Chatbots: Not Just for AIM Anymore
R. Alex Whitlock
To those of you who don't care about this, I apologize. This has racked up a lot of interest in Google quarters, though, so I'm back on the Cyberfungirls at Cyberfungirls.com. The latest newsflash is that it is apparently not limited to AIM anymore. This guy found it on YAHOO! Messenger (Names have been changed to protect the innocent):
Session Start (Yahoo! - Some Guy On YAHOO!:YAHOO! Chatbot): Mon Aug 26 10:53:20 2002
YAHOO! Chatbot: hi :) wanna chat?
Some Guy on YAHOO!: who dis?
Y! Chatbot: asl (age sex location)?
SGoY!: m/22
SGoY!: you?
Y! Chatbot: 24/f/new york
SGoY!: cool. howd you find me?
Y! Chatbot: so what are you up to SGoY!?
SGoY!: i'm trying to figure out some stuff here at work.
Y! Chatbot: cool. i was just hangin out. kinda bord.. kinda horny :)
SGoY!: lol
Y! Chatbot: feel like cybering with me ? please please...
Y! Chatbot: should i take that as a yes?
SGoY!: nah. not into cybering. sorry.
Y! Chatbot: hold on. lets get a simple yes or no answer. you are of age and you want to cyber with me?
SGoY!: plus I already got my sex this morning. real thing's always better.
Y! Chatbot: ok, i can take a hint.. but you should check out the pictures i have of me on my site.. you might change ur mind.. check it out http://www.cyberfungirls.com/~/ (I'm not gonna whore her like she does herself.)
SGoY!: i'm at work. is it tasteful that I won't get into trouble?
SGoY!: only wanted to cyber?
SGoY!: so what if i did change my mind?

Some guy named Jeff reports what would appear to have been a beta version of my cherished Spambot:
no0key_co0kie: hi :-) wanna chat?
Chatbot Beta: i have a few pics on my site.. im not ugly.. http://www.cyberfungirls.com/elisabeth/ dont you wanna chat???
Some Guy Named Jeff: hey aren't you that chick from that holeinmypants page?
SGNJ: that chat approach seems awfully familiar.....
SGNJ: anyway what happened the other night? we never finished our cyber session....

Another guy named Trevor ran into the same one.

Not that I want to neglect other people's run-in with the real thing! (accept no immitations)
In this episode of Adventures of a Chatbot, Cyberfungirl Elisabeth reveals her bisexuality:
Chatbot: hi :-) wanna chat?
Some Girl on Some Chat Program: eh, ok?
Chatbot: asl (age sex location)?
Chatbot: 24/f/new york
SGoSCP: 18/f/lv
Chatbot: so what are you up to SGoSCP?
SGoSCP: nothing 0o
Chatbot: cool. i was just hangin out. kinda bord.. kinda horny :-)
Chatbot: feel like cybering with me ? please please...
SGoSCP: Oh, are you one of those porn things?
Chatbot: should i take that as a yes?
SGoSCP: I was wondering why your warning level was so high XD
SGoSCP: So, technically your not real
Chatbot: hold on. lets get a simple yes or no answer. you are of age and you want to cyber with me?
SGoSCP: You're just programmed to bug me
Chatbot: ok, i can take a hint.. but you should check out the pictures i have of me on my site.. you might change ur mind.. check it out http://www.cyberfungirls.com/elisabeth/
SGoSCP: No, I don't want to
SGoSCP: I don't swing that way
SGoSCP: I thought I could just talk to you :'(, but no one wants to hear my problems
SGoSCP: You're all the same!>:-(

And a sneak peak at next week's episode, where we discover that Cyberfungirl Elisabeth must be a blonde because she can't decipher chatspeak:
AIM Chatbot: feel like cybering with me ? please please...
Some Girl on AIM: ...
SGoAIM: LOL
AIM Chatbot: should i take that as a yes?
It's ironic after long and deep ponderings on the whole Torricelli mess and other thoughtfulness to come, I will probably forever be known as the Cyberfungirl guy...

Observations

I got annoyed with the frequency that I got spammed by this particular chatbot. The "Intelligence" behind it would create a new Y! ID every month like clockwork, and I would get contacted by it.

So I finally decided to check into the HOST of the CyberFunGirls site itself. That would be mycyberhosting.com. I looked at their ToS, http://www.mycyberhosting.c... and if you take a peek as well, you will see how use of that chatbot to advertise is a violation of several points of that acceptable use policy.

However, mycyberhosting refuses to remove the site.

So please, if you are also being harassed, take a step in the right direction. visit this page http://www.mycyberhosting.n... and contact the OWNER of mycyberhosting (the sales and billing contact) and point out exactly how you believe that this cyberfungirls is violating their stated and declared Acceptable Use Policy.

Comment spam is an ongoing problems that we're trying to address. Previously we required people to create accounts and log in. I am thankful to say that is no longer the case. We're giving Captcha another try and are playing around with a text-based Q&A variant of Captcha. So bear with us as we try to figure out how to best get a handle ont he problem. Please note that any comment on a post more than 30 days old will go into the moderation queue, where I will get to it when I can which could be once a week.
