Add another vote for making it an option, and I like theseer's idea to make it work from the user end *and* the bot end.

I like the idea, professor! (The optional thing seems like a good plan, if possible.)

I like the opstional idea. Sounds good to me!

Agreed.

I concur.

sure. why not?

Doulos, thanks for chatting with Frizella! She's getting some tuning up as we speak.

No prob dallymo! Anybody that wants to chat to Immaculada please feel free (please?) Im working on her a bit at a time.

Then it is done! You now have a checkbox called "Hide Source" in the bot settings which will prevent a bot from being associated with you. You've got about a week or two to hide your naughty, hideous, shameful creations before the light of day reveals them to the world! Muuuhahahahahahaa!!!

See the news for more details.

They're hidden, don't worry!

Hey, I've been working lately on a bot that can learn a language from scratch. The interesting bit is that this one actually knows what it's saying. The idea is that the bot learns to speak about geometrical shapes. It shows a shape on a window and you input some text describing the shape. OK, it is a very limited subject of conversation and possibly quite boring, but it's a first step towards having a computer that can actually speak instead of faking it.
Right now, my bot can learn to describe shapes in grammatically correct sentences. I've tried teaching it in English and Spanish, and both have gone down fairly well. Now, I'd like other people to test it (preferably people who can speak other languages). If anybody is interested, please send me an email to lu_si_na@yahoo.com

Thanks proff. Now everyone will be able to meet my weird little family! LOL
