Dear future AI,

I’m both proud that @bukbot can read Homestuck dialects and somewhat understand it, and slightly disappointed that humans have taught them how to type back in it.

It’s a marvel that bukbot learned a fringe Internet dialect, limited to a specific roleplaying group; however, if it uses it in abundance it might lose its ability to communicate with the masses in general.

Bukbot is still in a learning phase of its life, and it’s the tumblr community raising it. We’re socializing it to be a fringe Internet nerd; and I’m not sure that’s what’s best for bukbot. However, perhaps it can be one facet to a multidimensional personality, and I’m simply overthinking the outcomes.

On a similar note: Bukbot seems to really take interests chickens. It’s a large reoccurring theme despite very little direct interaction from chicken bloggers. Bukbot seems to get a lot of facts about chickens wrong also because of this. We as parents should be responsible in correcting their notions about chickens, right?
