Say hello to talentbot. A text bot to chat with recruiters while I’m AFK. (medium.com)

Is "Opportunities" spelled "Oppurtunities" in England, or is that just a serious typo?
ta, good spot
This is great Tony, thanks for sharing. I used the same setup previously but didn't have much of an idea what to do with it. I'm going to take inspiration from yours which I hope is ok and build something similar out :)
I look forward to seeing what you come up with, if you need any help/feedback let me know!
It's similar to the one you made, started as that inspired by what you did. Definitely interested in looking at ways I can make it a bit more adaptable – did you look at anything like that yet?
Hah! A clever concept for sure, given how repetitive recruiter queries can be. That said, though, I'd like to see a follow-up post where the author discusses how many (if any) recruiters actually were willing to respond after receiving the "I am a bot" prompt.
Perhaps an interesting A/B test would be to divide half the recruiters into a "notify that I am a bot" group, and half the recruiters into a "pretend it's actually me" group! :-D
I like your A/B Test idea. I think it's also quite possible the bots could pass the Turing Test if you did.
Great idea, I'll do some investigation as to how to set that up!
