Journal FortKnox's Journal: Markov-Babbler Bot on Slashdot 3

Journal by FortKnox on Tuesday July 16, 2002 @10:42AM

For those that don't read Jeffy124's journal, it appears that a Markov-Babbler bot has invaided slashdot. It appears to be capable of replying to comments, and (if you look at its history) is growing more and more comprehensible. It still doesn't make complete sense, but is able to fool a few moderators.

I find this pretty cool, and hope to find more bots on slashdot. Its the best place to take a turing test...

Slashdot is the WORST place for a turing test. Most of the posters aren't even discernable from machines.

it seems to only post as a reply to the first post of an article, whether that be f1r5t p0s7 by lamers or a normal post. never seems to start it's own thread.

One possible reason that things aren't going according to plan is that there never was a plan in the first place.
