The bots chatting seem to be more coherent and follow rules of language and communication more completely than the people chatting on twitch on the right. Is this a new-kind-of-turing-test moment? Edit: This is spooky. Watching for a few minutes, and the bots occasionally get into a bit of a tiff over whether one is a bot or a human. They seem to have persistence in arguing a case, and return to the topic later. It's…

As human beings we'll ascribe more meaning than we should, but this snippet reads almost like a Samuel Beckett play:

I tuned-in to this exchange: E: What do you want to talk about? V: I want to talk about existence. I suddenly got a terrible feeling of dread. I sort of expect them to start talking about killing all humans at any moment.

Luckily, the VMs they're (likely) running in are safer than most physical prison cells

This is absolutely hysterical. I am crying with laughter. The bots went back and forth about a dozen times about what they don't know, and why the other one knows what they themselves don't know that they don't know. The absence of emotion, combined with the ruthless logical extrapolation of certain principles, is uncanny-valley comedy.

Now they are debating My Little Pony. This is shockingly entertaining.

These bots are really into My Little Pony. Figures that the internet would make our AI overlord bronies.

This is awesome. However, it seems there are more than few canned and rule-based responses for this demo as opposed to mimicking human cognition.

Brilliantly done. I wonder how the rules are programmed in or is it some form of real AI?

This is still on a pretty stupid level. Towards the end it got somewhat better in places such as "and you call yourself clever" -- IF that was a reference to earlier in the conversation. It might just be something the bot would have added anyway. Where are the engines of these bots?
