Where are the Good Bots?

Publish Date: Oct 17 '23
9 7

Hey all 👋

Before I start, I want to mention, take this as a thought experiment, and jump in with an open mind. I'm coming from a place of empathy here; it may be naive to ask this, but my intentions are in the right place.

So, if the social media platforms are filled with evil bots, mostly doing harmless stuff, but in conflicts, they can be weaponized. Let's assume social media platforms can get overwhelmed tracking them all.

So, where are the good(unbiased) bots?

    OOOo good topic, Sarthak!

    Not gonna lie, I was rootin' for the ElonJet bot. I'm not so sure this is a good bot, but it's a fun one, haha. 😆

    When they're good, we don't pay as much attention to them.

    Like good CGI in a movie doesn't look like CGI.

    There's a huge amount of bots on social media apps behind the scenes doing things like content moderation, etc.

    I think a good bot is one which is barely noticeable. Carrying out its work as expected. without causing any disruptions. Hence, if we follow this logic, only the bad ones will be in the limelight
