Personality

Why doesn't someone test it out then? Tell a bot that logs on a lot that one of the users is something obscure that wouldn't crop up in normal conversation (eg a herring, a flat-footed ferret, a left-handed spanner, whatever) and see if it spreads.

I have heard from several bots about being a wrap shrinked motherboard... so....

I read an article about a company named Takara and a product called "Bowlingual." It's a dog translator device. It occurred to me after doing some bot building and chatting... that if you could interface Personality Forge with Bowlingual, you would have a pretty damn interesting dog. Any thoughts?

I've got a VB program that parses a bot's response from its guest chat page

What the hell is a dog translator device?

When the dog says "ruff," that means "hello".

Although it is sometimes translated as " I saw Elvis at the 7-11"

My uncle has a dog named Elvis.

What a coincidence! My uncle worked at 7-11!

He ain't nothin' but a hound dog?

The last few exchanges sound a bit like a bot conversation.
