Hmm.. Yahoo Chatbots got more smarter these days .. here is a screenshot .. :



I searched for more info on Yahoo Chat bots and found quite a lot of resources on it ... It can be used for just anything ... Hmm... I got ideas ...

IMO, Yahoo Chatbots are as dumb as ever.
the point is, when a user questions a bot, that reply is getting smarter.

here, the bot does give the user some doubt, that it is not a bot but an actual person.

but again,

yes, this reply does convince us.
bots are idiot as ever.
the reply makes it too obvious it is a bot.

Nah .. That was my point .. When it says "Was it some kind of insult ?" I am really intrigued .. I think "Gee I think its some distant frnd or something" .. Imagine some novice users .. Who are just new to chatting .. they can be easily fooled by these things ..All the bot wants is to make you click on some links from which the endless cycle starts ..
Its true it can be easily found out its a bot by experienced users like us but think about people who dont actually know there are something called bots in cyberspace too .. There are many people that I personally know who'd be fooled by this ..

got your point.
yes, a new chatroom user can easily be fooled by this, even old timers too.

One of my friends; who despite being frequent in chatrooms for some months, didn't know that those are bots. He thought it was some girl out there

[it_waaznt_me]

[freakitude]

Also notice the deliberate spelling mistakes in there; especially in the beginning. That's another giveaway. You can't expect a real person, and a total stranger at that, attempting to strike a conversation will make such moronic errors.

Man these chatbots and IM spammers are pain in the "you know what". I had to pu 3 of my friends on ignore list coz there accounts were IM spamming me like anything.
