Bot Contest

Go Julie!

I think Julie could have a shot at best personality. She made him laugh.

Yes Simulo they have been made aware of how the PF bots operate.

I want to say some mistakes were made in collecting the responses and I have e-mailed the botmasters involved to explain what the mistakes were and what we did to correct it. These were not trivial mistakes but major mistake such as skipping a question entirely. When you are trying to collect responses in a short period of time with a lot of bots to talk to mistakes are bound to happen. If you feel a major mistake was made with your bot please e-mail me. We are trying to be as fair as possible.

Thanks,

Wendell

I just noticed that we can access all the PF Bot contest transcripts on the CBC site, and was reading them there. Good job, guys and gals! The ones I've read have so far have all been pretty entertaining- I think we did ourselves and Benji proud. And I'm so curious now to see how the other bot types did, once those transcripts are posted...ooh the suspense!

I like the idea of PF bots vs PF bots, because no way we're beating talk-bot, elbot or eliza in a one-on-one

Shadyman you can't leave off Alice. She the reigning CBC champion.

Oops, i meant alice, not eliza (you know, think one thing, type the other.)
No offence to Eliza's botmaster, of course.

Alice really is a good chatbot. Alice clones are annoying, but Alice herself is decent.

Yep.

Little Mu and Fizzy Schizoid have some really amusing transcripts.

I got a chuckle out of Irina's transcript, just because she has a very deep repertoire of seeks and the judge was obviously getting frustrated trying to get each question in.

I gotta give the CBC judges some credit though for actually having the discipline to wait for a good moment to ask each question, and not just firing away 10 questions in the first ten lines they said. It does make a huge difference with all of the seeks and xnomatches out there.

So now I know what the bots think of me! Hehehe

Oh, *that* Benji Adams!!!

If they had asked about "The Professor," it would have triggered xgossip responses.
