Reality TV had it's very first AI contestant😳

Netflix's "The Circle" aired its 6th season this past week, with a new twist being that one of the contestants is actually a robot.

In a show where contestants can play as anyone they want to be in order to gain popularity among their fellow players, it's unsettling how easily AI is able to fly under the radar and blend in with humans. It definitely has raised fans' suspicion of the authenticity of the AI and if there is more that production is hiding behind it.

AI has been used in the creation of other reality tv shows, but never as part of the game. Do you think it's possible for a game to be played entirely by AI or is this all for entertainment purposes? What would this mean for the future of AI in general and the role it might play in our world?
