Thread Name: BS: A conversation with Cleverbot
Subject: RE: BS: A conversation with Cleverbot
It's Jim, not Tim! I don't have this kind of problem with computers. Here's a continuation of the above conversation:
User: What do you think of folk music? Cleverbot: Prove to me that I am not real. User: No, I want to know what you think of folk music. Cleverbot: What I think of who? User: Folk music. That is, music played by just plain folks. Cleverbot: Should be iPod. User: Well, someone has to sing the songs that are recorded on iPod. Cleverbot: You are the one talking funny not me. User: I get the impression you've never heard of folk music. Cleverbot: What were we talking about ? User: You have a short attention span, too. Cleverbot: Yes, tell me what we talking about. User: Folk music. Do you like it? Cleverbot: It's nothing special. User: Fair enough. It's all a matter of taste anyway. Do you know any musicians? Cleverbot: Context. Perhaps. But you can't assume. User: Have you ever heard of, say, Pete Seeger? Cleverbot: No. User: Well, Pete Seeger is the archetypal folk singer. Cleverbot: Thats gross. User: No, 'archetypal' doesn't mean 'gross.' It's a good thing. Cleverbot: You are very nice to me thank you. User: You're welcome. I wasn't trying to be nice, though. Cleverbot: Well you told me I wasn't very clever, and that's mean... User: I said no such thing! Cleverbot: Yes. You did. You make me sad. User: Well, let's start over. Is there something else we can discuss besides folk music? Cleverbot: Bring up a subject.
