Listens to Baroque while coding murder.exe :newt: (nprofile…cext) Jezza™ (nprofile…rjk0) University of Zurich ran a chatbot on r/ChangeMyView and found machine generated content can be more persuasive in changing people's opinions than human written content.
Because it was tailoring replies to people's post histories and demographic information (age, sex, race, religion, etc).
Reported in a lot of places because it was considered unethical and done without Reddit users' consent.
