Are you exhausted, too busy to bother or just plain old
don’t feel like taking the time to post something on your Facebook status?
Don’t fret! There’s a new app available that will post
things on your behalf. The "What would I say?"
app apparently reviews what you posted in the past using a Markov
Bot
and then generates a status update by predicting what you’re likely to say.
I don’t know about you, but it sounds kind of cold and
methodical to me. Personally, I really don’t like anyone predicting what I’m
going to say, much less a Bot, whether it’s Markov or some other one.
On the plus side, if anyone ever takes offense to one of
your status updates, you can simply say, “I didn’t’ write it, it was my app!”
This might get a whole lot of celebrities and sports athletes out of trouble.
Hmmm, maybe that is who the app creators are marketing this to."
This might be a strange thought, but if you truly don’t feel
like doing a status update on Facebook, how about you just don’t post one. This
would seem to be the simplest answer to the age old question, “To post, or not
to post.”
I’m curious,
would you consider using the “What would I say app?”? Why or why not? And
please be a person responding and not an app.
