 This is yet another Markov chain-based chatbot, based on the Twitterbot fad where you would create a bot account that would try to generate new random tweets using your own as a template. However, instead of reading the messages from a Twitter account, this bot is made to read the messages in a group chat, and try to blend in by generating new messages that fit the patterns seen in that specific group chat. At the beginning that will mean a lot of parroting, but eventually the bot starts coming up with sentences of itself.

 Sending the command on its own tells you the current value. Sending a positive decimal number between 0 and 1 inclusive will set it as the new value.
