Sample 'bots:
I should have said in my first post what Ken Steele
just asked me about -- there are some chatterbots,
but not quite what I want, at http://www.botspot.com/
Some of these (maybe all) run off a server rather than
in your browser. This makes me a little uneasy that
the 'conversations' can be recorded -- in fact, at least
one chat bot 'learns' from the conversations that it has,
so it is extracting information. I'm rewriting Eliza in
JavaScript, in part so I can promise that nobody is
listening. Ken told me a cautionary tale which I'll repeat ---
> I have heard of chatbots being used to fool players in MUDs. ...
> (One of the more famous versions I heard about at that time was
> a female who would engage in sexual foreplay with your
> character. Presumably this was a private conversation, but was
> supposedly broadcast to the rest of the players for their
> amusement...
