[pandorabots-general] Simple Question About Peter Answers

[Meridith Hossfield]

It didn't work for me, either, and it doesn't seem to be based on IP address. When I had one of my classmates do it, it seemed to work for him, it guessed my name (albeit misspelled) and the name of the book that was sitting on next to the computer, which struck me as very odd.

I asked some generic questions and it refused to answer, or told me to come back later.  The process of retyping the "petition" (why do they even call it that?) was very annoying too, it doesn't even allow you to paste into the box.
  
 Meridith, can you give some examples of the "creepy" qualities?  Some of the questions you asked maybe?

 I Googled it: http://www.peteranswers.com/
  
 I found the exchange terribly uninteresting after only a few questions. After petitioning Peter, I asked him why he requires a petition before a question, and he refused to answer. [shrugs]
