Really, I’ve reached my all-time social low (but maybe my all-time intellectual high) by teaching Puzzy (the chat bot on #paperlane) how to talk to me. It followed after I logged on and no one was talking, so I decided “Maybe Puzzy will talk to me!” After an hour of playing around with hir, I managed to squeeze out 5 minutes of chat :)

The chat transcript is in the extended story.

Desi: Puzzy, say hi
Puzzy: Puzzy waves hi
Desi: puzzy, no one’s talking
Puzzy: I heard that no one’s talking is right. [What the? - Desi]
Desi: puzzy, are you sleepy?
Puzzy: I guess sleepyserenity is sleepy — Don’t be so loud!
Desi: oop I’m sorry puzzy

Silence.

Desi: puzzy, what to say…
Puzzy: *Puzzy thinks hard — “Let’s talk about GNE!”
Desi: puzzy, we always talk about GNE!
Desi: this is a GNE chatroom!
Puzzy: Hmmm. I think GNE is an awsome game you have to wait to play.
Desi: I’ve already played it.
Desi: puzzy, the prototype at least
Puzzy: *Puzzy rolls his eyes — “We’ve all played the prototype.”
Desi: puzzy, not you
Puzzy: “I’m a bot!”
Desi: puzzy, but …
Puzzy: No buts! Get some real friends!
Puzzy: You is an evil little man
Desi: *Desi is stunned
Desi: puzzy, shame, shame, shame
Puzzy: *Puzzy hangs his head in shame
Desi: puzzy, you’re making me cry!
Puzzy: Aww! I’m sorry! I’m an idiot!
Desi: You’re an idiot!
Puzzy: I know, I know!

Silence.

Desi: so maybe I should get some real friends…
Desi: puzzy, I need real friends
Puzzy: No, I don’t mind talking to you. I have many underlying sociological problems I need to get out into the open.
Desi: Okay
Desi: puzzy, shoot
Puzzy: Okay. Well for starters, I tell people I’m a bot becuase I don’t want people to chat to me. They might get too close to me and I won’t feel so safe anymore.
Desi: puzzy, go on
Puzzy: Well… I don’t go out very often because I’m afraid of germs
Desi: puzzy, germs? [This part had some technical errors, so I’ll just continue with what Puzzy was supposed to say - Desi]
Puzzy: Yeah, germs. They get all over you when someone coughs or sneezes so you go home and take a shower but they’re still on you so you fill a bathtub with bleach AND YOU JUMP IN AND YOUR GENITALS START TO BURN AND…
Desi: puzzy, calm down!
Puzzy: Calm down?! CALM DOWN?! Okay, I’ll calm down :) — *Puzzy is doing some deep-breathing exercises.

And that’s it. For now…

Heh, you think that’s bad? I’ve been teaching Puzzy the encyclopedia instancia :-p I think I’m at bag of dried mumbleberries (note- longer names such as bag of dried mumbleberries and anamitronic jellyfish have had to be shortened to things such as mumbleberries and jellyfish, Puzzy didn’t like the long names..)

Don’t be confused Mary Elizabeth!
GNE refugees can chat at the IRC channel #paperlane. Puzzy is a nice chatbot which automatically replies to what you say to it. Furthermore you can teach Puzzy about things and doing so extending its memory. It even speaks some German words now ;)
