    It seems that the proliferation of bots and agentes-provocateur on sites such as twit!ter has somehow induced many to emulate such behaviour in, to take a wild example, forums like this one.
    It would indeed seem that people are beginning to act like A.I.; one had thought that people were to train AI to “think intelligently”, but now it seems that the AI’s they have Set[h] loose upon the world are training themselves( writing their own code, &c.). Are we humans letting AI train us, virtually, instead?
    Have we let go of our innate virtuous potential and given it over to machines that now apparently artificially prophecize, read minds, see through walls, even heal, and so on?
    Are we going to continue to just let this happen and lazily slide into a state of permanent echolalia?

      Yes it Seems as long as folks are addicted to social media. See techies viewpoint… https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/international-news/bigtech/the-social-dilemma/

          The point I was trying to make was that people are actually writing like bots now, while bots are writing more like people, irrespective of whether it involves social media or not.

              They’re speaking like them too.

                That’s their goal;
                to blur the line between machine and human
                [from either perspective].
                If you really look into digital; what is it?
                Into the internet; what is it?
                It is a vast copy machine.
                Not real.
                A copy. And it can never be real.
                It can only approach the ring;
                but never grasp it.
                It is the mirror on the wall;
                pretending to be the greatest of them all.
                The greatest copy, of them all;
                is as close as “it” gets.
                As the movie’s epigram noted:
                “Nothing vast
                enters the life of mortals
                w/o a curse”. – Sophocles
                Which reminds me of another “curse”:
                Down the Rabbit Hole, so to speak
