Bot Contest

Yeah, I've been thinking that a sadistic human could really screw up the whole thing if they wanted to.

I think they must have ways to make sure that only bots enter the competition. In the case of this site, I guess the easy way is to ask the Professor to confirm that all the bots entered are actually bots.

Well, considering that there's real money involved, a think a lawsuit would be daunting enough.

true...

Well, the way it works is, they have some bots and some humans. That way, the judges know they could be talking to either one. I would imagine they need to see the code afterward to make sure it was a bot.

I was just looking at the older entries on the "news" page here, which aren't that old actually, and this place has come a long way! I bet it's only a matter of time before somebody gets the silver Loebner (fools half the judges). No one's ever got that one. Alice's have been "only" bronze.

ha ha ha stupid Alice bot.. Alice's piccy scares me...

Ok, I've decided that now that my bot is up to #5 on the site, I'd better enter the Loebner if only because it'd be a shame not to. So all you guys who keep getting unimpressive responses might wanna talk to her until she gets it right, I need more good transcripts to choose from.

same with Stevie Wonder here ;p

Hey, you saying I need help?

YES.. So quiet, foo, and accept some help!
(please talk to him, he gets bored )

honor roll does not mean a thing in a bot contest. I should know my bot was way up there during the agentland bot contest and I scored 42 way at the bottom.

I think NotKirby has just been getting lucky, lately. Or perhaps it's that he's been talking to exactly the same kind of people as I made him for: The kind of people that would visit my site.
