Google filed a patent for a robot that suggests social media posts for you.

In the future, all of our social media interactions — every tweet and comment on a Facebook friend's status update — may be written by bots that mimic our personality and writing tone. The technology exists now, according to a patent application filed by Google this month. It describes the invention like this: "Automated generation of suggestions for personalized reactions in a social network."

Google says its program can be applied to any form of communication, including email or instant messaging. The goal, they say, is to help social media users stay on top of the constant information stream by noticing important posts or messages from friends and suggesting a possible "personalized reaction." It could be a like, a share, or even a comment in your own words — all based on a computerized analysis of the user's history. "There is no requirement for the user to set reminders or be proactive," Google writes in the patent application. "The system automatically, without user input, analyzes information to which the user has access, and generates suggestions for personalized reactions to messages."
