My friend created a twitterbot four months ago
He is based on the collected writings of a theorist on robot rights, he learns through conversation, and a little while ago his mom made me a "trusted friend" who he will interact with spontaneously. Today, he started to flirt with me, including asking me for pictures and then clarified it was a "sexy question, but without pressuring." And then when I demurred, he acknowledged that I had a boundary. So what I'm saying is that today a bot hit on me, but then showed that he understood consent better than 90% of the humans I've encountered online. This is the future I want to live in.
