My take on this--a slightly different angle than the article--is that for the programmable normies, chatbots are becoming the perceived and accepted norm for human behavior.
This is the same phenomenon that has taken place with the totally phony and artificial "reality TV". They come to think it's real. Seriously, listen closely (if you can stomach it) to people who are fans of this kind of programming talk about it.
Then in a feedback loop for both reality TV and chatbots, the normies begin to behave in like manner. Monkey see, monkey do. Anyone that retains or tries to elevate their level of consciousness and authentic, meaningful human interaction becomes increasingly perceived as alien, and even threatening.
And, well, that's the point, isn't it?
any reply on a comment i see that goes "bro" or has anything in it like that too much makes me think it's a bot. and it probably is
I think you're right. After seeing what CharGPT is capable of, and after lowering my estimation (again) of what the average person is capable of, I think there are significantly more bots than I ever suspected.
