As I noted last year, the Chatbots4u platform seems to be aimed at a younger, international crowd.

At the time, the most popular chatbots were clones of teen idols like Justin Bieber. Neither of those chatter bot instantiations were sexpots, in terms of their conversational databases. Cortana is based on the Halo video game character, who clearly.

“…But generally it could be targeting any type of chat forum in order to make contact” so avoid clicking on links received through any instant messages, even the simplest “hey, how’s it goin’? Not sure how this type of AI contextual chat would play out on social media sites like Facebook or Twitter or inside virtual worlds, but with the level of marcom sophistication, phishing scams and Facebook quizzes, games and apps usurping personal info I figure it’s just a matter of time before ‘flirt bots’ hit the texting, mobile, and friend of a friend profile poseurs, right?

Not sure how this specific flirt bot works or which type of chat is most vulnerable, but security vendor It’s no wonder we get reticent about so much “social sharing” trying to figure out the impact of ‘Google Buzz vs.

Both companies have gone through some changes since I tried them out over a year ago.

My Cber Twin was acquired by IBM back in the spring of this year.

At the time, I presented my findings about two virtual agent technology companies that I’d researched: My Cber Twin and Chatbots4

From tacky Stepford-style sexism and objectification weirdness to the brilliance of youth innovation and the first ever annual National Robotics Week …it’s pretty easy to see how robotics and technology past, present and future are making an impact, for better AND for worse.

As we ramp up toward Valentine’s Day, evidently some will stumble into looking for love in all the wrong places, according to PCAdvisor who is bracing for an attack of the “flirt bots.” Flirt bots have made their first reappearance since 2007’s “cyberlover” malware spree, so be wary of amorous advances and flattering cam coaxing, kiddies.

Nearly 50 years later, thousands -- maybe millions -- of chatbots populate the internet.

They are still seen as a benchmark in artificial intelligence and a common vessel for administering the Turing Test, which, boiled down, seeks to find an AI that can fool people into believing it's human.
