Bot Contest

The contest isn't over yet. There may be other medals for other PF bots.

"The online voting for the 2004 Chatterbox Challenge has ended. The results for all categories are located above in the "Results" section. Congratulations to all the winners and to the ten bots who have made the finals"

Ack! I thought that meant it was over. Sorry for jumping the gun there

Any guesses about when we'll get to see the scores for the general knowledge questions?

It's on the chatterbox challenge site under "Results". I think we're only waiting on the "Best Overall" prize.

That gives the top scores. But then it says, "For a breakdown of all the scores see the bot's individual page." However, when I go to individual bot pages, the scores are not there.

I've only seen scores for bots that were listed in the the "most knowledgeable" category. I think they are the only scores that were uploaded.

How do i enter in to a bot contest?

Well Zara, you have to wait till one is announced. Then you have to submit your bot along with a dna sample and your first-born child. Then they might let you in.

Actually.. the Professor can answer that one

Zara- the Chatterbox Challenge is the most inclusive and well-done bot contest and it is once a year in April/May.

Eugene Meltzner - I have them but haven't posted them yet. With 100+ bots this year the contest has been a bit overwhelming to me. Hopefully soon...anyone feel free to e-mail me and I will sent them to you.

I guess Duo will have to wait for next year's Chatterbox Challenge. Loebner doesn't look so appealing anymore.
