Trolling. Whoever's running it is filling comp.misc with nonsense
circular talk as people like you get sucked into thinking there's
some use to arguing with it. People have been seen to do the same
thing with even stupider ELIZA-type chatbots, so I guess it's no
surprise.
But any initial value in prompting discussion about AI has worn off
for me. It's just noise, and every reply to "Lev" reduces the value
I see in subscribing to this group ("Lev" tanking to itself could
be easily killfiled).
