AND, I'm going to go so far as to say this to the author of the bots, who I know is scanning this because their curiosity would be great to see how well his toys fooled all of us (or what effect they had on the share price).
You need to add some NLP interpretation to the bots. It is just about as easy to read the response postings via code as it is to post new ones. There are plenty of shareware NLP modules out there. Add one to your software so you can get a sense of what real people are saying to your bots, so they can issue some sort of response to them... Even if you just take an excerpt of what was written by a human poster, repeat part of it, and then issue one of your autonomic phrases. Can you do that? Come on, you put so much work into the automatic posting, do a little more and make them more sentient. Even Alexa sometimes sounds like she is human.
THEN re-run them and truly make this ticker move. Please?
