Chatbot Wears Down Proponents of Anti-Science Nonsense Link

From the MIT Technology Review:

Every five minutes, it searches twitter for several hundred set phrases that tend to correspond to any of the usual tired arguments about how global warming isn’t happening or humans aren’t responsible for it.

I don’t understand the point.

Arguing with people that clearly do not believe in science will produce no viable fruit. A better approach may be to search for Tweets that are asking for information about various theories or data sets and provide links. Those are the ones that can be positively influences.
