My AV1611VET Challenge

Either you're all attempting to troll a troll, or you really don't see that the member in question could well be a human who also sometimes uses a bot to post.

If you're talking about me, I consider that a compliment; but I'm probably five times faster than any bot could post here.

Digital thinking; if not A then B.

Are there no other alternatives? You would not be alone if so; there are a lot of people on this board who think in binary terms. Or perhaps binary 'thinking' is itself evidence of computer generated posts. That is an intriguing thought; if so AV is not alone; we have hundreds of them.

I have modified my theory in light of AV1611VET's reply, and have added a third alternative, which I now belive to be most likely.

No, I'm not telling

The ability to construct a third alternative would seem to indicate that you, at least, are human.

And there was me thinking it was my spelling mistakes and cheeky sense of humour.

I do not believe AV1611VET can be a real person. I postulate that he is a chatbot (yecbot) program that has been running on the Christian Forums servers for the last several years just to keep us all amused. And to keep the number counting threads alive of course.

Now convince me otherwise.

I can't.

Would it make a difference in the way other users interacted with AVET if it was proven that he was not human?

He is a pretty popular member in discussions on this end of the forum.

Ah, very good point. I'd always wondered about the counting posts, I mean, who would really find that kind of thing interesting? Most people, when bored, do stuff like put the TV on, play solitaire, go out to the shops, feed the birds etc, but nope, AVET spends his time counting, which seems to back up your hypothesis. Maybe AVET you could get a bot to play solitaire for you offline so that it is easier for people to search through your posts. I once tried searching through your posts for something you'd said and all I got was 1, 2, 3, 4 ...

"Me" is an important word, isn't it?

Click to expand...

Of course, it is as important as "you" or any other word. Unfortunatelly my English is not that good and I may misuse it sometimes.

Catherineanne said:

It is a human convention, for example, not to kill.

Would you complain if I have killed you and then raised you from the dead?

You too. Computers have as much alternatives as you program them to have.

That is AV's random number thread. Obviously its random number algorithm is flawed, as are the rest of the algorithms...

You speak English well.

You sound like a programmer.

I maybe write it well... sometimes. But I speak it awfully.

The alternatives exist at the level of meaning. They do not exist at the level of programming, which is the level that computers function at.

At programming level there is either 0 or 1. In or out, on or off, black or white, with us or against us, Christian or infidel; you can interpret these as you like. It is binary thinking, every time we polarise the world into two categories, with no exceptions.

Click to expand...

If you killed me I would not complain. I hope my family and the law might.

You do not have the ability to raise me or anyone else from the dead, so that question is meaningless.

What is your point?

When you think don't you weigh up a whole lot of conditions before you make a decision? A program works in the same way. Everything is 0 or 1 when you break it down to it's fundamental level, even with humans.
