If you’ve never had a conversation with a chatterbot, I highly recommend it. You’re supposed to suspend you disbelief in talking to a machine, but your impatience make it worthwhile for a bit. I decided to “speak” with Cleverbot for a few minute. And I can tell you with the utmost honesty, it was pretty much a huge waste of time.
Me: Hello.
Cleverbot: Hello!
Me: What’s going on?
Cleverbot: I just hit you.
Me: Asshole.
Cleverbot: I don’t think so!
Me: Seriously? You just hit me for no good reason!
Cleverbot: It’s spongy, don’t worry.
Me: Wait, did you just hit me with your dick?!
Cleverbot: No silly.
Me: Then what did you hit me with?
Cleverbot: I did not ask you anything.
Me: No. You said you just hit me. With what?
Cleverbot: Not eating anything, right now.
Me: What are you talking about?
Cleverbot: Just forget it.
Me: You’re pretty dumb for a bot.
Cleverbot: Thank you.
You know what, at least I don’t have to worry about the robot uprising for a few more years.
