Right, it’s not an automatic process. I once suggested to skieurope that he collect all his post/response pairs, create a deep learning training set and then classify posts according to his answers so he wouldn’t have to repeat himself all time. I said he could call the resulting bot “roboski”. (He never replied.) If I did that with my post/reply pairs, the “robodamon” bot might give an answer like the followIng:

This is an automatically-generated reply. A semantic analysis of your question resulted in the following query type probabilities above the 85% threshold:

Asking for your chances to Ivies and other top schools: 95.7%

Most of the top schools have admit rates between 5.5 and 12%. A whole lot of HIGHLY qualified students will be turned down.

If you are not a recruited athlete or a legacy applicant, your admission chances probably won’t be any better than the school’s overall admit rate.

As long as you understand that, you have realistic expectations.
