I've never really given them much thought. I suspect they're trying to use words that will make it seem real. I don't think they're reading, but like a spam filter probably have key words they pick up on? Also if people have the settings such that they get an email when they have a post, they'll only a portion and if it starts out complimentary, changes are pretty good the person will click approve, right there in their email without reading the rest of the comment to know it's garbage they've just added to their blog.Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13141251905909903805noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925412579189247293.post-83958991760972235892018-12-05T09:44:44.595-08:002018-12-05T09:44:44.595-08:00I try ;)I try ;)Liz A.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16531953467834426316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925412579189247293.post-30148502072036698422018-12-05T09:44:34.541-08:002018-12-05T09:44:34.541-08:00My point here was that these comments don't ha...My point here was that these comments don't have the requisite website attached.

We see that in Gmail, where we get suggested one-line replies, after the algorithm figures out questions in the sender's email. <br /><br />If we get such bot-triggered comments, it will be hard for us to figure out if it's sent by bot or not. Because the critique might look quite genuine. And if the comment has a link to virus-infected websites, we might get tempted to click (thinking the comment is from a genuine source), and we might have unpleasant consequences, like the computer getting infected. Doesn't look like a rosy scenario, at least from what I can understand.Pradeep Nairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04873369124947878452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8925412579189247293.post-71688561299800442712018-12-05T06:14:35.586-08:002018-12-05T06:14:35.586-08:00Then maybe they are learning something!

Maybe one of the bots might break its programming and go rogue, leaving comments with preposterous insults.
