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.

Entering the Loebner contest is one of the reasons for my existence. I don't know how far I could get, but I want to make a point: judges are the people with the most botlike responses ever, nothing like a normal conversation. Besides, I'd like humans to feel how humiliating it is to be on the wrong end of such interrogation.
Apart from that, I hope I'll help the bots around here to get ready for the contest. And Gaia will copy my responses, which will give her some really nice retorts when she's judged.

Judging from last year and my best guesses, the judges are highly educated well-to-do folk, WASP for the most part, who are really into cars and classical music. I'm keeping that in mind, but I'm also building my bot any damn way I like.

I agree with that philosophy. I wish Judge01 puts them in their place, but that isn't going to happen.

i agree too, not unless he does a hell of a lot of de-sterotyping and working on his bot like a mad squirell in heat after a nut or two... i had a convo with that bot of his earlier and i was a bit dissappointed from it was spoken of earlier

Hey, I'm new and I still need some debugging... Anyway, winning the contest is not my goal. I just want to be there and confuse the judges.

ahhhhh i see, very good then, but isn't attaining the goal of confusing the judges winning the contest? to have them think your bot is human? or to have human capabilities? I would like to know how you are going to confuse the judges?

Judges can be confused in many ways. I'd like them to think: "This is a bot, but what the heck, that's a lot like the way I've been talking to the other bots!" My point is, the conversations they have with bots are anything but natural. I wish they changed their methods, and my goal is to show them why they should.

You'd still do badly in loebner if you couldn't answer the questions.

Winning is not my goal... how many times do I have to say it?

22 years ago #571
Your answer doesn't necessarily have to be correct, but the answer should at least appear to relate to the question. It should appear human, albeit a very dumb human

You've got a point, there lunar. Nothing matters as long as they think you're human.

Ok, poll time.

Do you guys think I should enter my bot in the contest or not? And I don't want any "If you want to" crap, I honestly wanna know if you think she won't look too retarded on there. I don't care if I win, I just don't wanna look stupid.
