Chatbots as unwitting actors

Year: 2019
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: Chatbots are popular for both task-oriented conversations and unstructured conversations with web users. Several different approaches to creating comedy and art exist across the field of computational creativity. Despite the popularity and ease of use of chatbots, there have not been any attempts by artists or comedians to use these systems for comedy performances. We present two initial attempts to do so from our comedy podcast and call for future work toward both designing chatbots for performance and for performing alongside chatbots.
