So there has been all this talk about the destructive influence of bad bots on Steemit. Like ones that just downvote you the whole time. I would hate for a bot to downvote me the whole time. You know what I mean? But what if we can't find the bad bots and eliminate them. Maybe that is what our strategy has been up to now. Why don't we invent good bots that neutralize the bad ones. Maybe copy what they do in the other direction so that the net effect is zero. Just thinking aloud here.

I think I may have gotten the idea from a movie, not sure. Like imagine if there were bad bots who looked like robocop and they went around killing people. Like an army of killer bots developed by some dictator. And then they are like almost invincible. But the reason they are so good is also because they have some kind of artificial intelligence. And the AI is like programmed into them with really advanced software.
And then to fight them you can't just use regular soldiers because they are programmed and taught to easily beat humans. Why? Because they are designed to fight humans. And things operated by humans. Like planes or ships or whatever. But if you can make a robot with similarly advanced Artificial Intelligence, which then is able to NOT react like a human, then you can take those evil killer robots out. Either that or you need some soldiers with seriously high levels of emotional fortitude (I got that term from a portfolio manager at a large asset management firm here in SA when I talked to him about what makes a good asset manager).
An example from the world of chess
Like in chess, they had this champion computer that I think wiped everyone out for a long time. Then one guy figured out how to beat it. But the way he did it was he made moves that the computer did not expect. So the computer was really good at recognising and responding to established patterns of play.

These were the patterns that they inventors programmed into it. But one guy thought... what if you surprised it (by bringing in something left field - that just means out of the box in MBA lingo, which means something unexpected or different in English), they freak out a little. These computers. These computers start freaking out. They don't like it. If you can say a computer freaks out about something.
The Internet of Things
Have you heard of IOTA (Internet of Things). There is apparently a CC based on it. It is all about how things get seriously automated. Where like you even subject living things like plants to automation. They tell you when they need water. Yes you heard right. Or they tell a machine or robot that they need water. And then the other machine gives them water. Machines talking to machines. Robots talking to robots.
What You Didn't Know About The Imitation Game
Kind of like figuring out the enemy's communication codes. Have you seen that move The Imitation Game with the actor whose last name is Cumberbatch. Where he figures out the Germans' codes in WW II? So in the same way you figure out the communication codes of the robots and then either hack it and make them destroy each other, or surprise them by doing things that they don't expect.
Like I'm sure that's probably what that one chess player did who was able to beat the computer. He studied the computer's software and programming and stuff.
