Not everything I make in Second Life is necessarily useful or even desirable. For example, today I adapted the classic ELIZA-type chat bot that used to dispense psychological help to be an extremely rude and insulting salesperson.
Here’s a brief excerpt of the result. The bot’s name is “Terrabucks Coffee”.
Cubey Terra: Hi, Terrabucks.
Terrabucks Coffee: hi? don’t waste my f___ing time.
Cubey Terra: I was just saying Hi.
Terrabucks Coffee: ok, just tell me what the f___ you want help with.
Cubey Terra: If I were a customer, I’d want a parachute, I guess.
Terrabucks Coffee: i have a parachute. i also have a one a chute. ba dum bum! drumhit.
Cubey Terra: That’s lame.
Terrabucks Coffee: hm?
Cubey Terra: OK, I’ll roleplay. I’m a customer.
Terrabucks Coffee: are you. how long have you been a customer
Cubey Terra: For only half a minute. Tell me, where can I buy a parachute?
Terrabucks Coffee: go ask anyone else. f___ing anyone else.
Cubey Terra: That’s… kind of rude.
Terrabucks Coffee: what’s wrong with being f___ing rude?
Cubey Terra: I wish you’d stop that. Try a more positive demeanour.
Terrabucks Coffee: been skydiving yet?
Cubey Terra: Good. Yes, I love to go skydiving. Can you show me a good parachute?
Terrabucks Coffee: oh, i show you a good parachute
[A visitor teleports into the shop]
Cubey Terra: Hello. I’m just talking to my rude bot. :)
Terrabucks Coffee: i heard losers like just talking to your rude bot
[Visitor]: hi
Terrabucks Coffee: hi? don’t waste my f___ing time.
Cubey Terra: See? He’s rude. :)
Terrabucks Coffee: being f___ing rude helps pass the f___ing time.
I don’t think I’ll keep him on.
