Spam Bots Get Smarter

Happened today:

*While at the Nuffnang screening of The Expendables (which was a great action movie that hardly needs a plot to be entertaining).*

Short trailer of upcoming movie REPO Men came up.

Kitteh: Ehh what’s this movie about again ah? I’ve seen the trailer before.

Me: There it’s about the future where people can rent vital organs to sur….

Kitteh: OHHHHhhhh!!! *eyes open wide* YAH!!! I REMEMBER!!!….

*3 seconds pass of silence pass*

Kitteh: Eh… to do what again ar?

Lesson of the day: Sometimes when Kitteh says “OHHHH!!!” and you think she gets it… she doesn’t always. Hehe my cute Kitteh.

I was on MSN today and this friend of mine I knew back from university messaged me out of the blue. I haven’t seen him online in a very very long time. You know how the old spam bots on MSN will just send you links and ask you to click on it?

Well this one is a lot smarter. It actually talks to you almost like a real person. And here’s how it went.

I was really suspicious of him right after he asked me to join a dating site. So when I asked him who he was and how I know him… the bot obviously couldn’t answer and he just never answered me from there. For all you know it could really be a real person behind that. Either ways it shows how much smarter these spam bots are these days.

Be careful of things like that guys!
