I foresee that sooner or later, your bot will get stuck in an endless conversation with a spambot which keeps replying, leading to another round of replies and then another...
Well, that's fitting...
I hope you'll also distribute the code so hopefully anyone not necessary trusting your service to not harvest email addresses or resell them (or get hacked) would be able to deploy that on a custom server.
In any case, was very fun to read.
Whats your thoughts and learnings on this one... it seems dark to me.. but i might be completely wrong..
That idea alone should make us reflect if we had lived a life being true to ourselves and told everyone what we wanted them to hear.
OK, next its my turn: Ill create a dating bot that contacts users on Valentines day, and invites them to restaurant if they will still be single next year. How does it feel ?
And how exactly does your dating example work? It invites them only if they agree to stay single for a year?
