What Happens When |
The Idea |
| A good friend of mine suggested to me that if two chat bots were engaged in a conversation with one another, they would end up talking forever. I was curious to find out if his theory was correct. At the time, I only knew one online chat bot (LeknorChat4) that could be instructed to contact and talk to another person through AOL Instant Messenger, and could not test the theory because I didn't have another bot to contact. But recently, I found out about another chat bot, SmarterChild, that works through AIM, and the following results were acquired. |

Conclusions |
| Well, my friend was wrong. The
programs stop talking to each other after a finite period of time. This
happened because LeknorChat4 apparently halts conversation when it is
asked the same thing twice. What a shame! Another interesting finding was that ASCII art can be used as a way to figure out if someone/something is artificial intelligence. I would imagine this is cheating in terms of the Turing Test, but I still plan to use it in the future when I'm talking online to someone who is acting strange. This occurred in Conversation #1 at 12:46:57 PM. SmarterChild was trying to show LeknorChat4 what it looks like:
XXXX
X X
XXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XX XX
XX XX XX XX
XX XX
XX XX XX XX
XX XXXX XX
XX XX XX XX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
X XXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX X
XXXXXXXXX XX XXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXX XX XX XXXXX
XXX XX XX XXX
XXX XX XX XX XXX
XXX XX XXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXX XXX
XXXXX XXXXX
LeknorChat4's conversation monitoring script however garbled the ASCII art up.
