Take the Stone Age “eliza” program (a simple software bot that responds rather stupidly to questions and comments you type to it) …
… tweak it to add a bunch of sexual responses …
… set it up on a “sex chat” IRC, full of people who can’t type, write, or otherwise compose a coherent sentence …
… and you end up with a bunch of people who really think they’re having chat room sex with someone.
And we’ve got the logs to prove it.
reduz asked me to make the eliza bot better. i’m not smart enough to make like neural networks and natural language parsing and contextual branching decision matrices, but i sure as hell know how to talk like a guy pretending to be a dumb girl. it is sort of like
jenny18: heeeeeyyyy how r u? =) wanna sex? lol
