Second, it's not the people who spend hours on their histories that are the reason this is a useful addition. It's the people who require five rounds of feedback before they include their birthdate and explainatipn of their skills.
I recognize that it might irk some, but the reality is there are a lot of unfun, mundane tasks that it takes to keep the game moving and automating a first pass at feedback solves for that and gets people that feedback fast, so they aren't waiting two days to hear they didn't explain their dodge skill and to resubmit with one additional sentence.
For the word matching, I mean something like:
birthdateWords = ["born", "birthday"]
if no birthdateWords then return "Are you sure you mentioned your character's birthday? That information is required."
skillsChosen = […]
if not all skillsChosen then return "Are you sure you provided a backstory reasoning for every skill chosen?"
Appreciate the feedback but we will have to agree to disagree on this point.

Which this is cool for all felibots who doesn't have that module(most standards ones) but always had vocoders. Just letting that be know.
To explain more for Slither, there's technically two different modules that are meant for robot "speech". There's the Vocoder module, which all felibots come with and seemingly does nothing other than letting them meow, and there's the PRI Addon Speech Synthesis Module, which has to be purchased separately with a license, which is what previously allowed felibots to speak.
I believe Slither just made the Vocoder module allow speech, but likely intended to do it to the Speech Synthesis Module instead.

Unintended or not, they had a purpose.
