I don’t really have a problem with a AI asking questions, if the goal is to generate “human” engagement.

Here me out:

I built a bot (back in Slack when we had slack communities) that asked “questions of the day”. It was all copied/pasted questions from the internet like “What’s the right way to hold a taco?” or “Do you wash behind your ears?” Just silly things.

And the discussions were AMAZING. I learned so many random stories and really bonded with people.

AI/bot/ whatever. The prompt is a prompt.
