Darius Kazemi on Nostr: One thing I learned from making Twitter bots and web toys with "personality" for ...
One thing I learned from making Twitter bots and web toys with "personality" for years is that some people *desperately* wanted those things to be intelligent. I would say exactly how my algorithm worked to show that it was doing nothing more than pulling random items from a set. But some would assume there was magic happening on some level anyway. There was a hunger for that to be the case, and I think LLM companies trade in sating that hunger.
