In January, Christina Ausset, a 24-year-old Maroon 5fan in France, spotted an enticing Twitter post from another of the band’s followers: “I just had a conversation with Maroon 5! Awesome!”
The interaction, it turned out, had been conducted onFacebookMessenger withMaroon 5’s chatbot — an automated program designed to respond to basic commands. Not exactly a conversation with Adam Levine, Ms. Ausset noted, but it didn’t matter. She now happily talks to the bot, too.
