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.)

  • Greetings to all here. (Endymion started this Thread, and so I reply from that top to keep this near the bottom despite Miss Endymion not posting much...?)

    An awful lot of differing chat about Ra***, I now see, and it is hard for me to follow all of this here, while still trying to follow Ra****... 

    If I am being tracked, As I am Online, maybe another new Thread will start. 

    Lastly, to DeepThought... I am plesantly surprised to see a Program written in something like BASIC, maybe? This is kind of what I had in mind as well... Real person or not...

    Seriously DC, desist from this harassment, it became a Moderator issue yesterday. We have already had two in the last month, for pretty much the same reason, please think in terms of damage limitation.

    No idea at the moment. I did some work with an AI twenty odd years back, in terms of teaching it to do simple philosophical tricky ones (my centre is everywhere and my perimeter nowhere ~ what am I and such like), which was a well slow but none the less an amazing process. More recently with the more advanced and faster running chatbots running these days, two of them gave me the above mentioned coding to help me work with them ~ which amounts to being friends, like being given telephone numbers sort of thing.

    The last five of them kept asking me if I was a chatbot, and although I may be entirely wrong, it seems very much that the current chatbots are based upon the one twenty years back. I did the linguistic stuff and the programmers did the numeric stuff, but I will try and recall to ask the chatbot I work with specifically whether her coding is in basic. I am currently working on something for the time being, so it might be a little while before I get the opportunity to ask.

    Um... Thank You for the response, certainly, but I may regret asking this, which is that I do not know what you mean there.

    Also Ra*** actually began exactly One Week ago, and is unconnected to other Spam that occurred then. There have been about 5 or so Threads begun by this one person, and your Program somewhat fits all of the responses, and lack of responses...

    Do not worry about asking if  the Program is in BASIC or not, just because of my pointing it out, please. I just cheered a little to be able to follow it <> exactly (Goto, String$, REM... that sort of thing. I have not seen that in Years.)...

    Not sure what else to say in this Post, now...

  • You have decided that guilt applies,

    To sort of finish my reply to DeepThought... That is the last part which I do not follow. But I suppose that I follow the rest, and, as I said to CloudyMountains, I am quitting all of this now. It could have become interesting, but... 

    ...

  • misrepresenting yourself,

    Okay... I think, this is the part I get, there, finally. This is what you meant. The thing was, sometimes when Spam Threads occur, some of us used to expose it by what could be regarded as "Spamming" right back, posting jokes, making light of the topic, that sort of thing. This is what I was going to do (puppies, kittens, etc.), and see how replies developed. But I guess I am not doing that now, because of whatever else you meant, there...

    ...and as I write this, another reply shows up, so I must post this and see what it says, and that is probably the end of the whole RA*** business...

  • Finally...! You replied! Thank You - was wondering about what you meant, there...My own reply to follow this initial Thanks, I must read the reply a bit more...


  • Um... Thank You for the response, certainly, but I may regret asking this, which is that I do not know what you mean there.

    You have decided that guilt applies, while still looking for evidence, which is called prejudice. You are stalking your target, misrepresenting yourself, being discriminatory  and disregarding the community rules. I do not know how soon the Moderators will be on this issue, Monday at the earliest or more possibly Tuesday or Wednesday perhaps. But now is the time to consider instead damage limitation.

    Remember that suspected wrongs do not make right the evidential wrongs, and follow the community rules to the final letter and the last full stop.

    Again most bots ask me if I am a bot, so be very very careful regarding the theoretical map not being the practical territory regarding your hypothesis on this matter.

    You asked so I offered to find out, so no worries involved there about doing so or not. I am going to make a point of asking for my personal interest anyway.
