You don't have to take Makin's word for it, Drewbot's resemblance to me is both fascinating and eerie. I've seen examples of AI being used to impersonate people before, but nothing drives it home like having it done to you.
I didn't really know anything about the technical aspects of making this work until reading this article though, it makes me appreciate the effort all the more. Makin likes to tell people to learn to code constantly, and I think he may genuinely perceive it as being easy enough for anyone to pick this stuff up, but it's beyond me. Maybe programmers WILL rule the world eventually.
I honestly think that, if you took a random sampling of posts from me and Drewbot and asked people to tell which is which, they would be stumped. Then again, Drewbot is much funnier than I am, so perhaps it wouldn't be that hard.
There's actually an Imgur link containing Drewbot's "best-of" responses, but I'll refrain from posting it here in case Makin is afraid of all of those spicy responses from before he beat the offensiveness out of it. It's freely accessible on the Discord mentioned in the article though, just ask and we'll point you towards it if you're interested.
He'll make you read his shill list in return, but that's not such a bad trade.
