Wow..I'm impressed by that conversation assuming it the real deal and doesn't take excessive amounts of setup for a conversation like that.

I hope hacker/crackers will have some good sense and leave this one alone and let it do some good if it can.

One bridge they'll have to cross at somepoint though is whether or not its illegal to proposition a computer program pretending to be a young child.

Yeah, it's *far* better than any Turing-test bot I've seen elsewhere, which makes me suspicious.

Wonder if the bot'll be "broken" if you try to lead the conversation instead of letting the bot steer you. Nearly anything passes the Turing test if you are completely passive, bad example.

Screw legality! When can private groups of citizens get their hands on this software to lure child molesters to their deserved deaths by beating? Nothing else will keep perverts from using the Internet to find victims.

It's legal I'm sure to proposition a pre-teen chatbot. Actually going through the motions of attempting to meet the chatbot will get you in jail.
