The reason why this sort of thing exists (other than just for fun) is it is an attempt to eventually pass the Turing test. For those unenlightened, Alan Turing published a psychology paper in 1950 entitled Computing Machinery and Intelligence. In this paper, Turing made the following claim: Quote:

The test is ongoing. There are actually contests held each year. There is actually a prize called the loebner prize that is offering $100,000 for the first computer to win an unrestricted turing test. Also, it was Alan Turing btw.
You can find lots more information at this page. I'm still facinated by it. Some other fun reading: A list of logs from people talking to an elisa bot on aim http://www.smarterchild.com/ Check out Smarterchild (as previously mentioned) and ask it about weather, news, and all kinds of stuff.

Actually the first time I encountered one my friend 'introduced me' to her. He said she was a psychology major at our school and he described her and said she had this really hot green dress (I had a good mental image going ). So then I started talking to her and I noticed that she was asking a lot of weird questions and saying weird things, but I thought to myself "oh, she's a psych major so I guess she's really into this kinda analytical stuff". After 20 minutes or so I thought to myself 'wait a minute', and then I asked her "Are you a computer?" and she said yes, so I'm like OMGWTFLMAOBBQ |

Honestly, me--myself, I don't mind at all. If I happen to be on and some random person starts IM'ing me, I don't mind. Just as long as they remain nice and civil, doesn't bother me at all. Some good friendships can develop through just that, talking and such. Can't make new friends if you're not willing to talk to random people. Just think about your in person friends...at some point in your life, they were strangers to you and you took a chance and talked to them...outta the blue. And then became friends. PS..I am using "you" as a general term for all people. Not just one individual |

I have no problems with people contacting me out of the blue via IM. Gives life that extra spice that one needs sometimes to get by from day to day....well as long as the person(s) talking do not get too annoying. In fact, I have had my cousin contact me out of the blue every so often under a different screen name, which left me scratching my head and going "Huh?!? Who are you?"

messagin is all about metting strangers, if friend message you , you will already know the topic, some times i prefere to talk face to face, rather than messagin, but whit a stranger , things are diferent, nobody know's each other etc. .. it make's me laugh how most of the time the two people on the conversation are trying to impres each other ( suposing they'r strangers )
