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.

Turing's- I'm using the offline editing capability to create two new bots, my own bots, and will use them to test and create the Import function. They're ready to go. I just have to build the function.
Intentional misspelling will not be allowed in the next Chatterbox Challenge. However, despite any rules you might have there seems to be in every contest some judges who can't following the program. I think the key here is throwing out the high and low score and averaging the remaining number. This should yield a more consistent and fair minded scoring system.

How do you get to be a judge anyway? Not that I want to, because then it wouldn't be fair to enter my bot, I'm just curious. (Actually I'd prolly give my bot crappier scores than everyone else would, heh.)
By the way, just in case anyone is interested in other forms of Turing tests that are out there:
I was reading a back issue of New Scientist, and apparently some guy in HP labs was a part-time DJ, and decided to try and make an AI-DJ, which he then proceded to do.
He then took his program to a local club, and proceeded to play one set himself, and one set with the program (while pretending to be mixing himself - he could only be seen from the waist up). Later they told the dancers that they had just taken part in a Turing Test, and asked them which set was human. A full third of them believed that the AI program was the real DJ.
This was a couple years ago now. Are these programs getting good enough that DJs (and other artists?) are on their way out?

Funny... I always thought all DJs were bots.
I think his test proved more about DJs than about his bot writing ability.

The article is out! It isn't Der Spiegel after all (I misunderstood--the guy USED to write for them). Anyway, here is the link:

Those of us who are not fluent in German can get by with a Babelfish translation (babelfish.altavista.com).
One thing really pisses me off about this article, and it was not Mr. Breuer's fault. His editor put in that thing about me having a 'brain damage.' Bullshit. My IQ is 156. I do have a learning disability, which Breuer and I discussed at length.
This will make more sense when you read MY article:
