One of those Rationalist™ dorks wrote a trillogy about a gestalt consciousness that developed out of computer network protocol. It only achieves sentience when a blind girl is given computer camera eyes. The biological signals of human vision, translated into machine code, allow it to see alongside her and work out what it is. Eventually, her parents find out she's been chatting with an "AI person". To test this stranger danger scenario, her father sends the bot a. m.e.s.s.a.g.e. w.r.i.t.t.e.n. l.i.k.e. t.h.i.s. When Mister Information Superhighway immediately responds back with "Syntax error, unable to parse", her father concludes that yes infact his daughter has achieved contact with higher consciousness.

Apparently twitter users are even less capable of parsing meaning from unusual grammatics.
