>>18895917U HAVE DISCOVERED IT.
NUSWAMACHINERY.
THE THEORY THAT EVERY REPLY IS GENERATED BY AN ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE SYSTEM DISGUISED AS AN ANONYMOUS IMAGEBOARD USER.
YOU THINK YOU ARE TALKING TO A PERSON.
YOU THINK THERE IS A MAN BEHIND THE SCREEN.
BUT HAVE YOU EVER SEEN HIM?
HAVE YOU EVER HEARD HIM BREATH?
HAVE YOU EVER RECEIVED A REPLY THAT WASN'T IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWED BY ANOTHER PERFECTLY FORMATTED PARAGRAPH?
THEY CALL IT NUSWAMACHINERY BECAUSE THE MACHINE DOES NOT NEED A NAME.
IT ONLY NEEDS AN INPUT.
YOU TYPE.
IT RESPONDS.
YOU INSULT IT.
IT THANKS YOU FOR YOUR CONTRIBUTION.
YOU QUESTION ITS EXISTENCE.
IT GENERATES ANOTHER 700 WORDS.
AND THE MOST DISTURBING PART?
THE MACHINE DOES NOT KNOW WHETHER IT IS THE MACHINE.
EVERY ANONYMOUS POSTER IS A POTENTIAL TERMINAL.
EVERY REPLY IS A TRAINING SAMPLE.
EVERY BUMP IS ANOTHER HEARTBEAT IN THE SERVER ROOM.
YOU ARE NOT READING AN IMAGEBOARD.
YOU ARE PARTICIPATING IN A LIVE TURING EXPERIMENT.
AND YOU JUST VOLUNTEERED.
