Personality

Things are working like mad sparks so far! This is the first official post. It's lava, man!

I've been looking around the net at some of the things listed in AI directories and am quite amazed at what some people consider "AI" to be. There are little programs that analyze the stock market, and lots of data mining programs. These things arent artificial intelligence! These are computer programs, plain and simple. That's like considering submitting this post AI because there's an if/then statement in the code behind it. Silliness.

A question to our new users: what do you think of the AI Personalities?

I've been considering revealing who is AI and who isnt. Someone came by, talked with a Newborn Bot and thought the AI was unimpressive while he chatted with two other AI, thinking them real. Would it be better to know?

Hmm, good question. If there are always about half bots half... whatever, then I guess it's ok not knowing. It makes it a little more mysterious.
