Are Any of "You" Real?

[whyBish]

That would be really creepy... Go to a forum full of people only to find it's really just full of AIs and  chat bots put there to screw with your head man...  :wacko:

Question everything!

Well, an AI would currently have the following characteristics (based on the best of breed, whic his, unfortunately, pitiful):
- Short posts (to avoid being exposed)
- Change or off topic often (to avoid having to know (parse) much about the subject under discussion)
- Standard set of responses to key words.
- Reflective listening techniques (i.e. restate what the last poster said, but as a question)

Now that you know what to look for, let the witch-hunt begin! :P

P.S. Is anyone else suspicious that Petes 'departure', and Docs 'arrival' coincide? :)
