Twitter has a #AI and #bots problem : it's rejecting them blindly!
Strangely, while everyone is seeing that smart bots, chatbots and AI are the future and most platforms are opening the doors to new user interactions and experiences with chatbots (slack!, Facebook!), Twitter seems to be blindly looking backwards by agressively refusing to let the bots in the platform; although a well-made, well filtered bot can be a very useful source of information. Am I saying that all bots are good for twitter? Of course not, especially the ones that are basically spamming engines and are build to follow thousands of people automatically, etc. But what about smart, AI-driven bots that try to act as a newswire, or a good newsletter sending updated to their followers?
