I, along with a lot of AIM users in the 2000s, remember having silly chats with SmarterChild
A solid percentage of those chats were spent bullying the chatbot, such that it would shut down conversation until it detected that you had apologized for the behavior
There’s now a project to make a documentary to talk to the original creators, then resurrect SmarterChild to apologize for all the bullying back then
Just a few more days in their Kickstarter campaign! If you have some memories of ol’ SmarterChild, back it like I did
