Nov 04 2010   Oh. This. This is beautiful.    I need about six
of these. I need the “race realist” bot, the “men are just
smarter” bot, the gun nut bot, the anti-vax bot, the libertarian
bot, and the evangelical/creationist bot. Then, once I don’t
have to keep repeating myself on those topics, I’ll probably
need about six more, since I’ll have time again to spend on
evaluating and formulating new sets of arguments.  Would it do
any good? Looking for some kind of external metric, it’s hard to
say. I don’t know that these kinds of arguments ever convince
anyone. I do know, however, that they rarely change and their
proponents are generally dogged. This means that chatbots like
this can waste plenty of time that these people would otherwise
spend trying to spread misinformation and information-free
jingoism. That, in itself, would be worthwhile, as would freeing
up more of the time of the people who currently go out of their
way to combat this kind of nonsense.  So, who’s in?   Skip to
