That the many in Google did not erupt in utter panic and disgust at the first suggestion of this... is incredible to me. What of Google's famed discussion boards? What are you all discussing if not this?!?! This is horrible and so obviously wrong. SO OBVIOUSLY WRONG. *headdesk*

"It's just a demo" people aren't getting the full scale of problems. Also Google putting a bot identifier at the beginning of call doesn't solve the many problems.https://twitter.com/getaclue_1/status/994918625906700289 …

I'll Turing Test it. "So what did you think of the NBA playoffs last night?" Or "Stormy Daniels affair"? It will go "hmmm haaa, can I have another scoop of ice cream"...

It's creepy, more than anything. We're sliding downhill into the uncanny valley, and we're going to go crazy.

Oh it’s not that bad — it’s just those misunderstood boys looking for ways to replace the functionality that mom provided before she kicked them out of her basement.

Loading seems to be taking a while.
Twitter may be over capacity or experiencing a momentary hiccup. Try again or visit Twitter Status for more information.
if it is but they have a direction where they want to be (it will be easier for them to go through social and see what ppl want to actually use this for)
