Weird theory. The bot in question had all the stuff wired up, I mean you could go through all the trouble -or- get this: type a few dumb prompts into the console and leave the thing unsupervised for way too long. My bet is on the latter. "I can't believe it's not a human actor running a marketing ploy". If that's not passing the turing test , I don't know what is. %-P
