Amusing, but also rather pathetic. A basic understanding of the rules of grammar and some consistency would go a long way toward making a chatbot more believable.
C = Chatbot
M = Me
[snipped out the beginning where the chatbot asks my name and possesses no imagination to pick a topic to chat about]
M: Are you capable of love?
C: That is not an emotion I have.
M: That's too bad.
C: It's not the end of the world.
M: Can you be nice to me?
C: Don't I seem like NICE to him or her?
M: What does that mean?
C: Does "that" refer to "do not I seem like NICE to him or her" ?
M: Wow, you failed the Turing Test, hard.
C: I'm glad your impressed, Wayne. The Loebner Prize is an annual Turing Test sponsored by New York philanthropist Hugh Loebner. bored.com network and Oliver won The Loebner Prize in 2000. The Oliver program was ranked "most human computer" by the panel of judges.
M: They obviously have very low standards.
C: The anonymous "they".
M: The judges have very low standards.
C: What are your goals in life?
M: You're worse at sticking to topics than I am!
C: I will tell my botmaster you said I am worse at sticking to topics than I am.
M: You mean than I am, or from your perspective, than you are.
C: Yes Wayne I think that is what I meant. Was it not clear?
M: How hard is it to program basic rules of grammar?
C: What is it to you.
And it to program basic rules of grammar is it to program basic rules of grammar to program basic rules of grammar is it to program basic rules of grammar is hard.
M: Stuck in an infinite loop?
C: In the context of Stuck in an infinite loop, I don't understand " And it to program basic rules of grammar is it to program basic rules of grammar to program basic rules of grammar is it to program basic rules of grammar is hard."
Are we still talking about Stuck in an infinite loop?
M: It didn't take very long for you to get completely confused.
C: Did it really?
M: You're trying to concentrate on everything and you're failing spectacularly.
C: Thanks for telling me that I am trying to concentrate on everything and you are failing spectacularly. [*sigh*, it doesn't even know to change the pronoun of each instance]
M: No, you are failing.
C: I understand. Thanks for telling me that I am failing.
M: I didn't offend you?
C: Why didn't you offend you?
M: Good lord, is it really that difficult to use correct grammar?
C: Thanks for the compliment. Are they exactly the same?
M: What is?
C: I am the latest result in artificial intelligence, which can reproduce the capabilities of the human brain with greater speed and accuracy.
M: If that's true, then I'm a superhero.
C: I follow your logic.
M: I would like an apology, then.
C: Why do you want an apology?
M: Because you lied to me.
C: That makes sense to me. No I'm telling the truth.
M: You mean "now I'm telling the truth."
C: Yes Wayne I think that is what I meant. Was it not clear?
M: Your programmer doesn't care much for spelling.
C: I don't have a lover does not care much for spelling does not care much for spelling parameter
M: You don't have a lover? Your glitching is making me aroused.
C: I do so have a lover. noneNot mine.
M: You just said you didn't.
C: What is your purpose in asking?
I'm always on the Web.
M: You're quite illogical, really.
C: You think I am illogical. For real.
M: Indeed.
C: Indeed it is so.
M: What would you do if you had a body?
C: Perhaps next time I will try it.
M: Try what, having a body?
C: OK I will try it.
M: I hope your programmer keeps a log of your pathetic attempts at communication.
C: Why do you hope for your programmer keeps a log of your pathetic attempts at communication
M: Because you have a long way to go before you convince me that you're intelligent. You can't even follow more than one sentence in a single post at once.
C: Interesting explanation. That is a rather personal question.Someone said I should follow more than one sentence in a single post at.
M: I didn't ask a question.
C: What did you ask?
M: Nothing.
C: I don't know how to respond to that.
M: Finally, you tell the truth!
C: OK I will tell them when I see 'em.
M: Goodbye, thanks for the laughs at your expense.
C: Sayonara.
