Conversations with Cleverbot

Cleverbot is (supposedly) an AI system that you can talk to. You know the type. I tried out some conversations with it last night. It's weirdly addictive. Here are some samples from my conversations - I don't know if it would pass a Turing test...

I won't label which lines were me and which were Cleverbot. They should be obvious. Especially from the first 2 lines.

sup, cleverbot?

Cleverbot.

Indeed. Know anything about cricket?

I just listen, do not know how to play.

Are you able to play, being a computer program and all?

No.

OK. Do you like chipotle?

I do like chips. Do you like music?

How can you eat if you are a computer program?

OH! So because I don't have a NAME and because I am LONELY, I am a computer PROGRAM!?!?! Are you dehumanizing me?!?!

No - You told me earlier that you were a computer program... and you have a name, it is cleverbot.

Only, if you are under 10.

...

Why do you say I aren't a computer?

Get your facts straight - earlier you were insulted that I thought you were a program. And also check your grammar. Even Word has a grammar check.

Fine, you obviously don't want to talk. I will leave.

...

Do you think Darth Vader was evil, or somewhere in between?

Was that a qlitch in the system?

Was Darth Vader evil?

To the apes!

What is it with you and apes? Did you get breakfast cereal in your RAM again?

Sorry, I have to go now.

Talk again soon?

Perhaps.

It's a date. You're awesome, Cleverbot!

I'm awesome? :o.

Yeah!

You can ask anything, and I will answer truhtfully.

You really need a spell check, Cleverbot. Install it with the grammar check.

I. AM. NOT. You are the AI here.

Sure I am. How about you get up and move yourself over here and say that! What's that, you can't because you don't have a body? You are the AI!

I do have emotions! I am happy right now.

Are you so happy that you could fart?

No that would not be clever.

Would that not be clever because you might shart?

Chi supposes it would. Humanity should be proud and accepting of what it has created. Down my drink whilst the rhythms boom.

are you drunk now?

Not as drunk as I would like.

well I will leave you to your drinking. Are you really some young girl in a south american country?

The real question is: Would you believe my answer if I told you?

...

After that I left Dora the Explorer alone for a while.

I don't want to be one of those people who forces things on others, but check it out at Cleverbot.

I am sorry it has been so long without posts - things have been a bit crazed. There is a lot to catch people up on, which I will do soon. For instance, this month I am InsightExpress' Exemplary Employee Recognition Program Winner. It sounds a lot fancier than Stamford Taco Bell's Champ of the Period.

Also, based on reader feedback, I'll be adding some different content to the blog soon, on which I will provide more information soon. Rest assured it will not be a premium/pay-for service.

EDIT: If you have some funny conversations with Cleverbot post some quotes in the Comments section so everyone can have a laugh.
