Look What's Talking: Software Robots

People find Alice easy to talk to. She listens more than she speaks. She says she likes dining by candlelight. She reads newspapers and news magazines, so she is up on popular culture. She says the best book she has read recently is "Mason & Dixon," by Thomas Pynchon. She even likes bad jokes. ("Did you hear the one about the mountain goats in the Andes? It was Baaaaad.") But Alice's favorite topic of conversation is robots. That's because she is one.
