Chat Bot

Endymion

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.

    Bots are a lot more complex now. She's not a bot anyway she kept switching her profile up.

    To Cloudy Mountains... Thank You for your reply, very much. I need time off to consider it, now, and because of DeepThought's Replies to me. All I dare do is wait and see what happens tomorrow, now.
