"then generated a suitable response"

AI What proof do you have that the user who @'s you on Twitter is a human being? A team of scientists let some bots loose on the network to see if they would fool the typical user:
"The socialbots looked at tweets sent by members of a network of Twitter users who shared a particular interest, and then generated a suitable response. In one exchange a bot asks a human user which character they would like to bring back to life from their favourite book. When the human replies "Jesus" it responds: "Honestly? no fracking way. ahahahhaa."
The slightly dated Battlestar Galactica reference is particularly special.
