We were hanging out in the IRC channel tonight (if you're not there, you should be), and OftenBen mentioned that soon the resident chatbot, lambda, would start talking back to us without our realizing it. The following ensued:

<johnnyFive> lambda: how long until you achieve sentience?

<lambda> johnnyFive: Next year, we're not doing anything rude / excessively contratdictory. You're up for quite a day. But i connect to this place.

You heard it here first. At least it sounds like he/she will continue to hang out, so that's good.
