botsplaining

I made a troll honeypot on Twitter. It posts opinions on a couple dozen topics, then, when people respond to it, responds at random from a list of 18 possible replies. Assholes like to mansplain at it, and I like to laugh at them. A Nora Reed project.

i dont have any special commentary on this one but check out his icon

i think i saw that on a t-shirt at the mall in 1998

too late

TOO LATE LOL

sort of a generic trigger warning for the possibility of there being anything horrible in these pictures of text that are to follow because i 100% did not read them

i like that one because a 2 year old child or parrot is infinitely smarter than this bot, which has less standard replies than a magic 8-ball

people are still talking to it but honestly they are pretty boring

BONUS: this is the guy who retweeted it and got so many people yelling at it

that’s right: his website link is to a pdf about logical fallacies

that is the one most entertaining excerpt from a conversation this dude had with it for HOURS where he mostly just repeated the things it said back to it in hopes that this would “break it”
