Human Bots
Thursday, November 12th, 2009Now that we have all these algorithms that try to detect if comments left on a blog are made by bots impersonating humans, I wonder if they’re sophisticated enough to detect humans emulating bots.…
When I get the time, I’m going to perform an experiment, the anti-Turing test of sorts. I’m going to leave comments on various sites that sound like bots, but are, in fact, me. (I’m mostly human, by the way.) The goal of the experiment would be to get them marked as spam. Of course, the crucial thing is that these should be comments relevant to the post, not real spam.
