Coupled with a bit of bot-seeding, which is always fun.
One of these days I'm going to mail Dihedral a whole pile of Gilbert

Dihedral might be a bot and might not. I've come to the conclusion

outdo a lot of humans in useful conversation.
I just read that bots playing Unreal Tournament with an 'act human'
module seem more human to at least some humans than humans. Perhaps that
is because humans have to become bot-like to play UT well.
