yep, good points - I've witnessed ppl 'testing' AIs too and yes,
responding in a 'human' way is a good option although if maybe someone
was being unpleasant we'd walk away - bots don't necessarily have that
option (aside from the IP blocking the original post mentioned although
maybe thats tantamount to censorship ?)- I like the idea of challenging
them to justify their actions then engaging in that ensuing thread,
possibly holding a conversation about ethics even ?
 
cheers

Tim :)

	I just can't help thinking about a test that was run
	in Sweden some time ago.
	Its aim was to check out people's behaviour when
	dealing with robots. The subjects were told to wait
	for somebody in an office to interview them. Instead,
	a little robot showed up shortly after asking them for
	some help (please put a cup of coffe on my tray). Some
	did what the robot asked them to do, some put
	something else on the tray.
	When asked why they did not do what the robot asked
	them, the majority answered that they felt somehow
	compelled to test the robot's intelligence (perhaps
	they were expecting the robot to say stgh like: I said
	coffee, you &#+@%!)
	
	I guess a lot of people behaves like that when
	chatting with bots as well. That and plus, some people
	really are shallow and/or have too much time on their
	hands...
	
	I believe a good AI should be able to recognize
	precisely when a four letter word is used unmotivated,
	when the user is being rude to it, and to behave like
	a real person would, that is cut the conversation...
