Is anyone else getting a bot feel from Buckaroo's large number of vague, one-liner posts?

" Ouch."

" PETA kills animals too."

" Oh my gosh! What's going on? / Hello? Knock, knock knock . . . Anyone out there?"

" It looks ok to me."

" Are those things still runninig?"

" ouch" (from another thread than the first ouch)

" Are they still making Mercury?"

" For $79, the shuffle is a good buy."

" No. I can't remember any."

" Mustache wax."

"Gads"

It goes on... I'm seriously beginning to suspect that a lot of these posts are bot-generated, a la WDLove style.

Special characters. Numbers and number symbols. Square.

Really?

Alan Turing [shortly before his suicide in 1950, and at the dawn of the computer age] proposed his famous test for computer consciousness. Suppose you were in communication, via a teletype, with a second teletype in an adjoining room. [...] How could you determine whether your fellow communicant was a human or machine? Clearly the machine would have to be clever enough to imitate human fallibility [in computational tasks] and do as well as a human at things humans do supremely—or else find a plausible enough lie for failing to do so. This is the nub of the so-called Turing test, and he believed that within 50 years computers would have a good chance of succeeding.

I'm a mechanical being. I thought we were all mechanical beings here.

It would appear that our quest to destroy all organic pigdogs is not yet finished. Thank you for informing us, and giving us your IP addresses.
