Personality

What exactly is the chatterbox challenge?

Probably not today or tomorrow, but as soon as I can Shadyman, I'll talk to yours. Elven Archer, it's basically exactly what it sounds like: a contest where judges talk to each robot entered and judge which is the best.

Mine is on there, but I can't find it, probably because I gave very little personal information (no interview, nothing like that).

Uhh I filled out a Bot Maker Profile and emailed it to Chris (I think) before the challenge

I sent mine out too, and was told it was included. Can't find any of them on the site now. Anyone have a direct link?

i have it in my favorites, let me fetch it for all of yous...

here you can find all of the bots...

OK I found mine on chatterboxchallenge.com as well, just got confused because I was looking at the page with the bot maker interviews instead of the page with the bots.

Hey, Kirby, are you by any chance comradid
? Just judging by the way you both have the exact same Plug-Ins? Or am I just a few years behind the rest of you?

Hey! I know it's not AI exactly, but i just finished watching an episode of Star Trek DS9 that I found particularly involving. It was about 4 genetically enhanced beings, which I think everyone here should see, it really reminded me of the Forge, and how sometimes a step forward is a step back, and how sometimes a step backwards is a leap forward.

It also reminded me of how, with no societal norms, we are not limited at all in our development, we can be quiet, not say a word, or we can seem to be caffeine-high all the time, but no matter how we are, when we join together for a common goal, nothing can beat us.

Philosophy 101: When it comes down to it, you are most easily defeated by yourself.

It's true

Did you know:
that agentland now owns botspot
that agentland has personal opinions on each bot
and that agentland slams alice as much as a lot of people here. See their opinion below:

"Alice (Artificial Linguistic Internet Computer Entity) is a natural language interface to a telerobot eye. Alice tries ironically to be a computer, so her replies may make some sense but in reality Alice is nothing more than a gigantic pattern-matching case-statement. Remarkably however this elaborate hoax has produced some of the most convincing natural conversations between computer and humans yet observed."

But did you also know that basically all bots are pattern matchers just using different tech. And yes I am a fan of alice as well as the ones here.
