Someone should suggest they join Hatrack. I think this is how the Cylons got started.

The whole conversation made me smile, especially when they are discussing what they think they are.

That's pretty cool.

I like how the conversation, despite being odd, is still intelligible. How much can these robots actually "learn" from talking to each other? Like, can they figure out which responses are likely to lead to circular arguments, and which ones are more likely to cause the conversation to move forward? I'd be interested to know how much work is going into actually making the words meaningful, so they have something more complex than just "hey, this response was used once before" to guide their selection.

If they can, maybe they could start posting here.
