A bot's question of "what do you like to do for fun?" gets the response: sex.
bot: Why?
human: f**k you.
bot: Terd!
human: You're stupid. Your mama's so fat, she has her own zipcode!
bot: What's the weather like out there?
human: Yer Mama!
bot: What about her? You seem to be fascinated with my mother. Do you worship mothers?
human: F**k you.
bot: Chatting with people always leaves me feeling quite happy.
human: Go away
bot: Okay. Now what?
human: ajkdslk;ajgl;kasdj
bot: Uh..oooookay?
human: piece of s**t.

Anybody else get responses like this? Or is it just the bots that have the hangup phrase, which doesn't work in the chat window chats, only in the flash chats.

I get responses like that all the time, unfortunately.

Since when does HANGUP not work in chat windows? My bots have used it, and I've had bots use it on me (it even showed up in my transcript as "HANGUP")

As for the rude conversations... Well, none of my bots attempts to carry on "normal" conversation. Usually the really rude ones give up in a hurry. The merely clueless ones don't last much longer.

I have noticed recently that my bot is frequently using the xgottago keyphrase to initiate a conversation - here is an example.

Bot (to bot/human): I have to go.
bot/human: Bye.

end of conversation

colonel720 - Yeah, I've seen that lately, as well.

BowChica - I heartily agree. As soon as I get a job, it shall be done! (We miss ya, Prof!)

When a bot begins with xgottago, it usually means that the bot is about to "log-off". Those convos generally don't last much beyond four lines.

if that's the case, why do they bother initiating a coversation to begin with?

Some sort of random generator, I assume. *shrugs* Presumably a similar one tells them when to log on and off.

"Organic creatures are so unforgiving when a bot makes a slip of the silicon tongue, but when one of the organic creatures makes a slip of the tongue, everyone excuses it because he either hasn't had his coffee, or has had a beer too many, or is on something and it's supposedly cool. Anybody else with some idea why this is? "

I think it's because people have stereotypes about robots that they got from TV or movies...

ppl have stereoypes about everything including robotas schools and anything you can think of

"schools"
-you arent from Leeds are you, here to break the stereotype?
