I run a forum that offers support for entrepreneurs.
Since November, I’ve created @Robolivier, a friendly AI robot that helps users when they mention him. He also replies to every new topics once in hopes of providing the user with a satisfactory answer. I’ve added a disclaimer to each of his messages.
So far, the users have been finding it amusing and useful most of the time.
I plan to train him on my own interactions on the forum, we’ll see how that will go.
Since it’s a paid forum, bots are not an issue for me. But I can see how an open & free forum could get spammed into irrelevance.
