[TRAILHEAD] Autoboy

I saw an ad for this Facebook page this morning: https://www.facebook.com/autoboy.chatbot/
(Facebook probably knows my interests in ARGs and the like)

Which led me to
http://autoboy.co

At first, I thought it might be legit, but I tried talking to the bot and got some pretty terrible results. Figuring there's something else going on here.

UPDATE :
By tweaking ( i mean enlarge) the image i got these faces

UPDATE :
The unedited image has a blank white blank dots. then, looking at Dick Powell And Mike Mazurki wiki page, i found sometihing they have in common. they starred in one movie called " Murder My Sweet". The Movie Title is match the number of dots in the image.

How did you find that?

I noticed on the facebook page the following:
Quote:
hEllo! I Am AUTOboY and I am a ROBOT. I would like to SPEAK with aLL peoPLE! (especially ReAL Human WomAN)

Which looks sort of like Bacon, but doesn't translate to anything sensible

All I get when I try to chat is
Quote:

I do NOT speak Spanish.
AUTOBOY!


Edit: ok, he responds to "play a game" but not "do you want to play a game"

This looks interesting. I can't get the 20 questions game to work on my phone for some reason. He says to think of something but then nothing happens. It says something about 'publisher app' under his message but clicking it doesn't do anything either. Not sure what I'm missing.

Anyway, the envelope in the image above seems to indicate we should email the Autoboy team with the answer so I just dropped it as casually as possible into a general email asking for more info on Autoboy. I'll let you know if I get a reply!

I had only found Carl's email previously -- I hadn't scrolled down on the home page. Doh! That reveals email addresses and Twitter accounts for Tom, Cecillia, Kenneth and Carl. I've tweeted them all and will send out some more emails now. There's also an email address for people to apply as turing testers, so I'll apply for that too!

Anyway, my reply from Carl:

Quote:
hello i am carl i am man who trains autoboy
thank you for all the nice words
sorry i do not know about the questions but you could ask tom or cecilia

I emailed the jobs@ email address and got a reply from Tom -- he included this link for signing up as a tester:

http://autoboy.co/apply

EDIT: Incidentaly, it looks very much to me like this is from the same team/person who ran Very Good Drug/Trisphere and BLUEMIND. The sense of humour running through it so far seems very similar (and hugely to my liking!). Players were also able to make accounts on the Trisphere website as testers can with Autoboy, which is another striking similarity. Very excited to see where this one goes!

Yeah, I managed to get signed up. Unfortunately I'm about to leave the office but happy to jump on chat later when I'm home.

EDIT: Oh, and I had this on my confirmation message when I verified my account -- haven't been able to make anything of it yet.
