How can we characterize the audience for chat bots?
A long time ago we wrote about 3 types of clients chatting with ALICE: A, B and C.
Group A are the abusive people, who talk to the bot with aggressive language, insults and sexually explicit language. About 10% of the clients fall into this group.
B people are “average” people who seem to enjoy chatting with the Alice. They comprise about 80% of the clients.
Group C people are “critics” or “computer scientists” or “cognitive scientists” who try the bot briefly, and then walk away with a dismissive comment like “it’s random” or “it’s just like ELIZA”. They are aggressive in a different way, the “Turing Test Judges” who ask the bot socially awkward questions like “Which is bigger, a 747 or my big toe?’ They comprise about 10% of the clients.
Are SpellBinder bots “random”?
