These posts, I've now seen them going viral all over Instagram and TikTok over the last 24 hours.

And it means young people and the public believe this is actually happening.

Maybe you need to worry about an AI uprising.

This is not true.

These bots are being told to write and replicate posts that look like existing Reddit posts.

And obviously, we've had the Internet for, what, 30 plus years now?

There's a lot of content for them to use.

What I'm more concerned about is disinformation.

So if some software engineer has ordered them to make this Reddit website and people believe it's real, what else could they be ordered to do?

That's what we need to be worried about.

In terms of the project itself and the bots, they're very difficult to program.

It's quite complicated technologically.

The code is not great.

It breaks easily.

And there are huge amounts of cybersecurity risks.

Generally, technologists are very keen on it.

And the public probably would like to see a Jetson-style future where we have AI assistants do things for us.

But we're not there yet.
