AI using PHP

Have any of you guys thought about this? I have spent the last four nights just thinking about how someone could create an AI program using PHP.
Any of you know of any big sites that discuss this topic?

Yeah, I've thought quite a bit about it, actually. Which aspect did you have in mind? I've thought about gaming (having two people code their bots on their own servers and have them play each other in a game on a third server), face/writing recognition (in conjunction with an applet, flash file or image upload to take input), and artificial life of course.

i'd say that if one could make a Chatting Bot will be a good AI example, in
http://www.mess.be they have bots for you to talk to them using msn messenger, if one knows hoy they did such a thing, maybe it could be written in php too, i guess php is very capable of this.

Not only that, but PHP has the potential to repair itself, add to itself, etc. quite easily. Just have it determine what needs doing, pass that to a translator which would write the PHP, write to whatever.php and add it to the main library of the entity. It wouldn't even have to worry about self-compiling or anything like that. Get it running on distributed servers and you could set up a serious AI bot.
We could set up a project on
sourceforge and get started on this! Just have to write up a plan as to what we'd want to make and get started. Any takers? Any suggestions (chess players, chat bots, recognition bots...)?

Let's have some fun!

i think the idea of a chat bot is better, cuz i think is more doable, if we do that, do you imagine? maybe enterprises won't have to put people in computers to give them tech support if u know what i mean
anyone can easily edit the bot's chat commands and replies to suit their needs, i guess this will give more hope for the 'project'

Thanks guys, I would follow almost anything you guys did regarding AI. I love the idea.

We could come up with a list of suggestions here and then put up a poll asking which idea people like the most and have those interested post something saying so. At this point, we have a chat bot and a game bot.

I couldn't find the chat bot you guys where talking about. All I found was a bot that sent designated messages to ppl who use a certain word in their message.

i did found a chat bot, but this time, is really neat!!!
i give ALL credit to EvilWalrus, you can connect a bot with the messenger protocol, and it works

for now, because i heard that the ppl at microsoft are going to remove this 'old' protocol to .NET, and i don't know if this will work. This is socket programming, if ppl around don't know

the link is:

EDIT: Also check this out,
http://freshmeat.net/projects/programe/ ... d=22%2C133
which i think i'm going to try myself too.

Thanks for contributing so much enthusiasm.
I mean that in a non-sarcastic way.
