Future AI = End of botting?

Botting will only improve.

The more google, yelp, linkedin, facebook, twitter, and other companies roll out patches and close out vulnerabilities, the more coders/script kiddies will work to find even more ways to game those systems.
 
Botting will only improve.

To some extend - yes, bots have to adapt to stay relevant/work. Though it is getting harder and harder to prevent bots from being blocked, and everyone working in this industry are aware.
Five years ago writing a bot that would pass Facebook's, or Google's security were a piece of cake. Now there are annoying phone verifications, captcha v3, mouse movement simulation, "sensible" text generation, and many more to worry about.

They can also use geolocation data to determine how often the user is moving around. A real user on tinder is not going to stay in the same place all the time, they will be accessing it at different locations. Geolocation along with demographic data can be used to determine if there are an unnatural number of accounts in a certain area.

More countries are requiring ID in order to get a sim card

As AI becomes a reality, so will be smarter botting (probably AI based as well).
 
It's still to early to reason that AI will make boting go away as both sides will definitely develop over time, irrespectively of one another.
 
Ai will be integrated into the bot too so it will always work
 
Im also concerned about this.. But i think its a cat and mouse game. There will always be people who will try to cheat the system and thats good hhaha:)
 
It already exists its just hard to implement it properly and at a large scale for huge users bases which social media companies also have. It always be hard to implement because at the end of the day there is still a human at the other side that made it.
 
It's all evolving.
If one side is equipped with AI, bots will also be equipped with AI.
 
I feel like they are on a pinch already since zuck asks for so much personal information on fb. Although on instagram they kinda killing it. Literally, the accounts i mean. Ah the good old days!
 
No, at that time we will have ai as bot. so it's a match which one smarter
 
i think the bot will be upgraded to work by AI
however, is there any products in such technique in the market now?
 
Still have many years to go but yes AI could put a dent in the botting industry.
 
Do you think that when some day, Artificial Intelligence becomes much more intelligent than any human and also self-aware,
botting will get impossible?
Because then they could scale those AI instances up and make them review and Check every account 24/7 manually

Or do you think botting will adapt and also use AI to combat that? :D
Like a cat and mouse game haha
No. Where there's a barrier, there's always way to bypass it. Sure, it may not be legal sometimes, but it works.
 
What people often don't get: As AI gets easier to use, so it gets easier to use it for botting. Even today you could create a bot which is so natural that AI has a hard time to detect it.

My prediction: Botting will stay, it gets just more expensive and more eclusive.

How do you know a lot of (smaller) profiles you follow aren't advanced bots already?

No, its isnt :)
