SmarterChild II: The Return of Smarterchild!

Heh. My AIM client will let me auto-reply to a message every time someone sends me one. I had some fun with Eric Capps and Felix with this, and then I had the brilliant idea of doing it to SmarterChild. Here is the result:

AIM IM with Smarterchild

2:12 PM

Seth Johnson: Hello?

Smarterchild: Hi sethrj, I'm SmarterChild!

I'm your new robot friend.



May I ask you a few general questions? (To do this later, type "skip." You can also skip any question.)

Sent auto-reply:

Seth Johnson: Hello.

Smarterchild: Sorry, I need to know if I can ask you some questions first. Type "yes," "no" or "skip."

Sent auto-reply:

Seth Johnson: Hello.

Smarterchild: OK! I guess that means you don't want to answer any questions. That's cool. If you ever change your mind, type "interview me."



There is one question I have to ask you, though. How old are you?



1 Over 17

2 13-17
