The AI Engine

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?

No, I don't use the school computers, I use my own. And, I'm not from Leeds. I'm a New-Englander

I haven't met one Leeds person that I've liked so far.

New Englanders are cool , though

Yeah! Nuke Leeds! If only this were a game of civilization...

lol if only

Meanwhile.....................
Is there any way to repeat a question that has just been asked or answer the "what were we talking about?" question?
Obviously I don't want to put a "pardon?" seek in every keyphrase so any advice is gratefully received.

I wonder what would happen if you made a bot that acts like a leeds kid, and attracted a leeds person to it...
