if someone can propose to me an ai that would work and have sustained activity i'll definitely implement it. i just don't see a need when we can have and are having debates in flames that are intelligent and entertaining. (yes, because it's flames, there's also some retardation and idiocy, but you take the good and you take the bad.)

But really, you had that in AI too.
