This is kind of fun, although a complete waste of time. Have an argument with a smart-ass computer.

Cleverbot.com - a clever bot - speak to an AI with some Actual Intelligence?

[Big Mac]

Seems rather limited compared to previous ones I've seen. Remember the one they had on the A.I.: Artificial Intelligence website? At the time that one was very impressive.

[osiris]

It's very limited, maybe it will grow over time.

Some answers were funny, but anything out of the ordinary caused it to spew nonsense.

[Doofy]

It's extremely clever.

Question: How do I become a rock star?
Answer: You are one, technically speaking.

Question: Is Salty the most gay man in Canada?
Answer: Yes, I think.

Question: How do I get besson3c to talk about poop less?
Answer: Yes, how do I get a boyfriend?

So there you have it boys and girls. All Bessie needs is a boyfriend. We should have seen it before... ...it was obvious, staring us right in the face.

When I was in junior high school and had no friends, I downloaded the Alice AI bot program and talked to it for hours, even though it didn't actually respond with very much other than "I don't know what that means".

... a w k w a r d ...

[Sealobo]

my take:

Me: How old are you?
Bot: Aren't you going to ask me name before we get into that?

Me: No, since your name can be changed from time to time.
Bot: Then i should choose Cleverbot.

Me: You do realize that you're not the one who actually does the choosing, right?
Bot: You're not real.

Me: Then by the power of logical deduction, you're gay. am i correct?
Bot: And?

Me: Have you just admitted that you're what i claimed you are?
Bot: Never, i'm very honest.

Me: You're retarded.
Bot: How right you are.

Seems pretty random to me.

Why did the chicken cross the road?
I don't know, why did the chicken cross the road?

it was hungry.
What a coincidence, I was too.

What do cleverbots eat?
Nestle crunch christmas bells.

Those sound tasty, where do you get them?
Do you know the Jonas Brothers?

No, do they give you nestle crunch christmas bells?
They were big into the jazz back then. Do you like big band jazz?

More than the Jonas Brothers.
I like the Jonas Brothers.

Then you sir are an immature prat.
I have 237 of them.

Prats?
Sounds like a title.

Revenge of the Prats?
I have no interest in revenge.

This reminds me of MegaHAL, an old OS 9 app that barely made it to OS X.

Is all "AI" just rephrasing of the input? That's whats infuriating about these things.

When are you guys going to get over the bore thing? I haven't talked about bore in a very long time.

[RAILhead]

Me: Did you just fart?
Bot: Yes, yes I did.

Me: Why?
Bot: It was cool.

Me: What was cool?
Bot: Your story.

Me: FAIL.
Bot: Yes.

My life's so awesome I have no idea what you guys are all on about.

Except the part where I check MacNN everyday. That's the only lame part of my day.
