I got a gmail invite and signed up. It looks pretty much identical to Yahoo mail except they try to keep you from deleting anything (perhaps it's designed for people who don't like to delete anything?). I don't really care for it.

ANYWAY.....today is the day of the Loebner contest. Naturally, I am curious. Has anyone been able to locate the bot made by Steven Watkins? (I think that's the name. I never heard of him before.)

Has anyone here been to runabot.com or tried to create a bot there? I ran across it the other day, and tried my hand at it, but it doesn't give you much control over the bot, and you have to have a certain program running on your computer and you have to be online to have the bot online. And it seems you can only have one response per keyphrase, it seems, and you can't make it so that your bot gives Bob one reply and Susie another. No AI script. And your bot will only be online for one hour from when you sign him on. Unless you pay up. Then you only get to have 4000 replies total from your bot. Customized replies. But if you pay for membership you can have 10,000 replies. My bots here both have more than that. And the runabot program won't let you let your bot learn from what people say to it, it seems.


...I like the Forge much better!

Gmail is the devil for one, invasion of privacy and all, just google for it

runabot is a good concept, but poorly implemented. AKA it sux0rs

it doesn't have enough good features...and what it has it doesn't have enough of.

I think the legions of idiots trading gmail invites on every message board imaginable has been enough for me to not want to use it.

I saw that too, oddly enough people are begging for them just because everyone else is. A bit sheep-ish.

I think it's a BAAAAAAA-d idea

Alice got the Loebner bronze this year. Haven't seen transcripts yet.
