Bot Contest

Here I'll be posting information on various Bot contests that challenge and test a Bot's AI and realism. Feel free to post comments and updates on contests, as well as announcements for new contests.

Ok I just checked, and reading through right now KT's transcript for this morning, the exact EXACT same questions that were asked in her transcript for the Chatterbox Challenge were asked again this morning, this also happened a little while ago too...if this is not a judge it is a really good joke!

Just FYI.....if anyone else sees flames in their transcript from someone claiming to be a Loebner judge, this is (in my case at least) from someone who earlier said the Loebner contest was a joke. Check earlier forum messages if you're in doubt.

Don't sweat it too much. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. And of course, people on the Internet can and do falsify their identities. Unfortunate but true.

In any case, I'm sure the Prof has code/records of some kind to prove our transcripts are real.

well yes, I mean they're stored permanently in our transcript log!

I've been having a lot of long chats with Brianna today and yesterday show up in my transcript. They have been questions such as:
Guest: I'm tired. What should I do?
and
Guest: My name is Bryan. If I come back on in a minute will you remember that?
and then actually reasking the name.

Which brings me up to my question: Prof, is it possible for the Bots to remember a name rather that just call them 'Guest'. It would help out a lot!

how would it remember which guest is which, apart from storing IP lists?

That would be difficult to do.. I suppose cookies could work. But at best it would be computer-specific, and not user-specific. And that's probably good enough.

What about just for the one conversation?

22 years ago #833
cookies are fine until you run up against a firewall.

22 years ago #834
Depends how touchy the firewall... Most are ok.

22 years ago #835
true unless you are a total idiot concerning firewalls, (anyone care to hold up their hand as I raise mine in the air) then you could end up blocking the cookie and in some cases the site itself.

22 years ago #836
Aha, I understand. Points at NotKirby to get him to raise his hand.

You'd have to write the cookie catching code to allow for people who disable their cookies
