- Why is everyone thinking some sort of AI is involved when natural
- stupidity is more than adequate to account for it? Think of it...
- the morons backing Argic wrote a fairly decent Eliza type program
- (nearly as detached from reality as Racter); or one weenie (or a group
- of them) who's managed to type in a bunch of articles and got a
- government grant to figure out how to grep or the equivalent, and
- posts even when he greps something unrelated because he's either
- really not very bright, or just doesn't care? There was some guy on
- alt.activism who basically did the same thing. He had a bunch of
- typed/scanned articles and instead of actually defending/attacking
- something, which he wasn't very good at, he'd just repost the same
- articles, or other ones if he had enough on the subject.
-
- Certainly some of the answers seem a bit strange and detached, but
- what do you expect? Calling Serdar an AI would be quit a compliment.
