As I am an open person and almost always like to talk to other people, I answered. That some"one" seemed to be a girl, seeking for a boy. So I thought: 1. I am rather too old for her 2. Possibly, I am rather too far away from her 3. Most important: I've got a family already. So the best thing seemed to me to tell her that somehow (not too directly, I don't want to be considered rude):
But she didn't answered my question but instead told me she felt "naughty" and wanted to have some fun. But how would she be able to have "fun" with me? After I told her that I don't need "more fun", she sent me a link to a JPG file. I didn't open it, because from that moment on, I thought that something would be wrong here. In the following days and weeks, she contacted me several times:
Yesterday I thought I would answer again and see if this was a bot:
Ah, I write "bed" and "it" writes something about "bed" back. Now, how to test for a bot simply? Just write something context sensitive, a "cheap" bot that wasn't programmed that good cannot react accordingly to that:
Ah! It writes back something that hasn't to do with what I wrote. Obviously, that bot became 2 years older in a month. ;-) Let's test again:
Okay. :-) Now there was no doubt: I was talking to a bot!
After writing some garbage, I thought it would be a good idea to tell the bot that I knew about it. Since then, there was no other message. :-) It seems that it reacts to the word "bot" or it understands "EOD".
Basically, writing such chat bots is a quite interesting and challenging discipline. They were around some years ago also on IRC and ICQ. Swedish music artist "Basshunter" even wrote a song about such a bot ("Boten Ana").
