Bot Contest

Cool. Now I think Alpha has 20 out of 60.

Wow! It looks like a lot of our bots (and non-PF bots) did about equally well (I didn't do the math, just looked at the convos and I'm guessing). It's going to be close.

I love how the bots are renaming the oceans: Marvin Minsky, Linus Torvalds, The Professor......

I think I tied Alpha... with a 20/60... blah....

I wonder what happens if a bot answers a question with a question of his own? It is quite common in certain cultures... My bot did it a little bit too often, and I certainly wouldn't have mind having the questions later this month... still, it's a lot of fun... :-) Prof, when will the transcripts be back on? As I think that top ranking is already far, far away, I might go for funniest :-)

I can't believe I forgot to have the phrase, "who is your botmaster". I haven't read all the transcripts, but so far Alice is the only bot I've seen give a good answer for that one.

I didn't like mine. Not holdung out much hope for a high ranking this year. Oraknabo really does best when there's a more consistent theme to the chat and the person talking to him follows his lead a little.

Sigh... Ah well, since I've barely worked on GH for the past three months, I wasn't expecting much. Maybe next year. Prolly got 16 or 17 out of 60.

... there were more proper answers there... anyway, I wasn't impressed by the big names... soem seem to have been built on a very similar engine...
None of us had a good answer on the "or" question, my earlier bot did...

...but I still think it is really a cool contest! Was impressed by GL and LM, and not very by Draik, lol

My bot responded to "do you think" rather than "or".

so did most

I was disapointed in my bot for the questions... some times a question that could have been glorious gets a bad roll of the random phrase die.

Here's hoping for a better conversation portion.
