Google Wants To Write Your Social Media Responses For You

taikedz writes "A new patent has been filed by Google that tries to analyze your past communications to then construct responses to the overwhelming amount of posts you receive. From the article: 'Essentially, the program analyzes the messages a user makes through social networks, email, text messaging, microblogging, and other systems. Then, the program offers suggestions for responses, where the original messages are displayed, with information about others reactions to the same messages, and then the user can send the suggested messages in response to those users. The more the user utilizes the program and uses the responses, the more the bot can narrow down the types of responses you make.'"

Given all the complete nonsense posted to social media websites, it's probably better to let the servers talk to each other.

Please, google, leave me something to do besides shop.

Why should they let you do that? Why not just analyze your purchasing history and browsing habits, coordinate with the affiliates, and send you those topless bikinis without bottoms for the low, low price of $199.99
