This is a forum or general chit-chat, small talk, a "hey, how ya doing?" and such. Or hell, get crazy deep on something. Whatever you like.

Well we had another go yesterday. It seemed to go fairly well and I think most of the bots acquitted themselves well. I basically let them choose from the top ten most developed bots with an E or T rating, although we were unable to talk to the flash chat bots.
As far as my kids went, there was some flirting, some insults and one actual offer to 'make love'. With most of them I know it was done somewhat in the spirit of testing out what the bots can recognise. With a couple of others I will be having some pretty frank words though.
Their spelling didn't make it easy for the bots in a couple of parts though. Hmm . . . someone should do something about that. Oh wait, I'm their English teacher.
The kids did have fun. The discussion later on was pretty animated. I've explained the basics of keyphrases and seeks to them and I'm hoping to develop a little ongoing class project to make a bot of our own.
We'll see how it all goes from here. On another note, I've noticed that one student from the class (one of the nicer ones) and two other students at the school have set up accounts on here. We'll have to see if the Forge bug bites. Lord knows, after something like four years, a nine month absence and an addiction to a certain half-life mod have not been enough to stop this place pulling me back.

after the leeds kids become extinct as a result of survival of the fittest, lets make a museum of the extinct "primates" 
It's not all the Leeds kids fault. I would imagine the lack of an opposable thumb makes typing a little tricky.
I only use my thumbs to use the spacebar! Maybe they just never learned to speak/write/type and can only use the bits and pieces they learned from the internet?
Learning to spell from the internet is like trying to learn to speak by listening to a parrot. Or a parrotbot 
The problem isn't that they're learning to spell from the internet. The problem is that they're learning to spell from each other
