"The bots' responses lacked nutrients or human messiness," wrote Lauren Goode at Wired, who understandably had a hard time 'placing value or meaning' on the AI-generated responses.
Sayman may not have intended Social.AI as a work of barbed tech criticism, but it works as one. Nominally human social networks are already filled with bots and people who act like bots.
SocialAI isn't a joke or an artistic critique of the AI era. It is, according to its founder and sole employee, Michael Sayman, 'the culmination of everything I've been thinking about.'
Isn't this where we're headed anyway? If SocialAI's inadvertent critiques don't really bite, however, it's because the app is too boring.
