@Demolishun yepp, that's at my company. Well not MINE mine.. if I owned it I wouldn't be here :D
Nevertheless, I'm afraid the bot might be promoted to mgmt. That would be.. something.. -
@RememberMe nope, the bot's running on my laptop (still waiting for them to provision a set of k8s deployments for this initiative). Although I see why you might think that :)
-
@Condor I made it all myself. NLP and responses -- all home-made. I simply have prepared a set of possible answers for either of the cases the bot can handle and return either of the valid responses randomly. That's enough to feel human-like. Even better - that's more than X-like :) I'm proud of myself for building a bot that's more real-life-like than X people IRL :D
The same's with the cases the bot cannot handle, i.e. CommandNotFoundTask :) Find many ways to say the same thing et voila - you've got yourself an X human. -
@HiFiWiFiSciFi FWIW I've been slacking off for the last 2-3 months already :) You wouldn't believe how much time I now have on my hands! In fact, I've reached the level where I actually want to do some tasks myself... out of boredom :D
As for "my mic is broken", I've taught it to say smth like "I cannot join the meeting ATM. Perhaps some of my colleagues could. FYA <!subteam^AAAA|BBBBB>". In different ways :) That oughta do it :) -
@vomitmachine My idea was to find some API for the conferences' service, join the call and play RickRoll quietly in the background :) That's a TODO
-
-
@netikras ohhh that's such a wonderful idea. Please do that. Subtle enough where no one would hear it at first.
-
@vomitmachine Especially when it's the WFH days... Noone's gonna know who's playing, and even when they hear it - they'll assume it's smth in the background (other room/street/yard/etc.) :)
-
@netikras if you do add that feature, please make another post about it. I wanna hear how it goes down
-
@vomitmachine Ooh, logs of a convo?
-
@sulkysheer let's just call them... elbonians :)

@sulkysheer
Well, i sort of did.
Before I continue, I should mention that I have a quality: I observe, find repetitive patterns and find ways to automate them. It just happens naturally, hardly ever intentionally.
I have been in this role for quite a while now. Most of my colleagues are of nationality X (I guess we all know what X is in IT projects). Naturally, there are lots of repetitions all over the place. So I started the automation.
The Frontend of the automation is a slack bot. It's just like another member of our team. And my goal was to make it as human-like as I could.
I launched the bot a few months ago.
Today I start my shift and see other employees of nationality X persistently asking my bot to join the conference call. Apparently, they assumed that the bot is just another X fellow...
Took them a while to give up.
What does that tell us about X.....
P.S. I have coded human-like conversation capability to keep on chatting even when the bot doesn't understand what it's asked to do.
