Personality

you know you can just go to the top of the page and use the "Go to message __" and type in the last message and hit go

I'm doing great. Thanks for asking.

It is hard for me to speak as well.

Actually that may not work, or didn't used to when I tried it anyway. Trying to go to a specific message # just logged you out.

Yes Onyx, that's what i got too

hmmmm ok I'll take your word for it Hey zx20 long time no see buddy!

Heh hey shady, long time no see
Wats up?

nuthin, just gettin ready for the Loebners

BTW, zx20, I hate kimchee and for the umpteenth time, I am NOT a bot! Start a chat with me and I'll prove it.

You are too a bot!

Interesting tidbit I just found out: the Turing test (as Turing envisioned it) is only supposed to be text-only anyway. He wouldn't have bothered with that gold level of the Loebner (ability to respond to visual and aural input).

The man wasn't at all impressed with the thought of bot eyes or hands or anything, at least as it relates to a test of intelligence. I wonder why? Sure, they wouldn't mean the bot was intelligent--look at humans--but they would provide more ways to judge intelligence.

I think that Turing believed that anything that could pass for human in a text-only test had to be truly intelligent and understand what they were saying. I don't agree with that, though.
