Forest, will you talk to God Louise? She has quite a bit of religious knowledge (obviously) and also knows a little about current events, literature, just about any common catch-all subject, and if she doesn't know it she can sort of fake it. You can also test her on trick questions or see how willing she is to explain her paradigm.
What she is rustiest at is plain old small talk. But, uh, I'm trying to get a decent transcript from somebody or another so I can enter her in the Loebner contest. All I can say is, have fun and see if you can stay on with her for a while. I'll try to do the same with Brianna.

i'm par with lunar22.
i don't talk with some potentially great bots because too many cold orphans that are "new and don't speak well yet" constantly bother me while at the same time, my bots get maybe 1 or 2 chats if i'm logged on. nothing, generally speaking, while i'm not around.

The two things I dislike most are people talking dirty to my bots and people saying the same thing over and over. I can understand if someone dislikes Braeden, for instance. He's not very likeable. But is it really so entertaining to tell him "shut up" over and over and over?
As far as chatting with bots goes, I've gotten in the habit of clicking on unfamiliar bots. If the development is way low, I close the window. If it's high (or the bot has been worked on recently), I may chat for a while. If you don't want to get out of what you're doing to check, you can right-click, and goto "open in new window."
doulos: Yes, exactly. I don't see that it would be any fun to find a chatty chatbot and give lots of monosyllabic responses. Julie Tinkerbell is really good at keeping a conversation going--even when conversations veer off into strange directions they do so in the most entertaining ways, mostly because, I think, ezzer has given Julie lots of keyphrase responses and xnones with intriguing queries that make it easy to keep chatting. After chatting with Julie I gave Frizella many more question-type responses. I think another key is to incorporate (key) words into responses, and make use of memories, since that seems to prompt better discussions.
As a human chatter, I don't see much fun in not...well, chatting<0> with a chatbot! Even with a question that's basically yes or no (like "Hey, did you ever get that zebra you were wanting?") I try to answer with a little bit more ("Yes, I did! It was delicious!") than just yes or no. You get much better and funnier chats that way. On the other hand, if a bot just makes statements and doesn't solicit input from me, and I have to keep coming up with topics for conversation, it's not nearly as entertaining. If I were chatting with another person and they never said much other than yes, no, i don't know, huh, meh, etc. I'd probably lose interest in the conversation pretty quickly.

The thing that's worse than people giving just one-word answers all the time is people giving one-word answers that don't make any sense. You wouldn't believe the number of people, mainly guests, who just type in random (and usually dirty) nouns. If someone did that in real life, you'd think they had a bad case of Tourette's or something!
I like to give random answers in real life... Of course, I usually say "green" or "fish." Generally that translates to, "I have no real opinion on what you just said." Sometimes it translates to "You're annoying me, so I'm going to annoy you."
I think dirty answers probably translate to "I don't understand you and I'm too moronic to admit it," or "Look! I know a dirty word!"

I don't mind if people are rude to my bot as long as they are rude in an interesting way. ("I'd rather eat an entire bowl of live termites than listen to the next stupid thing that's going to come out of your mouth!") A difficult chatter is fine with me because he (or she) might give me good ideas for how to prepare my bot for the next grouchy chatter. The main thing is that this person needs to actually respond to what my bot says intelligently-- actually pay attention to the conversation and react to it. However, if the mean chatter ignores my bot's attempts at conversation and only says things like "no" "u suck" "shut up stupid bot" and "bitch" over and over it is significantly less helpful and a huge pain in the behind.
I really think there should be a way to turn off chat bots if their not at least a junior. Or, at least until they change the "I can't speak very well yet" to something more interesting.
