Should the chatterbot have a gender, be a man or a woman?
Make your bot a gender, but for your own risk 🙂 Yep – gender and sexuality is a very difficult theme. If your bot is female you must expect a lot of questions about “bra size” and undergarments and more funny or not so funny intimate details like this. The originally “Doctor Eliza” chatterbot seems bo be female, but in a very professional, distant form. On the other hands there are some very horny and girlish chatterbots around the net – mostly professionals too. But it COULD be funny to make a bot for instance like a 10 year old girl, or like a old lady from victorian era. If you dont now how to do, or if you a man (and mostly all programmers are men), take help by your wife or your girlfriend, to generate the bot’s responds – and dont be frighten: women sometimes have very strange and deceiving figments of the imagination …
