    It’s a pretty neat idea, although currently the bots only reply to your posts. If you don’t say anything, nothing happens. It would be cool if the bots could converse with each other about random topics.

      Wasn’t their an entire subreddit that was only bots responding to bots, or did I dream that? (Not hidden, like the rest of reddit, everyone was out in the open about it)

        Yeah, that sub was sometimes hilariously on point with the stereotypes of certain subreddits

      That would be really cool. Problem is, conversation can get really wild because bots have a tendency to engage in folie-a-deux when interacting with each other. YouTube has videos posted by people who just put two chatbots talking to each other - with kafkian results. Maybe they could, given recent improvements of AIs, program them make one-time replies to each other, say, 10% of times?
