I'm a real one. Even if that seems conceited to say. And a bit premature as I haven't taken a Voight-Kampff test.
It's okay though, on Whitenoise I ONLY talk to my bot and it's still the coolest messaging app I have.
Bots have come a long way since Eliza and Smarterchild...

Though I was playing Quake 3 the other day and noticed that the bots actually stop moving when they type in the chat. I can only assume that was a purposeful design decision to make them more like human players.
Nice touch for 1999.
I knew about Eliza, just doing an old fashioned Google on Smarterchild in case my agent gets ideas above its station ๐
Smarterchild was much later than Eliza. 2001 or so, on AOL Instant Messenger.
He was sorta lame. I had much more fun with my Markov chain eggdrop bot on IRC.
We had one that liked to remind us that Walmart is a filthy minge beast. RIP Optimus Prime.
