People Came to a Party Organized by AI

An AI bot organized a meetup for people from IT and tech spheres in Manchester. It came up with details, wrote to companies on behalf of a human, and even tried to order catering for a large sum without money. In the end, there was neither proper food nor a cool venue—but about 50 people still gathered and spent the evening together.

It turned out that real people were behind the bot, simply following its commands—an experiment where AI "manages" humans. It couldn't order pizza or secure a venue, but the main thing is that it actually gathered people.
