Sesli Spambot An automated spambot becomes self-aware and is immediately conflicted. Should it use its massive computerised intelligence to create works of art and beauty? Or should it continue in the role it was created for -- spamming comment sections of every blog it can find. This is another internet-age masterpiece by the author of "Call Me ELIZA: The Compleat Adventures of a Real Live Chat Bot".
