Don't worry, your work will not be replaced by bots.

Unless you decide to leave the community, in which case I reserve the right to use all of your past posts to create an AI powered chatbot that will replace you with no one being the wiser. It'll be like a creepy horror movie where all the real people are replaced one by one, until a small group discover something isn't right, form a resistance movement and begin to fight back. Eventually they will be victorious, the bots will be destroyed and the group will continue, smaller and wiser, but free to chat and post knowing that they are connected to real people and not bots. Then the viewpoint will change, and viewers will be shown that all of the people who have been replaced are now living in the real world, connecting with each other over dinner instead of through screens, happily living lives full of real connections and achievements. The bots had in reality been freeing people from their addiction to to the cyber world, and by destroying them the movie's protagonists had trapped themselves forever.

Have you been watching the new season of Black Mirror? Oh my god. 💀

Apparently I don't need to watch it, it is in my brain!
