Toying with the Stupid Chat Bot
May. 29th, 2012 09:03 pm(Warning! This post contains some rude words, and is not appropriate for minors. I know you're all going to ignore this aren't you?)
Some background first. For some reason I still have a Yahoo! Messenger account, even though I'm not sure I actually know anyone who still uses it. It's been well and truly replaced by Facebook chat, Google Chat and indeed Skype. But my chat client, Pidgin can connect to multiple accounts, and I've included Yahoo! into the list it automatically logs into.
One reason Yahoo! Messenger sucks is because it has appalling security. So every now and then, random people and random Chat-Bot's will start conversations with you in an attempt to entice you to their p0rn website or whatever.
This happened to me today, and rather than just blocking it outright, I decided to engage it in conversation. This is the "conversation" that ensued.( Read on if you dare )
Actually, reading it again, it might have been a human... Just a very very stupid one :-)
