The Chatterbot collection
contains links to hundreds of chat bots available on the internet
The page also has a list of robots in movies and robots in tv shows

There are some fine links in this lot. The documentation section is also more interesting than it's name might suggest.

There are days I wonder if the whole course of human evolution isn't tending to turn human beings into chat bots. Especially think so when dealing with telephone trees. Or waiting for tech support... Interesting links -- thanks, dng.

My conclusion, after experimenting with chatterbots a couple of years ago, was that AOL users desperately need to get laid.

Amen to that rolypolyman, amen to that! What is the point of chatbots? I'm confused.

What is the point of chatbots? To create the perfect robot sex doll

What is the point of chatbots? I thought they were going to protect us from paedophiles?

I mean, you don't want a robot sex doll to suddenly start talking about the weather or gardening in the middle of coitus, do you? You might as well sleep with the wife. For robot sex, I reckon an occasional "Unh, unh!" is quite sufficient - and I'm prepared to supply that myself.

Not to derail, but does anyone know where to find the page about that bot that started out friendly, but during cybersex would start conjuring up D&D spells? ("I turn you on your ass, roll 9, and summon the shaft of doom!", etc) I thought it was FPP'd here or on MeFi.

Talk to a chatterbot from the Save The Robots exhibition at The Ark in Dublin a couple of years ago. Reminded of this by Homunculus' post on Ned Kahn's kinetic sculpture. Spent ages looking at that and now I've just spent half an hour trying to teach Bearbot about Half Man Half Biscuit. Sigh. Anything to avoid doing the ironing.
