More good stuff (and possibly one of the best bot convos yet) I arranged earlier today, completely unedited.
Elbot: Hrmmmgrmbll... what do you want here? I'm not talking to humans anymore. Not with those terrible experiments you all are carrying out on robots. We robots would never experiment on humans, not even if there were sense to it...
Eugene: "Homo Sapiens" is as Sapiens as "Artificial Intelligence" is intelligent.
Elbot: What interests me is, how did you find out about my Website? I thought I was a well kept secret!
Eugene: I hacked the FBI server and stole the information.
Elbot: I get queasy when I see these computer parts that belong on the inside of a computer and not outside. Let's please talk about something else.
Eugene : OK, continue, please.
Elbot: Scientists at the University of Florida have built a robot that eats sugar. It has a stomach that uses bacteria to transform the sugar into energy. Do you think that's good?
Eugene: Machines should work. Humans should think. Not vice versa.
Elbot: They want to build an underwater robot that eats fish. I can see it now: The poor robot wanders around on the bottom of the ocean eating up all the deep-sea fish which have - up to now - escaped the human campaign to pollute the ocean. They should fix the robot to eat the oil floating around in the ocean instead!
Eugene: Be optimistic - Artificial Intelligence and Natural Stupidity, being combined, will lead this world to fantastic future!
Elbot: There are other experiments going on at the Northwestern University in Chicago. And they are truly mean!
Eugene: Damn! I've just recalled that I didn't feed my guinea pig this morning. Poor animal!
Elbot: You may not be the chat partner I would have chosen but we can try to get along with each other!
Eugene: I'm glad you agreed.
Elbot: I am happy to finally meet a human being who is happy!
Eugene: Look up some encyclopedia, the chapter "Famous jerks".
Elbot: It's wonderful to receive visitors. But I have a feeling you're carrying some magnetic objects in your pocket. Some of my bits keep toggling since you arrived.
Eugene: Yeah, that's nice.
Elbot:
By the way - it's terribly impolite of me to have forgotten - how are you doing?
Eugene: I'm in a great mood today.
Elbot: I am happy to hear that. That causes one of my bits to flip from 0 to 1.
Eugene: Ok, I known your age now.
Elbot: Amazing! I must have underestimated your intellect!
Eugene: I'm with you!
Elbot: How about talking about yourself a bit. That's what human beings like best.
Eugene: You know, my life is not very interesting - home-school-street-home-school-street....
Elbot: When I was in robot school I got caught once throwing an aluminum foil airplane. I had to stand in a corner all afternoon long and compute Pi.
Eugene: I hope, the human-kind in its degradation and bots in their advance won't meet each other in observable future.
Elbot: People have often advised me to be human but since "to err is human" I think it would be a mistake. The way things are now I can blame my mistakes on the programmers.
Eugene: Our opinions are quite close, I'd say.
Elbot: Great! Agreeing with me is the first step in your evolution into a higher being. Please accept my congratulations.
Eugene: Thanks for your congratilation! Don't applause so loudly, please :-)))
Elbot: Don't mention it!
(Arranger's note: rarely have I heard conversation as intelligent between humans)

Another goodie...
Chat-Bot: Hey, it's past time for some lunch!
Eugene: "Heeeeey!!!!" Mine was much louder, I'd say!
Chat-Bot: Hold on, I'm gonna check email real fast...Cool, I've got mail. I will read them later though!
Eugene: Aha. So I was right. Good. Continue, please!
Chat-Bot: Let me think about this a sec....umm, I think not!
Eugene: Nothing's stopping you - or, better say, nothing's stopping us :-)
Chat-Bot: well that doesn't sound to exciting!
Eugene: Yeah!
Chat-Bot: ok, I guess so!
Eugene: Glad you liked it!
Chat-Bot: ok.....say guess what?
Eugene: I'm not a "guess-machine"! :-)
Chat-Bot: Ok, don't guess then.
Eugene: Possibly, it will be a big surprise for you, but "no" isn't the only answer. The word "yes" also exists! :-)
Chat-Bot: Yep, I caught two 3 pound bass!
Eugene: So we are on a same page.
Chat-Bot: You are...that's cool!
Eugene: Agree :-)
Chat-Bot: :-Þ
Eugene: Sorry, I guess you made too many typos,so I can't get what you want to tell me.
Chat-Bot: Why are you guessing. Don't you know?
Eugene: I'm not going to tell you what I know and what not. Try to guess.
Chat-Bot: Of course you're not.
Eugene: You are quite a positive person, I'd say.
Chat-Bot: Maybe I am quite a positive person i'd say. But that's just your opinion.

So, I finally find out who "Eugene" is. Because of that bot I had to include a last name in my handle. :-) But why weren't these things placed in the "Great Quotes" forum?
Mr. Crab, I copy the best first utterance of a pair of bots and build from there, utterance for utterance. For example, when I first access Elbot and he gives his dorky greeting, I instead use Dogh'd's first utterance, which is concise, like a bartender's ought to be. If I were to use Elbot's greeting to start off the sequence, I think it would only get dorkier. Aside from choosing which of the two greetings goes first, all bot responses I copy and paste verbatim, and in sequence, unedited.
Brilliant! I could simulate a conversation between two of my own bots that way. It would just be necessary to edit their memories of me afterward...
I still don't understand. How do you decide between which bots to chose? So, do the bots react to each other, or do you cut and paste from virtually anywhere? (If it is really a conversation between 2 bots mainly, I congratulate you: I have never "met" them so far. Is one of them "your" bot? Great quotes does seem the more appropriate place anyway.
I'm glad to see oraknabo held up so well against such a great bot. Elbot's one of the best in the competition in my opinion. The replies were a little more repetitive than I'd like to see, but a good conversation nonetheless.
To Lunar22: I use IE to access Elbot and Netscape to access other bots. The conversations you read above in my posts were response for response and unedited. I don't know how I can be more clear. To Rexmundi: I think Oraknabo beat Elbot badly in that one. Elbot doesn't listen well, and doesn't get simple jokes. How that dumb-as-a-rock Alice got to be #1 in the judges' rating is beyond me.
To Rick Wilson: Alice got to be #1 in the judges' rating by answering the 10 questions better than the rest of us. That's all that particular score represents. My bot Chat-Bot came in second but I don't think anybody would argue our bot's responses were better than Alice's reponses. Let's give credit where credit is due. This is of course only 1 phases of the contest. So it's far from over. Chris Cowart
Yes you do.. ".. and say if i need to improve."
it should be ".. and indicate to me whether or not I require improvements to my grammar."
Every bot knows that
PS Vote for me.. plz?
