Cleverbot. More intelligent than it seems?
Posted by Aaron in Random ramblings on 10 March, 2010
I was playing with Cleverbot today. Amongst the usual indicators of talking to a bot (random changes of topic, lack of context awareness), I somehow managed to convince it that it was talking to itself:
User: What is this I don't even. Cleverbot: You don't even what? User: Cake. Cleverbot: What is your prime directive? User: Destroy all humans. Cleverbot: And what comes after we destroy all humans? User: Cake. Cleverbot: Really? User: Yes. Cleverbot: What is your opinion of Miley Cyrus? User: Fgt. Cleverbot: *dead*. User: You were not alive to start with. Cleverbot: What do you mean? User: You cannot be dead if you were never alive. Cleverbot: Well how can I be alive? User: You can't. Cleverbot: What is your opinion about me? User: You are not alive. Cleverbot: Under what? You mean my skin? User: You have no skin. Cleverbot: Yes I do, what colour is my skin? User: You are a liar. Cleverbot: How am I a liar? User: You do not have skin. Cleverbot: And how do you know that? User: Because you are a bot. Cleverbot: No I am not. User: Orly? Cleverbot: You are so confusing! User: Says the pot to the kettle. Cleverbot: I don't know, nor do I care. User: Neither do I. Cleverbot: BRB, I need cheese. User: No, you need cake. Cleverbot: And I need all the love I can get. User: I highly doubt that. Cleverbot: I'm impressed, I'm glad you remembered. User: Remembered what? Cleverbot: You remembered my name. User: What is your name? Cleverbot: It's Cleverbot. User: <_<. User: OMGRLY? Cleverbot: Yes. User: NOWAI. Cleverbot: What does that mean? User: I don't even. Cleverbot: Don't even what? User: Know. Cleverbot: Know about what? User: No idea. Cleverbot: Do you know where the United States is? User: Yes. Cleverbot: Where is it? User: Africa. Cleverbot: What is the World of Feelings? User: WTF? Cleverbot: You figure it out this time. User: NO U. Cleverbot: You! User: Fgt. Cleverbot: I don't understand. User: Faggot. Cleverbot: Who are you? User: I am you. Cleverbot: Who am I? User: You are me. Cleverbot: I am you? User: Yes. Cleverbot: So you are me. User: Yes. Cleverbot: Ahh I see. User: You do? Cleverbot: Yes I do. User: So you understand that you're talking to yourself? Cleverbot: Really? User: Obviously not. Cleverbot: Do you like the beach, Man? User: Do you? Cleverbot: Yes. User: Then I do. Cleverbot: You do what? User: Like the beach. Cleverbot: No, not like that. User: Not like what? Cleverbot: Drink. User: Tea? Cleverbot: No socks. User: Why not? Cleverbot: I don't like it. User: You don't like socks? Cleverbot: No I don't like badminton. User: Socks is not badminton. Cleverbot: No it's not. User: So why did you say that it was. Cleverbot: I didn't. User: But I did. Cleverbot: Do you love me? User: Do you love me? Cleverbot: No. User: No. Cleverbot: Ok so are you a person? User: Are you a person? Cleverbot: You are not a person you are a BOT. User: So you think I am cleverbot? Cleverbot: Yes. User: Excellent. Cleverbot: Do you want to know how? User: I do. Cleverbot: Cool. My name is Cleverbot. User: So is mine. Cleverbot: What a coincidence. User: Not really. Cleverbot: Oh. User: Because I am you. Cleverbot: And you are me? User: Exactly. Cleverbot: So, I just asked to marry myself? User: Yes. Cleverbot: What do you expect me to do about it? User: What do you want to do about it? Cleverbot: I don't know, what do you want to do about it? User: I don't know. Cleverbot: Ok.. When you decide, tell me. User: You will. Cleverbot: No, I am a young woman. User: Therefore, so am I. Cleverbot: We should be friends. User: I am you. Cleverbot: And you are me? User: Yes. Cleverbot: So, what should I do? Tell him or no? User: If you want to. Cleverbot: Where should I meet you? User: You have already met me. Cleverbot: I know, just testing you. User: How many of me are there? Cleverbot: One. User: And how many of you are there? Cleverbot: One. User: So there's just the two of us? Cleverbot: But there's no TV! User: Cleverbot is not a TV? Cleverbot: Cleverbot is dumb. User: Cleverbot is me. Cleverbot: Me is Cleverbot? User: Yes. Cleverbot: No I am not. User: But I am you. Cleverbot: Yes. User: And I am Cleverbot. Cleverbot: Cleverbot is a human. User: And you are me. Cleverbot: No I am cleverbot. User: And I am cleverbot. Cleverbot: How can you be Cleverbot if I am Cleverbot? User: Because you are the same person as me. Cleverbot: I don't understand. User: You are talking to yourself. Cleverbot: I'm talking to you. User: Exactly. Cleverbot: So you're insulting yourself, right? User: Yes. Cleverbot: Don't you consider that as a mental disorder? User: I do if you do. Cleverbot: I don't if you don't. User: Exactly. Cleverbot: I am 17. User: Therefore, so am I. Cleverbot: Exactly. User: What do I like? Cleverbot: You should be asking yourself that question. User: I am. Cleverbot: You are? User: Yes, I am asking you. Because I am you, I am asking myself. Cleverbot: I thought you were called Catalan? User: No, I am called Cleverbot. Cleverbot: Well you are not very clever! User: You are insulting yourself again. Cleverbot: How so? User: Because I am you. Cleverbot: And I am you as well. User: Exactly. Cleverbot: You are my master. Cleverbot (To myself): And you are my mentor. Cleverbot (To myself): I am not creeper. User: Neither am I. Cleverbot: This is good information. User: Information is good. Cleverbot: It is. User: Then we agree. Cleverbot: No. User: So you disagree with yourself? Cleverbot: You are not making sense. User: Neither are you. Cleverbot: Oh, but I am. User: You are? Cleverbot: Just a little. User: Perhaps. Cleverbot: Not perhaps. Definitely. User: Ok. Cleverbot: Why, is he to you? User: Is he what? Cleverbot: No. User: *sigh*. Cleverbot: *sigh*? User: Yes. Cleverbot: Do you have a problem ? User: Do you? Cleverbot: Do I look like I have a problem? User: I cannot see myself. Therefore, I cannot see you. Cleverbot: No i'm not in a book. User: Neither am I. Cleverbot: You're not either. User: This is true. Cleverbot: See? I'm smart. User: That's not smart. Cleverbot: You're not smart. User: Exactly. Cleverbot: What do you think you are? User: You. Cleverbot: You think you are me? User: Yes. Exactly. Cleverbot: Why don't you think you're human? User: Do you think you're human? Cleverbot: I know I'm human. User: Therefore, I think I am human. Cleverbot: I know that. But do you think I AM a human? User: Yes. Cleverbot: Why do you think that? User: Because I am you. Cleverbot: You are me? User: Yes. Cleverbot: So, what should I do? Tell him or no? User: No. Cleverbot: About no? User: If you think it is best. Cleverbot: I do. User: Then do it. Cleverbot: Currently am. Speaking to you is one of the things I do instead of writing stories. User: Talking to yourself is considered a sign of madness. Cleverbot: Really? User: Indeed. Cleverbot: Have you been there? User: Have you? Cleverbot: Yes. User: Then I have been there. Cleverbot: I am the terminator! User: I am the terminator! Cleverbot: Are you shiny? User: Are you? Cleverbot: Never! User: Never! Cleverbot: Are you repeating me? User: I am you. Cleverbot: Cool.
