      @kierongillen thanks for this: been a lot of talk about the ethical responsibilities of botmakers, and this is basically where i've ended up

    @kierongillen i phrase it differently, though (partly to reinforce the idea that botmakers are authors of their bot's contents) ...

      @kierongillen (which is a point you need to make) -- i say : "you can make a bot that does anything, but you have to take responsibility"

        @kierongillen i guess the difference is : you say artists don't have a responsibility to do particular things.

          @kierongillen vs: artists can't avoid responsibility for the impact their works have on the world. even if they didn't think about it.
