Okay, I am now well involved in the phenomenon that is twitter, and for those interested it is
http://twitter.com/dannystaple.
I have been thinking about AI's and chatbots for twitter and will be figuring out which I can adapt myself. However, there are plenty of clever tweeps out there who might be able to code their own or adapt something.
Bring out your Twitter AI's! If you simply pipe twitter to Alice or Eliza, or even Psychoanalyze-pinhead, code your own complete AI, dust off and bring out NIALL then I want to know here.
So here - put your best twitter chat bot forward - a link to twitter to follow, as a comment, and tell us a little about how it is written. I will be getting people to test it from around the twitterverse (is that a word?) at silly hours of the day, to ensure it really is a bot (it may be hard to prove this bit).
So go on - give us your best, chattiest bot - I want to hear from you. Let the
OrionRobots Twitter Turing Test Begin!
For those who want a short name, I am thinking Twuring!
Rules:
- Must be on twitter - with its own profile.
- Twitter profile should state it is a bot, and an entry to twuring.
- Be prepared to tell us a little of how you did it (enough to prove it is a bot and not a fake) - a link to a blog/article about how you did it would be good.
Update:
This is now being tracked (including a twitter widget to see recent activity) on
