Fun With Bots (Now, on GChat!): Chat with juicyqt72
I’ve posted other fun chat logs with bots in the past. This one seems to be pretty much a slightly modified variant on the old ones from six or so years ago.
Funny that this one lies about its age. The name is juicyqt72, which indicates that, born in 1972, “she’d” be 39, yet “she” claims to be 24 in the first response.
Previously, previously, previously, previously, and previously.
Bonus: this never quite explained thing from 2003 where Google was crawling IRC conversations that one time.

Who Do You Trust?
Is it a bad thing that I tend to trust machines over humans?
Obviously, not in every single case. There are certain exceptions.
All things being equal, though, were I to come across a human stranger or a strange machine, I think I’d be more likely to trust the machine to perform up to expectations over the human.
What I’m not self-aware enough to know is whether that’s an innate trait of mine, or a bias built from experience with humans and machines.
This is how the trouble starts [Carnivorous Robots]
I read a story a long time ago (I forget the author or even the title) that talked about a world that evolved on one of the moons of Jupiter – it was an entire ecosystem that mirrored our own consisting entirely of robots. I’ll refrain from synopsizing the entire plot here, but it sparked my imagination at the time, because it made it seem entirely plausible.
Things like these robots only do more to solidify that belief.
