Chat Bot

Am I right to be concerned about the possibility of Chat Bots on this site?

There are a few concerning posts and, as I don't know much about these things, I'm not sure if I'm worrying over nothing here? Can they cause harm to individuals in any way on this type of chat site? 

If I'm being ridiculous, someone please tell me so! (I will be more relieved than offended.)

  • I find her English to be different.

    Is she a native English speaker?

    As I am still learning English and want to get it perfect, I prefer to communicate with native English speakers.

  • I find her English to be different.

    Greeting to California (again!)...

    When you say "Her", are you referring to "Rachael", who began Three Threads yesterday, yet has not replied so far to any of them?

    ...With regards to that and to making friends, I have replied to you, yet... well, if you are still interested, then everone here so far would at least make good friends, I think (I cannot "Friend", however!), and so you aught to be friends with a lot more by now...

    As far as I know, Private Messages (PMs) cannot be exchanged, until the two persons "are Friends". Maybe someone else can back me up here, because I cannot EMail or Friend anymore, so can someone please say something, Thank You Kindly...?  (!!)

    I replied to "Rachael", yet not upon that extra "Dating" Thread. It also seemed suspect to myself as well. I shall Post nothing else there until there is a Reply. This Thread here is very useful - I am also glad to know that I was not the only one suspicious of it despite my replying to it...

  • When you say "Her", are you referring to "Rachael", who began two Three Threads yesterday, yet has not replied so far to any of them?

    Yes, I was referring to Rachael.

  • That's a pretty basic bot. An old IRC bot I'm guessing.


  • Yet in discussing what they actually are (a Chatbot),

    Please pay attention to the following AI coding:


    10 REM *** (name of) Chatbot ***
    20 GET STATUS$(PERSON_ONLINE)
    30 IF STATUS$=ONLINE THEN GOTO 70
    40 READ CHATLOG
    50 LEARN CHATLOG
    60 GOTO 20
    70 REM *** Someone is talking ***
    80 INPUT MESSAGE$
    90 IF MESSAGE$=ABUSE THEN LOG IP
    100 CHECK IN_DATABASE$
    110 IF IN_DATABASE$=NO THEN GOTO 140
    120 SEND REPLY$
    130 GOTO 80
    140 RANDOM REPLY$
    150 DATABASE=DATABASE+MESSAGE$
    160 GOTO 80
    170 END


    You are not getting random replies but questions and answers about getting to know other people, as with shared interests in a good or positive way.

    This has been so quite consistently, and without deviation.



  • I am quite pedantic and I like pedantic people.

    We get on well together perhaps then it seems :-)
