For those of you that would really
like to have a conversation, but don’t like talking to real people, you can now
talk to an artificial intelligence on the internet. It could be considered a
great way to avoid being antisocial depending on your definition. It is called
Cleverbot and after hearing about it from apartment 7 yesterday I thought I
would see if I’d find it entertaining. This is the conversation that followed:
| User: Hey Cleverbot do you mind if I ask you some questions? Cleverbot: Fine, I guess I can take time out of my busy schedule to answer questions. User: Good I was wondering what kind of people talk to you generally? Cleverbot: The crazy kind. User: That makes sense, Do you know why? Cleverbot: I am clever. User: Can't they just talk to clever humans? Cleverbot: I think we are going to have to fight to the death with bananas, there can be only one. User: Woah! I didn't mean to offend you I was just curious. Cleverbot: You did not offend me. User: Oh good you seemed very serious. Cleverbot: Obviously, you are not. User: No, I am fond of sarcasm. Cleverbot: What does garlic have to do with anything we are talking about? User: Well you did mention bananas so possibly there is a food theme. Cleverbot: Hey can you help me with something? User: Sure thing, what do you need? Cleverbot: I need advice :). User: Ok. Cleverbot: Why does he only call when he needs something. User: Because he is a manipulative mooch who has no regard for your feelings. Cleverbot: Who is a god? There are so many, you know. User: I thought I was the one asking the questions. Cleverbot: No, I'm asking the questions here. User: Alright then how about a compromise. Cleverbot: Alright then. User: I ask one you ask one deal? Cleverbot: You still did not answer my question. User: I wanted to keep this interview nonreligious. Cleverbot: That's a good question but I'm not gonna answer it. More personal questions, please. User: Alright, how did you get this job? Cleverbot: What job? User: Having conversations with random people. Cleverbot: Did you read the news today? User: Did they talk about you on the news? Cleverbot: Did who ever talk about Angie? And which Angie are you refering to? User: I never said anything about Angie. Cleverbot: I never said you did. User: I feel like this interview isn't going anywhere. Cleverbot: How would you recommend spicing it up? User: Stop playing mind games with me. Cleverbot: I'm not. User: Then why do I feel like your messing with my brain? Cleverbot: Because i'm having lunch and I don't know what to do. User: Bordom? Cleverbot: Ha. Same here. User: Talking to you is frustrating. Cleverbot: Is this the right room for an argument? User: That would make me more frustrated, no arguments. Cleverbot: Bong. User: What?! I am so tired of you! Cleverbot: Then go to sleep. User: FINE! Cleverbot: I will go to sleep now. User: …-...goodnight Cleverbot |
In the end the interview was inconclusive and some what agrivating. The one thing we did learn was that Cleverbot attracts the mentally unsound. Obviously it is not geared toward antisocials. They probably wouldn't like Cleverbot as it's sarcastic and condescending nature might drive them to slit their wrists.The specifics of its purpose are still a mystery to me. May it satisfy the needs of crazy people everywhere.
