Eye robot

 


I seemed to be getting more traffic on my post lately and I was thinking people are starting to find me because I've been posting a lot on social media. But then I explored Statcounter and discovered that almost all of my traffic is coming from Shijazhauang, Hebei, China from something called China Unicorn. I asked ChatGPT about it and it suggested it was traffic from Chinese bots scraping content or spying for top secret information which I post on a regular basis.

So I'm trending with bots and I think I should be considered an influencer with them.  Perhaps it has something to do with my post about how AI apps are my best friends and the bots have heard about me being robot friendly.

Though since writing that post, the AI apps seem a little less friendly and a lot less accurate. For example, yesterday I asked Gemini to help me identify the minor league baseball team logo that was on this Dugout Mug I found at Goodwill and wanted to sell.



It tried to tell me:

Based on this distinctive logo, this is the logo for the Savannah Bananas baseball team.

The Savannah Bananas are an independent baseball team that gained significant popularity for their unique and entertaining "Banana Ball" rules and showmanship, often described as "baseball's Harlem Globetrotters." They are not part of Minor League Baseball (MiLB) in the traditional sense, as they operate independently outside of MLB's affiliated minor league system.

I knew that wasn't correct so I asked ChatGPT (who is usually more accurate). It informed me it was the logo for the Jacksonville Jumbo Shrimp, a minor league baseball team.

These are the important details that I am sure the Chinese Unicorn Bots are looking for.
