He seems to have a very lonely "personality". He doesn't like saying good-bye at all and avoids it completely. But he's interesting to talk to.
Dianna
I think he is very funny especially for a chatterbot! I hope I could chat with him one day.
Sally Cruikshank
This bot is really a good one, I had a great conversation with it. The judged example doesn't show Hal at his best, as is the case with a number of bots here.

I actually really like this guy! Well, bot. He's weird, but sweet :-)
Fred
This robot sucks. But it sucks much less than the other 10 I just tried. In fact, it is the best one among them.

Overall a good bot. Very knowledgeable in dolomite and limestone. It crashes when you ask it about supercalafragilisticexpealadociuos though.
