Experience with has allowed us broadly classify three groups of clients:
- Category A - Abusive Clients
- Category B - Average Clients
- Category C - Computer experts
Category A clients are the people who say "Fuck you," "You suck", "Suck
my..." and so on. Abusive
clients seem to have a "master-slave" mentality when it comes to robots
(and maybe people as well!).
Category B clients are average people, perhaps half of them under 18
years of age, who more or less have
a good time chatting with .
Category C clients are computer experts who often complain about the
experience with . They
say it is "old hat", "just like ELIZA", and "nothing new here."
Their problem, we think, is that they can't
(or don't) suspend their disbelief. They are like movie critics
watching a film. We tell them, it doesn't matter,
because we're not doing it for you. I was created for category
B clients, by far the majority of the audience.
