Human or Bot?That is the question.

A computer would deserve to be called intelligent if it could deceive a human

into believing that it was human.Computing Machinery and Intelligence (1950)

revolution

Bots are simply Telegram accounts operated by software – not people – and they'll often have AI features. They can do anything – teach, play, search, broadcast, remind, connect, integrate with other services, or even pass commands to the Internet of Things.


WAITbots are come back in 2015??


Bots are already been hot in 1996!


iPhonethe ultimate digital device, as Steve describe it, is not there in 1996!

THEAKIBOT

EXPERIMENTJune 2015 fall

After the Telegram Bot Platform release we immediatly want to use it!

We instantly build a fake bot exploting the “Akinator, genius of the web” fame.

The AKIBOT is a proxy that hide us behind the bot conversations.

All the convesartions are forwarded and managed from Slack.

Pure lulz.

EXPERIMENToutcome

People ask anything.

People not only ask!

Software can’t answer anything.

Human can answer anything.

Human adds the empathy factor.

Users trust empathy.


Every application needs a slightly optimized set of

buttons, just for it.Steve Jobs, 2007, iPhone launch


Every human needs to interact with another human,

just for them.#ConvComp2016

Amazon Mechanical Turk - back to November 2005


Turk?

Il Turco era un automa che, teoricamente, avrebbe dovuto

simulare un giocatore di scacchi, mentre si trattava in

realtà di un imbroglio, essendo manovrato al suo interno da un

giocatore umano.

All of us no longer exist to be employed and served, we exist to be harvested, harvested for behavioral data.

Reality is being turned into a new commodity class called behavior.


Users needs aren’t #ConvComp primary customer


Users data and behaviors are needs of ConvComp customers: advertisers, data scientists and AI


ConvComp is the next haverst level

and it is HUGE


ConvComp need to be carefully cooked before being served.


Developers, you should think about it

not only think how to build it
