AI Harvesting?

[GaryE]

All of a sudden, my Facebook feed is full of questions on one colour backgrounds (blue here) about aquariums. They start with "Tell me about your" and continue to ask about opinions on tank size, water changing, different fish species, etc. Are we seeing AI fishing for info from hobbyists? The format's the same, the style's the same, the questions are all basic but the poster are all different 'identities'.

And they all finish with questions, like this one. What do you think is going on?

Well, what the heck DO you think is going on? I've been wondering that for years.

Next time you get that, maybe share this song with them. It might make your AI friend feel less alone.

We ain’t seen nothing yet with artificial intelligence . Skynet is about to become self aware .

I'm a highly evolved being who can defend itself from hair eating robots. Baldness is an adaptation.

So today, three more dumb general questions on two different aquarium club FB sites. No one answers them. They're too general.

Just have some fun with them!
