If it is a bot it's a darn good one. Most of them don't carry on sensible conversations. I've seen this particular one over at PP as well.


I'm guessing it's an android bot. Most of it is ai generated but somewhere in a country where english isn't the main language there are one or more humans customizing the bot text. It hasn't caught on yet, or doesn't much care, that this forum isn't plagued by business types pushing sales presentations and has no use for their, er, "product."

I think it is a bot - there are spamlinks to the same URL on my site as well. We better close down the internet before this gets out of hand!


What a novel idea, Laurens.   Haven't thought about doing some consultancy on the side for the Chinese guvmint, maybe.   :laugh:  Or you could consult for Hilary.   Oops, strayed into US politics.    :tonofbricks:

They're becoming scarier than the original Daleks on Dr Who, circa 1963.   :shocked:

Ah, well, in that case, frailer, maybe we don't even need a firewall, just a sturdy doorsill!
