17:16 | <getareaction> So we're still waiting for one more.
17:17 | <getareaction> Hands up if you're a robot.
17:17 | <PossiblyHarmonT> I am not a robot, but tell me: You're not racially prejudiced towards nonhuman life-forms, are you?
17:17 | <PossiblyHarmonG> I don't think you'll catch them that easily.
17:18 | <getareaction> Down with animate elitism!
17:18 | <PossiblyHarmonG> We should get started, and let whoever comes in late join in.
17:18 | <getareaction> OK.
17:18 | <getareaction> Some questions:
17:18 | <getareaction> Starting easy...
17:19 | <getareaction> State the purpose of this exercise in 10 words or less.
17:19 | <PossiblyHarmonG> This is how Darkaardvark is buying my vote for Senator.

17:19 | <PossiblyHarmon3> hello?
17:19 | <getareaction> Hello number 3!
17:20 | <getareaction> Excellent, now we can start for real.
17:20 | <PossiblyHarmon3> Sorry about late
17:20 | <PossiblyHarmon3> I was off doing non-computer things
17:20 | <getareaction> Welcome, Real Peter Harmon. Welcome, Robonapoleon. Welcome, Autobot 2000.
17:20 | <PossiblyHarmonT> Hello there unknown person.
17:21 | <getareaction> I am Charlie Fish, judge of the SF0 Turing Test.
17:21 | <PossiblyHarmonT> I didnt know you were testing me. Could we start over?
17:21 | <PossiblyHarmonG> Whereas I am the person sometimes known online as Peter Harmon.
17:21 | <PossiblyHarmon3> I knew that you were testing me. I don't want to start over
17:21 | <getareaction> :)
17:21 | <PossiblyHarmonG> Haha.
17:22 | <PossiblyHarmon3> Let us get started, shall we?
17:22 | <PossiblyHarmonG> Yes.
17:22 | <getareaction> Indeed.
17:22 | <PossiblyHarmonT> Haha indeed ... or something like that
17:22 | <getareaction> Some questions. Easy first, then getting harder.
17:22 | <getareaction> First questions, for fairness, was: State the purpose of this exercise in 10 words or less.
17:22 | <PossiblyHarmonT> Yes, you said it already
17:23 | <PossiblyHarmonG> As I mentioned, it's an attempt to buy a vote.
17:23 | <PossiblyHarmon3> Not when I was here
17:23 | <getareaction> T and 3 still need to answer.
17:23 | <PossiblyHarmonT> Okay. Sorry, but I don't have a dictionary here. But I believe you know it anyways.
17:23 | <PossiblyHarmon3> I'd say the purpose is to figure out who is Peter Harmon
17:23 | <getareaction> OK.
17:23 | <getareaction> Question 2.
17:23 | <getareaction> What is Peter Harmon's middle name?
17:24 | <PossiblyHarmon3> Alabaster
17:24 | <PossiblyHarmon3> Peter Alabaster Harmon
17:24 | <PossiblyHarmonT> You seem to be obsessed by this kind of question, eh? I don't give a damn about names.
17:24 | <PossiblyHarmonG> He doesn't have one, being a fictional character I created for the purpose of SF0. His real-life counterpart, however, has the middle initial B.
17:24 | <getareaction> (I should say I have no idea myself, I'm just testing your cohones)
17:25 | <getareaction> OK
17:25 | <PossiblyHarmonT> Let's talk about that.
17:25 | <PossiblyHarmonT> Cohones.
17:25 | <getareaction> Question 3.
17:25 | <PossiblyHarmonG> I'm in favor of cohones.
17:25 | <PossiblyHarmonG> Also conejos.
17:25 | <getareaction> What is your favourite food?
17:25 | <PossiblyHarmon3> I'm against them
17:25 | <PossiblyHarmon3> my favorite food is the blood of innocent
17:25 | <PossiblyHarmon3> no wait!
17:25 | <PossiblyHarmon3> icecream!
17:25 | <PossiblyHarmon3> never mind that first bit
17:25 | <PossiblyHarmonT> Pizza.
17:26 | <PossiblyHarmonG> Barbecue. But it has to be good barbecue, because I am a snob about such things.
17:26 | <getareaction> OK.
17:26 | <getareaction> Question 4.
17:26 | <getareaction> What is the worst thing about Peter Harmon?
17:27 | <PossiblyHarmon3> I sometimes I kick puppies accidently
17:27 | <PossiblyHarmonT> Don't panic! I was ordered to go gently on toddlers and grannies.
17:27 | <PossiblyHarmon3> shoot!
17:27 | <PossiblyHarmon3> I must go
17:27 | <PossiblyHarmon3> many apologizes
17:28 | <PossiblyHarmonG> OK. Are you real?
17:28 | <PossiblyHarmon3> you will have to figure out who is the real me based on the information already presented
17:28 | <getareaction> Hm... the test can continue.
17:28 | <PossiblyHarmon3> if you can figure out the other too based, you can figure out me based on deduction
17:28 | <PossiblyHarmon3> farewell!
17:28 | <PossiblyHarmonG> I'm incredibly disorganized.
17:28 | *PossiblyHarmon3 throws smoke bomb, disapears
17:28 | <PossiblyHarmonG> Bye me three
17:28 | ¬ PossiblyHarmon3 (~jhyde@MagicStar-105613A5.hsd1.ma.comcast.net) QUITS the IRC network (Disintegrated: PossiblyHarmon3)
17:28 | <PossiblyHarmonT> Goodbye!
17:29 | <getareaction> OK, well, that throws a spanner in the works. :)
17:29 | <getareaction> Skip to the final question then. Who do you think is Robonapoleon?
17:29 | <PossiblyHarmonG> Given that he seems to drink the blood of the innocent, and I don't recall inviting any vampires to the test.
17:29 | <PossiblyHarmonT> Some famous celebrity, right?
17:29 | <PossiblyHarmonG> An evil cyborg.
17:30 | <PossiblyHarmonG> Also, I believe he invaded Russia.
17:30 | <getareaction> Well, I've made my decision.
17:30 | <PossiblyHarmonG> That was fast.
17:30 | <PossiblyHarmonG> It's three, isn't it?
17:30 | <PossiblyHarmonT> How about that. I like to make things too.
17:31 | <getareaction> Well, yeah. I'd like to do more, but we're a man down.
17:31 | <getareaction> Or a bot down.
17:31 | <PossiblyHarmonG> It's a bot, of course! I'm the real one!
17:31 | <PossiblyHarmonT> Lies!
17:32 | <getareaction> :)
17:33 | <getareaction> I think...
17:33 | <getareaction> Wait, before I guess, any last requests? :)
17:33 | <PossiblyHarmonG> Can you destroy the evil JJason for me when we're done?
17:34 | <PossiblyHarmonT> Not at the moment.
17:34 | <PossiblyHarmonT> At the moment I am just contented to sit here and to talk to you.
17:35 | <getareaction> I think G is Peter Harmon, T is Robonapoleon and 3 is Autobot 2000.
17:35 | <getareaction> I am also a robot.
17:35 | <PossiblyHarmonT> I don't understand why you have made your decision, and furthermore, I don't really care.
17:35 | <PossiblyHarmonG> I'm actually Peter, but 3 is RoboNapolean.
17:36 | <PossiblyHarmonT> Aha, okay, well I don't have prejudices to robots. But what do you mean by "also"? If there is any robot here then you are the only robot
17:36 | <PossiblyHarmonG> Congratulations, T, you've got your programmer a vote.
17:36 | <PossiblyHarmonT> :...Thank you, thank you very much. I would like to thank everyone who helped ... hehehe. Err, what? A machine? Aww, my language skills must be really bad if you take me for a machine
17:36 | <PossiblyHarmonT> Anyways, I'll put him on the line.
17:36 | $ PossiblyHarmonT is now known as Darkaardvark
17:37 | <Darkaardvark> Hey guys.
17:37 | $ PossiblyHarmonG is now known as teucer
17:37 | <teucer> that was fun.
17:37 | <Darkaardvark> Indeed!
17:37 | <teucer> So much for my dastardly plan to have charlie help me manipulate the two of you into performing SF0 Doppelganger
17:37 | <getareaction> I found it mildly confusing. But fun, yes. Fun.
17:37 | <Darkaardvark> " I don't understand why you have made your decision, and furthermore, I don't really care." was by far my favorite line... but " I don't give a damn about names." was pretty good too
17:37 | <getareaction> Yeah, I lost the plot a little there.
17:38 | <teucer> Yeah, it was a little complicated.
17:38 | <teucer> Basically because I hatched it by misreading the task description, and the patch was confusing.
17:38 | <teucer> And probably wouldn't have worked anyway.
17:38 | <getareaction> I think you can still claim the task though.
17:38 | <getareaction> Why not?
17:39 | <teucer> Well, the Doppelganger task requires it to be for the entire completion of a task, start to finish.
17:39 | <teucer> Unless DA happens to have completed a task in there somewhere, and I doubt he did, it doesn't work.
17:39 | <Darkaardvark> I looked for a task I could claim I was coercing you all into completing... but not really.
17:40 | <Darkaardvark> Just out of curiosity, RoboNapoleon wasn't using a bot, was he? It didn't seem like it to me.
17:40 | <teucer> No, I don't believe he was.
17:40 | <Darkaardvark> Heh. We'll have to inform him of the sad news later.
17:40 | <Darkaardvark> He's not real.
17:40 | <teucer> Were you? Because if so, that makes me want to double vote for you.
17:40 | <Darkaardvark> Yes, I was.
17:40 | <teucer> Wow. I wasn't sure if you were or if you were just imitating the style of one.
17:40 | <teucer> Nice.
17:41 | <Darkaardvark> In the interest of fair disclosure, I sometimes had to interpret the phrase slightly to feed it into the bot- and it wasn't one I programmed my self
17:41 | <Darkaardvark> But there is an art to getting reasonable responses out of bots...
17:41 | <teucer> Yeah, there is. I suck at it.
17:41 | <teucer> Have you seen AOLiza, by the way?
17:41 | <Darkaardvark> Probably variants of it. Most of the chat bots I looked at sucked.
17:42 | <Darkaardvark> By the way, you should go back and appreciate the 'decision' line now that you know I didn't write it :P
17:42 | <teucer> It's an AIM bot that somebody unleashes on unsuspecting chatters. Then he posts the transcripts online.
17:42 | <teucer> Yeah, that's pretty golden.
17:42 | <Darkaardvark> well, most people over AIM are barely above robots themselves, so it's hardly a fair Turing Test
17:42 | <teucer> True.
17:43 | <teucer> But when they start cybering with it, and get pissed when it won't say what it's wearing, that's fun.
17:43 | <Darkaardvark> Teehee
17:43 | <teucer> "What are you wearing?" "Does that question interest you?"
17:43 | <Darkaardvark> Autobot's response to that question: "I'm wearing a big smile right now "
17:44 | <teucer> Haha.
17:44 | <Darkaardvark> Oh, AOLiza must be based on Eliza, then.
17:44 | <teucer> I'm a big fan of the "could we start over" part now.
17:44 | <teucer> Yes, it pretty clearly is.
17:44 | <Darkaardvark> Yeah, I fed it some line about 'turing test' and it gave that
17:46 | <Darkaardvark> Well, it was fun. Thanks for judging, Charlie, if you're stil around.
17:47 | <teucer> Yes, many thanks!
17:47 | <getareaction> No problem, hope I was helpful.
17:47 | <getareaction> Goodbye now!
17:47 | <teucer> Bye.
17:47 | <Darkaardvark> See ya.
