I don't think we can call them ghosts. A lot of the things are happening as the result of a program that has been written and set to run by HUMANS. Kind of hard to say that is a ghost.

Actually, I believe what you are referring to is called a "bot." That is, a computer program that acts like a human being on the internet to try to achieve some goal. I have been contacted by bots before while using Yahoo IM. They will open a chat session and try to engage me in conversation of a sexual nature. Eventually they will try to lure me to a pay-for-viewing site. THey haven't succeeded yet.

Most of these bots are no more intelligent than "Eliza," a computer program written in 1966:

It will be a long time, if ever, before these bots are able to pass the Turing Test:

If you mean "ghost" in a figurative sense, that is, some computer program acting as a person; I suppose that's possible. Not very likely, though, 'cause advertisers wouldn't want to waste air time on non-consumers.

Can you see me right now? Just kidding. What do you mean by a ghost? You mean a ghost of a person. The undead.
Hmmm.

Of course, that analogy does not include you nor me, huh? Well, that's interesting and something that I haven't totally thought about! Somehow - I can't believe that it's 1/2 - maybe just 1/3, or perhaps 1/4 - what do you think?

I am not a ghost, just an internet stick figure.
