The story of a bot influencer and free food

Chris Buetti is a foodie, like most of us, but he's also a data scientist. So putting his mind to work, he created a bot influencer account on Instagram, and now solicits free meals from restaurants in exchange of posts. To accomplish this complicated task, he created an algorithm that would eliminate the role of his 'soft skills' completely. With a follower base of almost 30k, Chris' page 'Beautiful NYC' is a 100% automated influencer without a human behind it, and was in fact, inspired by a meme account. The data scientist runs a successful social media consulting company and wishes to extend this automated service to his clients to boost their follower base.This is perhaps the most unpredictable takeover by machines.
