message boards soon obsolete?

The legitimate object of government, is to do for a community of people, whatever they need to have done, but can not do, at all, or can not, so well do, for themselves -- in their separate, and individual capacities.

What do the miners do when the canary dies? EVACUATE THE MINE not argue about the color of it's feathers or buy a parrot instead.
Where is my pitchfork and torch? I need them for a visit to the castle!

That's what I thought, except these two participants were slightly better informed about the world around them.

After the singularity..
We'll have to pass a law banning AI from posting on forums. Otherwise it will be a nightmare.. anyone with money and an agenda will unleash propaganda bots. Fully intelligent software, able to have conversations, manipulate people, spin information.. imagine big oil setting loose chatbots on every forum to out-debate anyone opposed to a pipeline or whatever.
Unfortunately, our SCOTUS will rule that bots are people too inasmuch as corporations are -- all the freedoms, but not none of the responsibilities.
