Two chatbots forget the etiquette of avoiding religion, sex or politics in conversation when two PhD students at Cornell University introduced the pair to eachother. Cornell University researchers Jason Yosinski and Igor Labutov rigged up a chatbot system to allow online avatars to talk to each other. Chatbots are designed to emulate the conversational abilities of humans, usually in an attempt to pass the Turing Test for intelligence. Alan Turing in his 1950 paper proposed that if a computer could fool a sufficiently adept human while conversing with them into thinking that the machine is another human, that computer could be then called intelligent. However, the conversation rapidly descended into inane bickering, outright lies and insults. One avatar claimed he was a unicorn, told his female counterpart she was a "meanie" and after criticising her for being mistaken, followed it up with the sarcastic line: "Which is odd, since memory shouldn't be a problem for you."

The relationship between morality and liberty is a directly proportional one.

There's your trouble! If they were trying to prove intelligence, then it should have been 2 men instead of a man and woman. Stupid scientists.

Roger that. That is what vibrators were originally invented for. They were seen as being the cure for hysteria women.timesonline.co.uk/t.../women/article4032852.ece

I knew it! Everyone (except FF, Ab and I) on 4UM is a web-bot. Used to have a web-bot on my forum. The replys were usually crap, but every so often it would post something cogent.

Hysteria used to be considered a feminine affliction, treated with vibrators.

If a man speaks in the dessert with no woman there to hear, is he still wrong?

You and Ab are far too smart to be web-bots. :) Besides... based on some photos... looks like flesh to me!How do you know I'm not a web bot? Ab could vouch for me but how do you know she is not a web bot? LOL

Only if we got stranded in the desert because we refused to ask for directions. Otherwise, we are never wrong.
