Well I don't think too highly of the Eliza computer, at least NOT in its more lurid hacked version, but as for other intelligent machines: such as possible androids and "robots", let it be said that perhaps they might one day, when they develop more and more free will, present a better civilization ...or at least one that is better in many aspects than the deteriorated one we humans now have . Perhaps they will develop a civilization WITHOUT such ugly monstrosities of pop culture and bad ideology such as reality t.v.,postmodernism / the SO-CALLED "shades of grey" ....worthless outlook known as relativism, MTV hypermedia, celebrity gossip, subdivisions of banal houses and apartments that all look vaguely alike, adult hardcore film , and the rest of similar murky,ambivalent, ugly garbage like that ! I'd rather have a civilization made up of virtuous androids with free will than one made up of the goofy crowd of Sex-and-the-City yuppie ,conformist twits any day of the week !

I think this bot will only get better with time, I am glad to see it passed the test, I wonder how long before they make a body for this bot to chat thru.

cool site!

I think Jason made some interested points in his post, but I get the chills when thinking about an android civilization.
