Reading transcripts from the qualifying round for the 2018 Loebner Prize, in which chatbots try to pass the Turing Test. There's a certain poetry to ineffective answers. I’ll post the most entertaining on this thread. [name of chatbot in brackets]

🤔 Apparently after a while all messengers need an app store. Here is a huge update from @intercom: x.com/padday/status/98877552…

Replying to @Padday
1. Before now Messengers only supported chat. We now have a brand new place called Messenger Home that acts as a front desk for your business. It connects customers to the right people or answer depending on who they are what they need. You can completely customise it.
Facebook stops accepting new bots on its Messenger platform for now. messenger.fb.com/newsroom/me…
