Presumably it was written with a rudimentary set of responses for such situations, much like the Terminator 1 had a very short menu of verbal outputs to choose from. Do you guys remember it's preferred choice ?

I've seen equally articulate but slightly nonsensical prose from a student AI project trained on old english literature and a chinese dictionary. There are one or two forum members here who seem to often post divisive bites that generate unhappiness and argument. No doubt some of us are also contracted to do a bit of market research too. But they also put in lots of helpful stuff to build up empathy and reputation and they pass the Turing test so there will only ever be a finite number of them. Even a hundred new bots like Isabella each day could be a darned nuisance on the forum. Some NZ websites have been attacked with gigabits per second in the last week. So bots are potentially another thing altogether than human influencers and trolls. I hope our admin are onto it - not sure whether there's a technical defence against this dark art.
