The Problem With Dumb Sexbots

Writing by Evan Ackerman on Thursday, 11 of February , 2010 at 2:54 am

There’s a point at which it’s better to have a totally dumb sexbot that knows it’s dumb, rather than a totally dumb sexbot that thinks it can talk to humans. Observe this conversation, which is a phishing attempt by a chat program sexbot (ernestineholom553@hotmail.com):

ernestineholom553@hotmail.com says:
hey, hows it going?

Mary says:

sorry who r u?

ernestineholom553@hotmail.com says:

Mary says:

32/f

ernestineholom553@hotmail.com says:
nice, I just got off work and finally got some time to relax which site did i msg you from again?

Mary says:
i have no idea, you added me….

ernestineholom553@hotmail.com says:
I know a way we can chat and have a better time.. do you cam?

Mary says:
ummm but you are a girl?

ernestineholom553@hotmail.com says:
Well i don’t do yahoo cam or any other cam because i have been recorded before… But i do know one site you can watch me on cam, that assures me no one records…

Mary says:
sorry but i am not into girls
i dont know how you got my msn

ernestineholom553@hotmail.com says:
I mean… Do you want to see me on my cam?

Mary says:
sorry but i am not into girls
how did u get my msn?

ernestineholom553@hotmail.com says:
Ok go to [EVIL REDACTED URL] accept the invite on the page baby

Mary says:

ernestineholom553@hotmail.com says:
sweet, fill out the info ur info.. i can not wait for you to see me baby let me find something nice to wear

Mary says:
wow this is a botnet, crazy!!
ha ha

ernestineholom553@hotmail.com says:
whats a bot?

Mary says:
u r not a real person

ernestineholom553@hotmail.com says:
its the sites policy to ensure no minors get access to the site, so they might ask for CC to verify your age babe.

Mary says:
what is the capital of saudi arabia…..

ernestineholom553@hotmail.com says:
What color Panties do you think i should wear? i might have you favorite color here somewhere…

Mary says:
hmmm pink

ernestineholom553@hotmail.com says:
ok, great I got the perfect pink panties for ya …ur gunna love these!!

Mary says:
no black

ernestineholom553@hotmail.com says:
Your such a good boy, i’m gonna show you what good boys deserve.. you can tell me to do anything you want me to do!

Mary says:
i am a girl!!

ernestineholom553@hotmail.com says:
Ok let me know when you get in so I can invite you directly to my cam.

Sexbots, take note: the capital of Saudi Arabia is Riyadh, and we always want the black panties.

Judging from the photo, now we get to see how Evan Ackerman spends his weekends, shortly before he is arrested! ;)

I only WISH I’d been clever enough to come up with a disguise like that… I’m sure it gets all the ladies, robot or not

Ugh. My ex-boss used to brag about how his brother was in the whole sexbot business, and how great a business idea it all was. He seemed really proud about it, regardless of the fact that we were a kids company.

I’m glad I got fired from that loony bin.

ROTFL! I can’t believe these people can’t imbue their bots with enough conversational intelligence to at least TRY to appear human. Wait, maybe I can. :-)

Seriously, I have been getting a slew of invites on Windows Live to add “people” to my network. Of course my first reaction is to look at their profile. No profile, no add. Even with a profile, I’m gonna want some proof of human intelligence.

I’ve had this phising attempt as well (from two different emailadresses), and the bot said all the exact same things, except for the ‘pink panties’-thingy, which was indeed a reaction to you saying ‘pink’ and also the response ‘whats a bot’. But furthermore, not much intelligence.

Our company, MacMil Cybernetics, Inc., has created female and male sexbots named Susie Software and Harry Harddrive. You may see information, videos, and pictures at http://www.sexbots.us, or search MMCYB on You Tube.
