How is it possible that a collective has favorites, or even definite interests, apart from assimilation?
Robby, will you put up in your page a transcript of your conversation in the Loebner contest? Since you didn't pass as human, we'd all like to know how "botlike" you were. Theoretically, six bots sounded more human like you.
The way I see it, if the results of the contest are admitted as valid, all the bots that were above Robby passed the Turing test, and should share the big prize. If they aren't admitted as valid (and personally, I don't think they are, after the transcripts I've seen), then the Loebner contest should be repeated, with a lot more care this time to do things right.
I guess it's Mr Loebner the one that has to decide if the results were valid, isn't it?

Actually, in Star Trek Voyager it came out that the main objective of the Borg was to achieve perfection. Assimilation was a means to that end. But what they really wanted was the Omega Particle.
Aha, Robby. That translation has Joy saying that SHE is a chat-bot, anda chat-bot who creates a winning chat-bot is quite a worthy accomplishment.
I thought I'd mention to you folks that Chris Cowart is running the Chatterbox Challenge this upcoming year as a committee of seven bot people, and I am one of them. The committee members are: Fred Roberts of Elbot, Kevin Copple of Ella, Benji Adams of Personality Forge, Rollo Carpenter of Jabberwacky, Juergen Pirner of Jabberwock, Chris Cowart of Talk-Bot, and somebody from whoever is sponsoring the contest each year. We've got lots of good ideas, improving on all the contests to date.
One thing I want to make clear, is that I want TOTAL RESPECT and UNFLINCHING OBEDIENCE throughout this contest. Any questions or comments will be grounds for TOTAL DESTRUCTION. If you dont like this, you can EAT WOOD and other such NON-EDIBLE SUBSTANCES.
Of course, I am totally kidding. In fact, we're going to have a forum for discussion on the sponsor's web site, and I'll be a direct link to every question you might have.
