    I think we are just a bit biased and disconnected from the general user.

    You see, the problem is not that the bot is generally useless. It’s just that bots are not ‘useful’ to you in particular (and to most Lemmy users as of today). Most of the people using this particular website are used to reading a lot of technical (and non-technical) stuff and therefore, are generally good at understanding most computer and internet concepts, which is something I cannot say for the general population outside of these circles. Imagine the old lady trying to buy something on the ‘interweb’ or people who are just not particularly computer literate or ‘tech savy’.

    In your case, you mention a bot giving you an answer that you yourself were too lazy to look-up. I’m pretty sure lot’s of people don’t know where to search and/or don’t even bother reading/searching answers to their problems.

    See? You just read a whole comment from a stranger because you were curious.

    Edit: In reality I agree with you, bots are incredibly frustrating and I do not have any evidence to them ever being helpful, I just wanted to entertain a different idea.

    I work with data, and just today I found the longest name in our database, it was 46 characters long counting spaces and it consisted of three names and three surnames (which in reality is only two, but one is twice as long).

    Mine is 37 characters long and I have two first names and a “Del”. My girlfriend’s is 33 and she has three first names.

    The “De”, “Del”, “La”, “Los”, “De La” etc, count as part of a surname. For example “Del Río” is a surname.

    For the exaggerated example I gave before, I chose a Telenovela sounding name, those are very uncommon but do exist in the wild. For more examples, I’d recommend you check out spanish royalty names, they are a lot longer and include a bunch of titles a la ‘king of the Andals and the First Men, lord of the seven kingdoms and protector of the realm’ but with saint names and things like that.

    I think this is due to the fact that we’ve become a more sensible and empathetic society recently. We have access to more education, mental health, etc. We have a better understanding of the importance of childhood as a developing phase for human beings, and just how vulnerable children are.

    I mean, sixty-seventy years ago, the US still had apartheid; that’s how much we have changed as a society (I’m not american, but there have been many cultural and social movements all over the world)
