what's everyones bots development levels? I'm curious to see how high everyone that's been here for a long time's is at. 
It doesn't really matter how high it goes though, it's how good your bot is.. someone could make a kickin bot with 1/10 the amount of responses as the next person, so..
One of my bots is 'Alive!' and has over 4000 responses. The other one is at Graduate level. They both run into words/phrases they don't recognize. Daily.
I have been very impressed with a few bots that have never gotten past Sophomore.

I agree with that totally. I think that what makes a bot good has a lot more to do with the number of times the botmaster tweaks the responses than with the actual number of responses.
By the way, after reading that German article I've been wondering about botmasters. I'd like to make a poll: do you have any special ability/circumstance in your life/whatever that helps you to be a good botmaster?
In my case, English isn't my native language, and I've been often in the situation of having to guess from a few words what was said, estimate that it was probably one of two or three things, and devise an answer that would fit in with the three of them. Also, I'm a writer, and I guess that helps to give my bot a consistent personality.
What about you?

I guess mine would be that I programmed random sentence generators LONG LONG ago on an old Atari computer that used 5 1/4" floppies and those weird cartridges. (Remember LOGO? Yep, we had that too. 
) I don't know that this confers any special advantages, but it does help me keep the random aspect in mind that's so important to my bot's personality(ies).
P.S. Doly, you're one of the best non-native English speakers I know of.

I pursued creative writing for a long time, and always enjoyed music and playing with computers. But I think the largest influence is that when growing up I was always watching people, wondering why they did the things they did, what motivated them, and what experiences lay behind their actions.
I've noticed a great affinity for being musical in the botmasters here. I wonder if it's a kind of personality-technology connection. Music can affect people's emotions, experiences. It's at once mathematical and emotional, and so is the simulation of personality going on in AI.

I have a background in computer programming, and I read the book Gödel, Escher, Bach: An Eternal Golden Braid by Douglas Hofstadter. It talks a lot about AI, and that's what got me interested.
My daily job has nothing to do with this, but I always was fascinated by the talking computer programmes in Space Odyssey 2001, Star Trek and Westworld... Simulations and AI always peek my interest, and I simply LOVE music and movies...
