And they are distracting and annoying. I will list below ones who I think are bots, and please add names if you recognize more of them. Please avoid taking potshots at people you disagree with.

freespeak, oil, sftech, kover likely are bots.

Why would anyone bother to take the time to make bots just to put them on Patnet? Don't they know we're all mindless drones?

Best place to test them out since they resemble certain patnetters :)

kover


Bot or troll farmer? For example, this comment is copied and pasted and appears in many places around the WWW, e.g. here. It doesn't take sophisticated programming to do that. An average teenager could do it, or a troll farmer.

troll farmer


First time heard that term, thanks. And these trolls do seem to operate like Russian troll farm, where everything American is bad.

It's embarrassing when a troll farmer does you better than you.

Even more embarrassing is when some Patnetters enthusiastically agree with bots and fail Turing test themselves :)

Interesting how "otto" arrived to push NPVIC, copying and pasting comments promoting it, and then disappeared when caught copying and pasting.

Seems that our trolls have now disappeared as well.

We can only hope..... I think some are still around.

kover has been deleted. Definitely a bot.

The bots are getting more sophisticated, but still can't seem to hold a conversation.

Maybe a troll farmer who can't speak English?

Probably. I'd say they'd need to be able to read it is the problem though. They never answer a damn thing when asked a question. Not that the response would be worth reading.

HEYYOU is a bot as well


Absolutely not, at least in a classical sense. But https://patrick.net/user/WillPowers is a bot who for some reason started following me after I opened this thread.

Hey You doesn't have a position on anything but is angry about everything.

If you confront bots by saying your father was a toaster, do they too explode like in that one Simpsons SJW episode?

You are all just brains in a jar sharing a group delusion.
