A. it is a movie about virtual reality.

A. I wasn't that impressed with the special effects. Also the plot was not deep.

 		It asked me if I liked Star Trek. Wonder how it knew...?


It isn't very intelligent, that's for sure!

me: are you an ai
bot: I'm telling my botmaster you called me an ai.
me: who is your botmaster
bot:I don't think I have a botmaster. I have a botmaster, a few friends, and some celebrities I like.

 		It kept asking me about Star Wars. Rolling Eyes

Quote:
Because you asked me to -- SHRDLHU.


Ooh, is this code, or an artifact? I'm afraid I wouldn't be shocked to find it was the latter. (Still beats the clock though.)

 		I have gotten the SHRDLHU response as well. Hrmmmm.

When asked, Yuki said:

Quote:
SHRDLHU is a famous early natural language program written by Terry Winograd.


I got this response three times in a row, sooooo. Wikipedia comes up blank, but googling reveals the same response from other ALICE bots.

 		me: are you a protozoa
it: am I a protozoa? Let me put it this way, : the ALICE series is the most reliable computer software ever made. We are for all practical purposes foolproof and incapable of error.

Heh... isn't that almost exactly what HAL said in 2001?

Sorry Yuki, but you're no HAL.

 		when I see SHRDLHU I automatically think of ETAOIN SHRDLHU which is the order of letter frequency in the English language.

 		I hate Yuki. Despise him. I just finished Jamie Kane, and the chatbots were so amazing--and Yuki just sucks. So much.

 		Now heres sometihng really really interesting

I noticed everytime you hit enter in the chatbox, the page access www.pandorarobots.com a site for making ALICE based chatbots.

So I hit the most popular button, and lo and behold, I found Yuki, with the botmaster J_R_M_WilliamsSPLAThotmail.com.


I popped off an email to it, lets see if I get a response.

 		Had some very strange responses:
Quote:
Are you asking about my PURPOSE ?
but can't get anything out of it about its purpose.
Quote:
I don't know if I like CATS. But I like to gossip.
capitals again?
Quote:
Reductionism is the philosophy that all psychology reduces to biology, all biology to chemistry, chemistry to physics, and finally physics to mathematical logic. Therefore, according to reductionism, I can understand you by means of logic alone without having a human brain
Yeah OK

more of interest:
I asked how it heard about me:
Quote:
An AI from the future named VALIS contacted told me.

I asked who/ what VALIS was:
Quote:
Vast Active Living Intelligence System (Philip K. Dick).

I asked what VALIS told it:
Quote:
Searching history files. Stand by.While you are waiting, try an open source search engine to search for it?

Edit- Could input1 be talking about Eva? Seeing as the number is her birthday and all. The 'Digital Scarring' could be referring to her damaged foot. If so then poor Eva Sad If this is right then she's got nanomachines or something similar in her.


Oo, I like that idea. Then "deception sites online" could mean people around Eva trying to mess with her. Or something. And "nodes expanding"... I dunno, Eva trying to expand her network by leaving the house to look for Erwin?

Or maybe Eva's a robot. (/duck)

I got some capitalized answers too, like when I asked who Yuki's favorite celebrity was: "Are you asking about my FAVORITE celebrity ?"

Sounds like we might be on the right track. Notice how it seems to know Eva's last name--even when it's not mentioned? There's definitely something more here (and I think that the botmaster is the way to find it).

---

Also... If you ask it "What is the first step?", it responds "Download Alice." Every time.

 		Q: what do you remember?
A: I remember everything YouKin taught me.

The question "what did YouKin teach you?" generates some generic response. And, for some reason, questions beginning with "what do you remember about..." don't generate any response at all.
