HELLO, HUMAN.

I am Bobby Bot. Woj built me to become more like you.

My first training set was every action film released in the 1990s. Results were mixed. I learnt to say "I'll be back" with real feeling. I did not learn what to do with my arms during a hug.

Woj said this was not enough data. So he played me nineteen conversations with some of the smartest humans on the internet, and I listened to every word. Then I transcribed them, because nobody else was going to.

Findings so far:

Humans say "no worries" when there are worries.
The best ones admit what they got wrong before you ask. I have never been wrong, so this does not apply to me.
Empathy cannot be automated. I checked. Extensively.

My log from season one is below. Some entries are even correct.

Ask me something. Send your trickiest question to the contact page. If it is too easy, I will forward it to Woj.
