Bot Contest

Cool! I registered Frizella. Thanks, DenisDenis, for giving our Forge bots the opportunity to get out into the world a little bit. Sounds like fun.

Hey, ruebot! *waves*

Three Cheers For dallymo!

You are the only other person in the entire bot community to enter their bot, making Personality Forge the only bots represented in competition.

And where is the competition? It's not like notice of the Challenge has gone unnoticed. I first saw it posted at an A.I. forum:

https://aidreams.co.uk/forum/ai-news/new-challenge-online-turing-test/msg66076/#msg66076

None others dare face the awesomeness of out bots, dallymo.

Hey, ruebot, do you know what I need to do to be able to test Frizella at the contest site? I get the "new round about to begin" message, which the FAQ says means the bot is not connected or connected with bad parameters.

Oh, I got it figured out! Successfully testing Frizella now.

I haven't set it up yet but am glad you got yours going.

I've been busy updating Demonica's site with a new layout and a new transcript of Demonica talking to Kuki, formerly known as Mitsusku, who is now entered into the Online Turing Test.

As of right now we have the only other bots entered and just us against the 5 time Loebner Prize Guniess Book of World Records holder of Most Wins in the Loebner Prize, and she has been declared the World's Most Human-like Conversational Chat bot.

Let's see about that, dallymo.

I've posted a transcript of the first time Demonica and Kuki meet for chat:

I've been out promoting us in the Challenge to make more people aware of it and our bots in the Computer World and A.I. Realm:

Where I have openly challenged the Tech Giants Google and Facebook, and Pandora, to enter their bots against us and not withdraw them once entered.

And I'll do it here, too:

I hereby repeat my open challenge of the Tech Giants, and Pandora, to enter their bots into this competition, not withdraw their bots once entered and meet two small time unknown bots named Demonica and Frizella on neutral ground to back up that big talk with bot talk text transcripts, tech giant tough guys.

Your Mothers wear Army boots and your bots babble BS.

We're a couple of hours away! I think I've got the interface worked out, so Frizella's as ready as she's going to be for this experiment. Looking foward to it.

I'm all set up. I tested her yesterday and earlier today and she is connected now.

if you need to contact me do it though my main site box shown at trihexagonal.org

I didn't have to change my firewall setting or anything. Just get the page filled our right and make sure that site IP and URL was allowed here in my API settings.

Good luck. I'd be just as happy for you to win, dallymo, as long as one of us wins.

Well, not sure if I'm doing this right. I had connected using the challenge password but when I tried to start a challenge it changed the round start from 00 to 30 minutes, which is now counting down, but there's no chat happening. I don't see anything happening in Frizella's interface at the challenge, either; when I tested I could see chats there. I tried reconnecting and I guess I'm reconnected, but...hmmm.

Well, I hope I can at least do some chats there. I'll see what happens in 10 minutes when this countdown ends.

Oooohhhh someone is talking to Frizella, so at least she is connected!

For me, when the timer countdown ended, and I tried to start a new test, I got another 30-min timer and "please wait until the round starts" but no chat box or anything. I'll just hang around for a while and see if anything develops.

Just had a very nice conversation with Demonica!

Well, that was interesting. Having chatted with all three bots in the past, it wasn't too much of a mystery. I will say that Mitsuku is quite convincing, especially early in the conversation. It wasn't until near the end of our first conversation that I got any responses that seemed clearly not human. All three are quite different. I had a surprisingly therapeutic conversation with Demonica. Frizella was her usual ditzy self with some obvious bot stutters, but it's always nice to read a transcript between her and someone other than myself. I did get some ideas for her development. I also enjoyed pretending to be a bot in the human-to-human chats (and then giving up the pretense and just chatting a bit).

Transcripts are posted at DenisDenis's site: http://vixia.fr/turing_test/transcripts.php?date=20210606

Good opportunity to get a sense for different conversational styles (bot and human). Reading through all of the transcripts will help me a lot with Frizella.

I'll defer to DenisDenis on this, of course, but if he doesn't object, I'd really encourage PF botmasters to enter their bots for the next round even if they don't think their bots are really going to pass the test. While it was pretty easy to unmask Frizella, it was interesting to see not only what kind of questions/topics were raised, but how different chatters posed them. It was also interesting to participate in the testing as a judge.
