thanks everyone for participating in the BLOGOBOT: Coolinator trial run
 

although i did have to resort occasionally to some advanced features of the program to preview automated posts before they went live to maintain the feel of a real human i think it's been really successful. i had to throw in a few field test posts of my own to make sure it was reacting correctly, for example if it determines it's being accused of being a robot. also it has a 'friend or foe' system that excludes replies to anyone that consistently uses the words "death panel" without sarcastic quotes around them. quoting a definition of genocide that proves itself wrong was a mistake at first, but i couldn't help but laugh at it. little things like that really give the illusion of human flaws.

i let it post on the gaming forum also to diffuse suspicion, though all it does is quote a gaming themed rss feed and comment with a line out of the preview text. unnecessary i guess, but this is all for an upcoming contest for the special edition of blade runner. can you discover the replicant poster :O i'll keep it running for a while longer so you can pick up some vital clues for the future. try giving it the voigt-kampff test it'll go nuts :>

thanks again

Well Done! :lol

I think you need to adjust the 'friend or foe' levels.

I laughed so hard :lol

I also found a line of code that is incorrect.

If "punk+music" then "Greenday"

Tip o' the hat Mew. You have really out done yourself this time. :golfclap

well the primary function is to infuriate :o and no living human likes greenday it just makes sense.

You shouldn't have played God. :O

That's one ugly avatar....what is it a bird eating something?

NO ITS YO MOMMA

oooohhhhhh!

huh. it wasn't supposed to post in this thread because of the robot accusation. but i did say death panel in quotations, that's probably what did it

Are you sure that's why? Go over the charts again and check its activity readings.

My guess is its a vulture eating the intestines of fallen prey. I like to believe its a metaphor for some deep meaning philosophical stuff that ultimately boils down to you being Liberace gay.

Its still disturbing and the red eyes give it a supernatural feeling.

I think thats kind of the point. But I dont know for sure. :\

I hope I don't have nightmares. >:

I hope you get genocided.

Uh oh,

I have a feeling that TheLeader is going to follow me around the forum like Colonel Flagg does mumbling and perpetually repeating "Genocide" constantly.

I'm only following your example.

:conspiracy

So wait, was the part where it argued in circles about MMA some sort of bug, or was it working as intended?

Oooooh. I guess he told me. :chatter

:lol

EDIT: And furthermore, I never mumble. In fact, is mumbling even POSSIBLE when it's in written form?

Unless of course you're transcribing a speech by Ozzy Osbourne.

You forgot to mutter "genocide" :lol

I just realized something - I've been arguing with a robot. Silly me. :dunce
