    That's my point, the bot uses all available information on the internet and then draws it's own conclusions. It simply combines sources.

    I'm sure that if you knew how it handled web chatter and had ten million reliable persons each submitting some sort of clue or thread of speculation about say 2030 the bot would predict a new apocalypse in that very year.

    The bot doesn't work as an independent source but is an information gatherer, only if the available information is correct or has some sort of plausibility will the prediction be of any interest.

    No it doesnt. It seeks out key words. It doesnt go into history and compare things. It is in no way connected to the other two.

    PS there are many more predictions from other sources that 2112 is the end.

    based it's prediction on "web chatter" which ultimately represents the collective unconscious of society.

    Maybe it did what the CIA didn't prior to 9/11 and listened to Al Quaida chatting about their plans.
