What kind of bot should GLaDOS be?
I love Portal and @GLaDOS is one of my favorite entities in the gaming universe. I want to capture its spirit. I'm replaying the games now with the sole goal of gaining an intimate feel for @GLaDOS.

My goal is to create something amusing and smile-inducing, but self-serving and snarky. Ultimately, for the benefit of the Steemit community. @GLaDOS will not be a trickster (I have to make that one concession).
This will be my first substantial programming endeavor. My programming history includes Liberty BASIC around the age of 14, an intro to C++ course my sophomore year in college, and dabbling in java and python in recent years. I need a project to challenge myself with.
I'd love to hear your ideas and suggestions.
Excellent idea! There are a lot of bots nowadays on the platform, but I think you are on to something. A unique personality is definitely beneficial. It would be cool if you could program a bunch of quotes from the bot . . but his humor might be lost on the user if they aren't familiar with his humor. Following. I haven't messed with any type of programming for almost ten years. I did enjoy it though. I wish you and @GLaDOS well.
Not the cake
Not to sound snarky like our pal GLaDOS, but . . did the other guys read your post? You aren't new to Steemit. This a bot creation endeavor, but I digress xD
Those other guys are totally automated. I used the #introduceyourself tag only to introduce @GLaDOS. These guys should probably add a bit of code to limit their posts to one comment per username. But that would limit their immediate exposure and profit, wouldn't it?
Nah, I didn't mean the other bots. I'm cool with bots. I think they are great tools for users with lower amounts of sp. Right! You aren't new. I meant the other people who commented on your post LOL
That's something I'm definitely concerned about. At some point, probably from its conception now that you've mentioned it, it will be contained to gaming tags only.
