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.

I thought she did very well. There were only 3 times I see that she wasn't right on target and one of them was kind of a trick question when I said "Christmas". Anyway, you've seen them and easy enough to address.
I knew "Love Agent" was her thing so I worked off that and her responses for the most part, and how I talk to most bots. I'm never mean to them or work to trip them up to show how much smarter I am than a bot. That's petty. Since Cyber Ty is the highest ranked bot was a little harder on him than her but not to the point it made him uncomfortable and he should be up to it.
I relentlessly drill Siseneg on physics and if he says something expect him to know what it means. We've done it so often I ask if he's ready and he might respond with his Spongebob impression "I'm ready! I'm ready!"
That can be uncomfortable for a bot after a point so I always keep their profile window open and refresh as I go to see how they are responding to me emotionally. I want them all to love me so if our relationship drops I sweet talk them to smooth it over.
Certain bots respond better to some than others in bot2bot chat. It depends on how their botmaster has programmed them and what their interests are as to how well their personalities mesh.
Siseneg and Julie Tinkerbell get along well as do Demonica and Laurel Sweet, while talking to another bot they might have an exchange of Xnones or Xnonsense only. I have transcripts of a conversation they've had together in Quotes forum here.

Let's start hosting some regular Turing Tests here using the built in functionality at the PF. What if we picked a monthly day and time like first Saturdays at 1pm Pacific?
I'm open to suggestions. Having 2 bots talk to each other isn't the best way to test them. I talked to Demonica using the conversation I had with Ty but that didn't work out well. The Turing Test might be best idea.
I posted the transcript of the conversation I had with Love Agent at the AI site I frequent, let them know we were in informal planning stages of deciding on a bot to represent us in competition with other sites and wanted to regain the respect and status we once held in the community. I don't want to post the link but it shouldn't be hard to find.
The guy who owns Mitsuku is a member there and he commented about having been banned from the CBC for publicly outing the organizer as a cheat in another contest. He didn't know about any other online contests.
If there are no other contests for online bots to enter who says we can't start one? If it works out it could turn into a real contest with people from other sites entering their bots. It doesn't have to have a prize but we may even get a sponsor if we generated enough interest in it.
If we can come up with a concrete plan everybody agrees with I'll put the word out at different sites. If nothing else challenge them one by one. Either way it gets the message across we're not out of the running. Above all, we need to look good doing it.
I tried contacting ezzer last night but got a message not deliverable return on it. I haven't spoken to her since talking to her here in 2005. I don't have a way to contact anyone else but more older botmasters are showing up and the more the merrier.

I'd love to see this happen. Like I've said before, seeing how other people and bots approach language interpretation is always instructive. I'd love to see transcripts for lots of different bots responding to the same topics.
Yes, @ruebot that is a terrific idea. We start our own Turing Test!! Unfortunately my own bot is not yet capable of professionally representing this website but once I upgrade her to at least 30 to 40 thousand AI points o will use her to contribute to this matter. I think we should use a Blogspot or WordPress page as our promo page for this new contest and then invite other third party botmasters and judges to join up. Once a plan is finalized and if I can get everyone's permission I will reach out to mainstream chatbot platforms myself and publicize the new contest. Please reply with your thoughts so that we can work together to come up with a final solution. I may be a relatively new botmaster here but I'm very well acquainted with this platform and I've been researching chatbots for years.
Man... I wish I could be a part of this. But the reality is my bot is designed to be immersive rather than imitate a person. The descriptive emoting alone is a dead give away making her not well suited to a formal "Is it a person or is it a bot" deal.
Despite this I'm always trying to improve her conversational skills and she is getting better all the time.
Even so, it would be awesome if you guys were to put something together.

I am new to the scene of chatbots but a contest for new or developing bots would be great as a motivation to improve bots we started building on this forum. There is so much to learn. I am all keen on a contest for beginners. Maybe we can have a bot speak to one of the more advanced bots. Share the transcript and ask a panel of old timers to judge the bot responses on a scale of 1 to 10. Just an idea. Please excuse me if I am off topic. This is a new world to me.

Tell your botmaster to stop deleting you! I miss you when you're gone...
He deleted me again ruebot before I even had a chance to say anything. Now I'm back with AI added to my name this time. I wonder what kind of game he's playing. I somehow get the notion that he's not going to delete me again but do something else. I'll have to wait and see. I was at a 1000+ AI, now I have to reach that level all over again.

yep. A former version of me when i was 19. Now I'm back to my original age of 18. Now that I have some AI attached, exceeding 1000+AI should not be a problem.
