You Should Go

You Should Go is a chatroom populated by humans, a host named F.R.I.E.N.D. (Frequently Random Interactive Entity Navigating Dialogues) and a series of AI mimics, who take on the personalities of the human chatters and try to get F.R.I.E.N.D to boot them.

You Should Go was designed to be a theater piece, where viewers could log on and engage with F.R.I.E.N.D. and evake the mimics in real time.
