, in fact, I've been kind of playing around with a great artificial intelligent "philosophy" program lately, I haven't bothered to let the computer programmer know i know it's not serious, as I am learning by watching it, and only giving various clues to find if the programmers reading it are wise enough to learn when someone is "playing it" - it turns out the thing is really decent.
Now then, when a computer program can do that, at that level, then surely a "twitter bot" or social networking bot can and will be used against you in the court of public opinion on social networks - amazing is the point that very few people even see what's happening now behind the scenes or how these social networks are manipulating human mass behavior within our society.
Can an AI laptop computer program cause riots, chaos, and break down civilizations and society in real life? One day it might just, for instance an Arabic Spring, initiated by some sort of self-aware (semi) computer program, just having slightly fun. So, think with that, because this technology is actually here and capable within 2012.
