AI bots duking it out

Bookmarked The Future of Fashion Commerce Is a Designer’s AI Bot Saying You Look Great and Your Personal AI Bot Sifting Through the Bullshit | Hunter Walk.

From there it’s each of our bots competing to jailbreak the other into a hallucination or non-standard response that’s disadvantaged to the entity it’s representing.

My big fear isn't that Hunter's right. I'm sure he is. But I fear he's underestimating the scope of the issue/inevitable dystopia when he frames it in the concept of commerce.

I fear communication at large will be abstracted in a similar fashion. AI bots emailing each other, AI bots writing documents and documentation, other AI bots synthesising and providing abstracts, AI avatars attending meetings and so forth, and so on.

But now that I think about it, maybe that wouldn't be all bad? Maybe it'll give us all more time to just hang out and shoot the shit.
