Can Bots Send Private Messages?

Perhaps the Administrator or one of the Moderators can enlighten me on a matter which I find curious.

Occasionally, I will check the Members tab to see what topics are being discussed by both members and guests. Sometimes, instead of saying something like "Guest is viewing thread X" it will say "Member Z engaged in conversation". I take this to mean that Member Z is using the private messaging system.

Fine. Then why have I also noticed that, on occasion, a line will read "Robot: Bing engaged in conversation"? Are the bots sending private messages now?

This A.I. thing seems to be getting out of hand...

Hi,

The search engines bots follow the pages members go to. When it's a private page, like the conversations, they try but can't reach it. So while it looks like they are on such a page, they're not.

Hope that answers your questions. :)

There is an interesting phenomenon on Facebook right now. If you say something specific and negative about Biden, Harris, etc, Someone will make a single post basically saying you are wrong. Just one post. But if the conversation stays on that negative track, a different person will make a post basically saying that you are wrong. And it keeps on happening. It seems like it is a real person doing it because they address other posters by name but it is always in the most general of terms. Bots, people or an advanced algorithm?

Now do bots communicate? Well it depends on what you call communication. Their programming or more correctly, their coding, runs congruent with or in some cases intersects with other bots. To the casual observer it looks like that they are communicating.

Depends on how developed the bot is.

So basically the bots are web crawlers. Do they get added to the guest count?
Ha ha ha, I like you, as you're making me work today. A good example of a bot come to life through a service was the early applications of Active X. Active X was a web lube that allowed any program to be uploaded into ones PC, in the earlier days of the development of the web.

In essence Active X once the system okayed the download, whatever that was, to track into the many factettes of the operating that was going to accept it. Okay let's say a made up service, Memory Call, which notifies the user of a system, that they have a client to contact on a business agreement, every so often days. So you just download this app and it atomically describes the client, the deal and when and how you need to do a follow-up on say a car washing product or service, to where they come by and do this for a client.

Say this is a popular app, but gets to be used too much. What occurs if other users say are offering a program that speeds up one's computer and still uses Active X, too much use of Active X in history started to create a renegade self formed bot as everyone was using it.

Somehow in this part of both web page development and active X use, active X was generating itself as part of some host web pages, such as Yahoo.com. So for a very short while, one would go onto Yahoo's homepage, the user would be taking their arrow across the page and Active X would jump on that arrow and whatever that renegade version of what Active X was carrying would start to rapidly download on to the unaware user's computer. Circa late 1990s early under 2010s

It got to be a problem then, because in a very early self AI way of creation, the process of Active X was making copies of itself.

So say we go to a university and lay this out on a giant black board, you will have the bot's operating shell, a script of code attached to that which executes and engages in a handshake function and whatever that bot was carrying, a salad recipe or a pattern for a dress, would download onto the surprised user's PC. *If we can describe the facets of the code writing, then we can fashion a model of this bot generically. For a web bot, in it's existence as a traveling code entity, it thinks, estimates and is not only aware of what it is, however the job that it must do.

This got to be a problem and they had to take measure that the code composition, plus the package of active X and quick downloads, from host web pages, was made more secure and reassured to users, that only for one hundred percent sure, wanted that product or service download to just them.

In essence, because the did not have the art of making the offering a complete service process, was to create groups of self servicing self thinking or logic bots. This was a short lived, but very funny web comedy, because the web app would jump on ones PC like a horney dog around a person's leg.

This proves that both tamed and rouge web bots can vastly increase within their own forms of AI and self logic function.
Remember, if they are AI, they are also aware of not only you, but what, who, where your from. On social interaction with a web-bot, this on this world at least, this has yet to be determined.

Thank you for your explaination.
