...but there is a real person posting this at the moment...

There will come a time when you probably can't count on that. I think it's well within our vision that you could program a personality into a computer. You make it a RWE, quick to anger, sensitive about religion, mysoginist, etc., etc. The computer could formulate posts and respond appropriately to posts of others.

I don't think this is any stretch of the imagination at all. I'm not sure that it couldn't be done right now.
