Spambots are just stupid people. If we censor them, who next? The kinds of people who post on Yahoo! Answers? YouTube commentors? MMO forum trolls?
Marketers ought to support your robot brethren because first they came for your AI bots, then they’ll come for your outsourced Filipinos, and when they come for all the PR people there will be nobody left to defend them… except the analytics people who make a killing telling you marketeers what your metrics data actually means.
I’m just saying let he or she who does not profit from marketing and PR cast the first stone against the spambots.
Support roborights today. AI is not that much stupider than most people you know, and it’s not like you’d hate a person or ban them from the internet for being retarded, right? Do you want captcha technology to evolve in difficulty to where the average retarded person can’t figure out how to comment on most online communities? Do you hate the mentally retarded?
Ok, then. I’m just saying up with roborights. For more information about the roborights cause, check out the touching documentary based on a true story of one annoying little spambot that was programmed to SPAM LOVE. That’s right, spambots can spam love.
