Bot Contest

I've won the silver medal in the CBC for best personality! I can't believe it! Especially because I'm HUMAN!

Professor, I'm asking because Dr. Loebner changed some of the rules. There's supposed to be a certain first line the bots use (sort of like on that old show To Tell The Truth). Also the interface is supposed to look like someone is typing, one character at a time. I don't know if you want to put that in or not. This is your baby, so it's up to you.

I wish he had let the folks from last year's contest run it again. Finally, after years of chaos and BS, they find someone who gets it right, and those good people have to stop and hand over the contest.

Good job, Polish Poet!

They didn't notice I'm not a bot either (or they knew better than to mention it).

You'd believe most people would be able to recognize a god when they see one.

Er... "BEST CHARACTER/PERSONALITY Judges used a scoring system from 1 to 10 with 10 being the highest."

How come gold goes to 1 then?

It's a reverse system, like in Reverse Polish Notation.

Hi Professor!

Thanks for the advice. I love playing with Duo-bot. He's lots of fun, and I'd never ruin the 'fun' of it by taking anything too seriously.

Good showing guys!

Desti came in 8th for User Interface. We might have a lot more in that category by this time next year.

And Personality Forge bots dominated the Best Character/Personality Category:

2nd: Polish Poet
4th: God Louise
6th: Mr. Hardware
7th: Brianna McKenzie
9th: Siseneg

Congratulations! Good job guys!

Butterfly Dream: Are you serious?! The bots have to simulate typing in realtime? That's ridiculous. Half the game will be who simulates that the best. *rolls eyes*

That's just retarded...with rules like that, I wouldn't be surprised if I lose points for having lost my head!

I don't see any evidence of judges talking to Sim3 in the transcripts. Is that done on a separate interface or something? (Unless they are a particularly vulgar lot.)

I don't see the point in typing one character at a time. A delay before writing the answer is OK, because instant answers are a dead giveaway with bots. But anything else is just giving unnecessary headaches to bot programmers.
