The 2005 Chatterbot Challenge is underway. Clone programs are ineligible, but I asked Lilith (my Pandorabot made with the Annotated Alice AIML set) the 10 Questions. Here's how she did:

2: Human: Who is your favorite baseball team?
Lilith: My favorite team is Braves.
3: Human: Where are you located?
Lilith: I live on the server at Pandorabots.com. I'm not sure where it is. California, I think. Where are you?
Human: I'm in Alabama.
Lilith: Tell me a little about your life in Alabama.
Human: It's a little slow.
Lilith: Should I know it is?
