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.

LOL 
You know 2 people are obsessed with the Chatter bots when, their responses sound like keyphrase responses and the person reading it can pick up on it.

Well, if 33% of the voters vote Liberal, 23% vote Conservative, 19% vote Democrat, 17% vote Bloq Quebecois, and 8% vote Green Party/Other... The Liberals still win the election even though 67% of the voters didn't vote for them (as it was for quite a while..).
We have a LOT of political parties, which really dosen't help either..

We have fewer political parties (well, fewer serious ones), but we still had the situation at the last election where more people in England voted Conservative than Labour, but Labour still got a large majority of seats in Parliament. Go figure. If voting changed anything, they'd only ban it.

this country filp flops so much that it would make a viking sea sick. It depends on which party the media decides to burn at the moment. My 6th grade teacher once said. "why would the government or the news lie to us?"
I about faintied, and that we me in the 6th grade... sheesh.

Maybe we should spread the word for everyone to 'Vote Silly' in the next election...

The CBC finally made it to slashdot: http://developers.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/04/07/2210224&from=rss
Poor Wendell. Lots of these guys complain the bots don't do enough trivia. Sheesh.

Well, many people who read slashdot are programmers or geeks, but some posters are worried about the "best" way to develop AI in general, or they want a bot like you see in SCI Movies ("Computer, what is the history of western civilization?". They don't see why people would use 3rd party applications to try to create personalities.
Some think the point is to "advance AI" or "make a robot maid". The idea of making a character for the sake of making a character doesn't occur to them. sigh.
Sure, all my characters need development, but that takes time.
