[davidn]

(07:03:43) Carmen: hi

(07:03:52) MSN: Hi.

(07:03:59) Carmen: hi how are you today?

(07:04:16) MSN: Not so bad. Yourself?

(07:04:26) Carmen: my name is paris I'm doing great today I'm 21 yrs old how old are you?

(07:05:12) MSN: Old enough to realize that you'd probably fail the Turing Test.

(07:05:32) Carmen: listen hun, I am just about to start my webcam show with jen, come chat me there in my chat room? We can cyber, I will get naked if u do..lol!

(07:05:41) MSN: Lol indeed.

(07:06:01) Carmen: I can show u how to watch free if u promise not to tell anyone else how to do it???PLEASE:-$

(07:06:20) MSN: Just me and the other million people you've added? Ace.

(07:06:50) Carmen: well since its free the law that u gotta be 18 (nudity involved), u have to sign up with a credit card for age verification! BUT .. Once you are inside, just clikc on "Webcams" let me know what name you use to sign in with so I know it is you babe! http://www.slags-r-us.com/anonymized fill out the bottom of the page then fill out the next page as well and u can see me live for free!

(07:07:03) MSN: As simple as that, eh?

(07:07:23) Carmen: Please dont mention anything about that in the chatroom once u get in ok?:-$

(07:08:00) MSN: Not to worry - if I were mug enough to be fooled by anything like this I'd probably want to keep it under my hat anyway.

(07:08:20) Carmen: OH SHIT.. k I am late to start my show, I gotta get off msn...I will see ya inside my chatroom babe.. remember not to mention that I am upgrading u for free... You can use your msn name to sign in so i know it is you..

(07:09:08) MSN: Stops you having to write any more scripted responses? I was wondering when they were going to run out.

(07:09:09) Carmen: AUTO-RESPONSE: hey just in the middle of my free webcam show if you want to watch click the link http://www.slags-r-us.com/anonymized

(07:09:23) MSN: Ah well, it was fun while it lasted.

(07:09:52) MSN: By the way, you could at least get a better profile picture. She looks like she's just fallen into a hedge.

Decent script at least, in terms of plausibility, if someone were to bite! "my name is paris I'm doing great today", sounds a little awkward but they're covered if you say "fine thanks how are you" or if you say "who is this"...

Her username is Carmen and her "real" name is Paris? Smart bot.

Yep, this looks so familiar to me I knew exactly what the bot was going to say the second I'd read the first line.

Your examples made me realize that, as the bot's responses are meant to actually look like IMs, I'm probably the less believable human in that conversation for including capitalization and punctuation.

Slags R Us?

Brilliant

Hahahah. Thoroughly entertaining stuff. I love how 'her' responses are completely robotic and yet your conversation with 'her' comes out quite organic.
