'I was kinda heartbroken.' After a year of playing the online game 'Words with Friends,' Benjamin Arnet learned his longtime opponent, Maria T., was a bot.
Like others starved for human contact, Benjamin Arnet and Maria T. met online.
Then Mr. Arnet learned Maria wasn’t being straight with him. An online post revealed a list of usernames that allegedly belonged not to people but to software programs known as bots. Among the suspects: Maria T.
Donna Martinez, a 60-something “Words with Friends” fan and sewage worker in Salt Lake City, said she has become suspicious of opponents with glamorous profile photos. Bots, she said, are “always good-looking.”Photo:Whenever she believes she is playing a bot, she blocks the suspect after finishing the match. “The bots won’t ever answer you,” Ms. Martinez said. “I like to chat with folks.”
Silence is a dead giveaway, said Mr. Young, 58. He recently concluded that five or so of his 15 regular opponents are guided by artificial intelligence. “That was a very 21st-century moment,” he said. Another distinction, Mr. Perry said: You play a high-scoring word and some people accuse you of cheating. With bots, he said, “you don’t have to worry about that.”Emma Perry
