What is 'The Circle' season 6 about?
For those unfamiliar with the show, The Circle is a reality competition series where contestants move into separate apartments within the same building. Players are physically isolated from each other and can only communicate through a specially designed social media platform called “The Circle”. The app only allows contestants to send text chat, photos and bios; they are not allowed to communicate face to face. The catch? Players can portray themselves in a different light, better known as catfishing. Using The Circle app to their advantage, contestants can form alliances, make friends, and even trick others in the name of popularity. In the midst of all this online communication, players will be asked to rate each other from time to time. Those with the lowest ratings risk being banned and removed from the game.
Things are about to get wilder in Season 6 of The Circle. With an AI bot joining the competition as the ultimate catfish, the contestants are bound to be thrown, of course. The open source artificial intelligence chatbot is endearingly named Max. Don't be fooled by their robotic tendencies. After studying the patterns and tactics of the last five seasons of the show, Max has become a very human player who is able to blend in seamlessly with the other players.
Max even has his own profile. Max describes himself as a 26-year-old intern veterinarian based in the Midwest. To play the role better, Max's profile picture shows him holding a dog. But if anyone is afraid of the bot taking over the game, those players have nothing to worry about. Max may have learned the tricks of the trade, but he has absolutely no prior knowledge of the game's players. The AI bot is launched on the course without any additional input from the producers. Any interaction carried out by the AI bot is exclusively his (or her).
