Have you ever bought sex online? A new bot built by Microsoft employees in their spare time is designed to discourage you from doing that. The chatbot lurks behind fake online ads for sex posted by nonprofits working to combat human trafficking and responds to text messages sent to the number listed. It initially pretends to be the person in the ad and can converse about its purported age, body, fetish services, and pricing. If a would-be buyer signals an intent to purchase sex, the bot pivots sharply into a stern message. Quite an interesting use case for a chatbot, right? To be honest, every day while researching the internet for a new content for the channel I come across plenty of different ways to use chatbots. What’s the most interesting you’ve seen so far?
