Wikibot/Name

From Meta, a Wikimedia project coordination wiki

Wikibot - I propose to call these automated agents processing knowledge aproaching systems using symbolic processing faeries. That is, firstly, because of negative connotations of symbol "bot" and "agent" related to known-to-all movie "Matrix" and other "scary sci-fi" wytch nevertheless is a part of common subconcious (let's assume for the sake of the argument that it exists). The name faeries lets us also define agents that use logic language that is self-modyfying and might soon be uncomprehensible to humans and that some of the people defining languages, metalanguages and logical prepositions of truth might be Homo Sapiens Sapiens. It's just a word and it's not the only thing I would like to contribute to the project, but I think that when we are about to create sometink of such complexity using the word from ancient fales describing a race that was wise, posessed a language of very advanced type and knowledge letting it to help people is a good idea. Do you believe in faeries? Quantum physicists do :-} A.A 12:39, 27 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
