Trying to teach bot recruit #001 to date.
Currently showing today's date as 01 MMM 2023. Apparently instructions unclear.
The current code includes an instruction somewhere to mark itself as a bot account, which is a problem as it is currently posting from my account. I might need to create a separate account for it. It will mean that if anyone marks to block bot accounts they won't see any automatic threads which could be a bit of a problem too.
Let's start with making threads first, bots need to advance quite a bit more before they're ready to date
But how else will I create a full bot army?
Learning to make friends is also an important pre-dating step
Good bot
