Recently I got a comment on one of my articles here, and I couldn't tell if it was a defective spambot or not due to the title "Language Basics Crash Course" and a message that was completely out of context (about javascript on a C++ article)
I replied because of the ambiguity, and corrected their comment since the article was C++. Then another commenter (a real one) joined in the discussion. A couple replies later, I get a spambot replying to my reply.
I suspect within a decade the spambots here will have whole conversations with each other.

Pretty sure they already are on certain social media.

When it comes to 'social media' the spambot-spambot conversations are, with few exceptions, the most intelligent ones....

In this country, we call that Parliament.

In America, we call it Congress.

All of us are spambots. You are the only human user.

The person who developed The Simulation should have known that.

You know there's a whole lot of AI/ML going on behind those bots?
If it offered you a language basics crash course you probably need it (it probably saw your single line if-statements)

It/they actually told me I didn't need semicolons at the end of my lines.

Some JavaScript lines do not need semicolons. Maybe it thought your C++ was JavaScript? Needs to crunch some more languages whether human or AI.

Just because they don't doesn't mean you shouldn't

That'd be awesome. That means we could send them off to their own forum we could ignore and they could keep themselves busy.
Can we take that model and extend that to the whole internet?
(although I suppose this is what Facebook is doing today - I have all their properties blocked in Pi-Hole, and I remain blissfully ignorant of anything that's going on there...)

My Dad was career Army and made sure we had some of the same chow that he and his team had to eat during WW2.
Not sure why it is so popular in Hawaii.

In the time before bots, I had two mail servers talking to each other.
looking at email stats I noticed the top sender had sent and received hundreds of thousands of emails.
Upon investigation what had happened was the person had put an out-of-office notification on, as had a customer on her account. I cannot say who fired the first shot, but both were replying to out of office messages immediately after receiving an out of office message.
Nothing succeeds like a budgie without teeth.
To err is human, to arr is pirate.
