I couldn’t decide between MPSIMS or IMHO, so please move accordingly.
I had an interesting idea while posting to another thread. Lets make a DoperBot!
Heres the idea: There’s an AI chat bot called MegaHAL that learns by getting chat input from a human. It can also learn by feeding it appropriatly formated text files (they used the screenplay to Aliens with amusing results). A doper or a group of dopers, get all the threads over the last couple years and convert them to txt files and parse them to the proper format. With the proper parsing software you could feed in only a certain Username’s posts or group of Usernames. We could make a Spoofe Bot, or an Uncle Beer’s bot, or just a general doper bot.
Of course this be nothing close to true AI, and my guess is that it will turn out more like a TrollBot than anything else but it would be very amusing to try it.
So…any volunteers?
