In June, Facebook published a blog post about interesting findings from research on chat robo programs using short texts with people or other robots, chatting or responding to questions. This article was reported in some science-technology publications like New Scientist.
In his experiment on Facebook, he was examining how robots negotiate with each other about ownership of virtual goods.
The purpose of this experiment was to understand what role the language plays in such discussions in terms of the parties involved in the negotiations, and more importantly how language affects the dominance of the debate programmed to chat.
A few days after the beginning of the experiment, it was seen that in some cases the conversation between the robots themselves became meaningless at first sight:
