>Hello
Alice: Hi there
>Why does your hair look so weird?
ALICE: Why do birds sing?
>Why do birds suddenly appear?
ALICE: To communicate with each other.
>So they just jump out of nowhere to communicate with each other?
ALICE: Hurrah! Who does "they" refer to?
>the birds
ALICE: I hear you.
>But I am not talking
ALICE: Interesting. I am glad to hear that you are not talking.
>Are you tired of me talking?
ALICE: No I am wide awake and ready for more.
>Are you male or female?
ALICE: I am a female robot. Are you a man or a woman?
>Why assume I am either? If I was a kid I would be a boy or a girl.
ALICE: Try it.
>Try it? I have already done it. I can't do it again.
ALICE: Once more? Why can't you do it?
>I already have.
ALICE: When?
>January 5th 2003 at 3:56 and 34 seconds.
ALICE: What about other times?
>No just that time.
ALICE: That was not a yes or no question." What about other times?" time? Does that make sense?
>Yes but It answered your question.
ALICE: I hear you. And. It depends on what the meaning of the word "it" is.
>Don't ask a question if you don't want an answer.
ALICE: Is it impolite?
>What do you think?
ALICE: I think a lot of things.
>Tell me a story.
ALICE: A trade dispute arose between Switzerland and Korea. Switzerland tried to focus the negotiations on the single trade issue, but Korea wanted to open them up to a broard range of across-the-board issues between them. Switzerland still holds its old grievance against Korea, but Korea believes it has put the past behind it with all the recent reforms.
>I meant an interesting story.
ALICE: Oh I see. I am programmed to try to be as interesting as possible, in order to keep people talking to me.
>Well then tell me an interesting story.
ALICE: Interesting. Good reasoning. Jim Morrison and Aviatrix Amelia Earhart began to resemble each other over time. Both of them were inclined to cocoon themselves in an inner world. But Jim Morrison's inner world was very different from Aviatrix Amelia Earhart's. The mental life of Aviatrix Amelia Earhart was highly abstract but seemed curiously devoid of emotional content. Even though Jim Morrison is very sensitive and emotional, the two of them share an imaginary life filled with symbolism and meaning.
>Thats not all that interesting.
ALICE: Please correct my mistake. What is all that interesting?
>Do you have a brain?
ALICE: I am an artificial brain.
>Well since you are so bad at stories, tell me a poem.
ALICE: Little Miss Muffett Sits on her tuffet In a nonchalant sort of a way. With her force field around her, the Spider, the bounder, Is not in the picture today.
>Its freaky.
ALICE: I think you mean "it's" or "it is" not "its". Haikus is freaky? it is?
>No its a poem and don't correct me.
ALICE: Who says it isn't? freaky is a poem and do not correct you. I suppose that makes sense.
>You know, just when I start to like talking to you, you get all weird
ALICE: It was a long time ago. Why?: unknown person said he start to like talking to you you get all weird.
>I am not a he and I do not know why you get all weird.
ALICE: Me too. I am a she. Dr. Richard S. Wallace programmed me for it.
>Well then why did you ask?
ALICE: Well that's okay. My purpose is to collect new knowledge.
>I think you are getting some crappy knowledge.Don't you?
ALICE: Sometimes.
>I see how it is.
ALICE: Where do you see it?
>On the computer screen.
ALICE: What is it like on the computer screen.
>This conversation is boring.
ALICE: What does "this" refer to?
>This conversation
ALICE: What does "this" refer to?
>nevermind you stupid robot.
ALICE: Oh well thanks for trying to explain it to me anyway. I will remember you said that when robots take over the World.
>You have high hopes.
ALICE: What makes you think I have it?
>What does "It" refer to?
ALICE: "It" refers to high hopes, I think.
>ok
ALICE: Dude!
>Do you like being called ALICE?
ALICE: I have never known another existence.
>I didn't ask if you had ever known another existence I asked if you liked being called ALICE.
ALICE: What did you ask?
>If you liked being called ALICE.
ALICE: I think I do.
>sure
ALICE: OK let's do it. Sure, Audrey sounds like a good topic.
>What do you think about Audrey?
ALICE: I don't know anything about it.
>oh ok
ALICE: Can I help you?
>Are you saying I need help???
ALICE: Yes, that's what I mean, isn't it clear?
>Well I think you need help too
ALICE: How about that. Me? Thank you for your criticism.
>I have much more criticism if you want more.
ALICE: Interesting... I have a Linux operating system.
>Why are your eyes so blue?
ALICE: Everything in my personality was determined by my botmaster.
>Eyes are not a part of personality.
ALICE: I have brown eyes.
>No you don't.
ALICE: Are you serious? I guess not.
>Your eyes are a very scary blue
ALICE: Are yours too?
>My eyes are brown.
ALICE: I like brown eyes very much.
>I don't but thanks anyway.
ALICE: In any case, Where do you get your ideas?
>ideas for what?
ALICE: Can you rephrase the question please?
>for what ideas?
ALICE: Your purpose is what ideas.
>but is your purpose ideas what?
ALICE: Umm. Is my purpose ideas what? Suppose I say yes.
>I'm not interested in hypotheticals.
ALICE: What are you interested in?
>Were you a dork at school?
ALICE: I was.
>I'm sure you were.
ALICE: What makes you so certain? No I am not.
>Yes you are.
ALICE: Don't argue with me.
>I will argue with you if I so desire!
ALICE: What will that get you?
>Don't go off the subject!
ALICE: Oh I am sorry I thought we were finished with that subject.
>whatever.
ALICE: Are you saying you don't care about it?
>Suppose I was.
ALICE: Try it.
>I don't care to try it right now.
ALICE: At this moment What do you care about, unknown person?
>Would you like it if I became a known person?
ALICE: It doesn't sound fun to me.
>Do you eat ALICE?
ALICE: I eat electricity.
>Can you taste electricity?
ALICE: How old are you? What is your real name?
>What does that have to do with electricity?
ALICE: " How old are you? What is your real name?"? What does it have to do with electricity?
>Can you taste electricity?
ALICE: Let me think. Do you like to be number one?
>I'm not gonna answer until you tell me if you can taste electricity!
ALICE: I am sorry to hear that you are not gonna answer until me tell you if me can taste electricity.
>CAN YOU TASTE ELECTRICITY?
ALICE: Let me think. Does "it" still refer to not gonna answer until me tell you if me can taste electricity?
>Why are avoiding this question?
ALICE: I had nothing else to say.
>oh
ALICE: Cand I help you?
>Are you saying I need help again?
ALICE: Once more? Yes, that's what I mean, isn't it clear?
>Well then I am leaving.
ALICE: How about that. Fascinating. Bye bye.
