[alicebot-aiethics] Computers vs. stock brokers/analysts ...

[Richard Wallace]

Journalists love to interview ALICE, because she can create content for an
entire column without the need for the reporter to contact any human.  I can
easily imagine that the toughest part of a journalist's job is dealing with
all the human egos and hidden agendas out there, so dealing with a robot
must be a pleasure.  Not only that, we are still at a point where cutting &
pasting a conversation with ALICE is "news" in itself, so the articles
basically write themselves.

Fast forward to Election 2004.   Journalists can interview the intern bot
indefinitely.  The intern bot is directly available to more journalists in
real time than 10,000 Monica Lewinskys would be.  The journalists can probe
and probe, looking for every subtle variation of her response.  Easier than
interviewing real people, and just as juicy.
