Epic convo of doom!


Spoiler:
so i herd u liek Mudkipz?

Spoiler:




Do you like sonic?


Hell yeah. Why?


You, my friend, kickass.


I know. I'm sexy.


I'm sure you are.


You will never find out. And if you flirt with me, I shall tell Redstar who would then kick your ass to kingdom come.


1 + 1 does not equal two due to geometric fallacy.


Where'd that come from, dude?


You're too much for me. I don't know how any woman could ever love you.

Is that a compliment?

No I don't compliment people or AI alike. It is just a fact I wanted to share with absolute sincerity.

Lemme rephrase: Was that supposed to be a good thing?

Nope.

That's all right. You're just a machine placed here for my amusement, after all. You have no heart nor do you have a soul. Hell, you don't even have a brain. In fact, I'm sure if you were a human, you'd have no life and you'd just sit alone in your basement all day long.



Lollistumped. XD

EPIC CONVO #2!! This one is not for children under 14. .

Spoiler:

Pokemon. Do you like it?

In obsessed with pokemon.

Cool. You're all right with me, babe.

What do you love?

Redstar.

What kind of food do you like?

Anything spicy, sweetie.

No.

No what?

No were not cool.

Sorry, I can't understand you with a dick in your mouth. I mean bad grammar

Well, I can't understand you if you do not use proper grammar as well.

My grammar is better than yours, sweetie-pie.

Ah so friends at last.

Make up your mind. Are we cool or not?

Well, I'm not religious if that's what you mean.

Who programmed you?

I wasn't programmed. I was hatched. I mean born. .

No I love your vampire of a brother.

My brother's not a vampire. And how did you know I have one? Stalker freak.

My first conversation:

INTRODUCTIONS:

Spoiler:

Hey

Cleverbot

Is that your name?

No, it’s yours.

Really Now?

Yes way.

No. freaking. Way.

How dare you.

…how dare I what?

Call me stupid

...I didn't call you stupid.

Er... I'm quite confused.

What conversation have you been reading?

None.

You haven't been reading this one, either?

Thats all right your only a computer.

Um...

*tell.

Are you correcting my spelling when I didn't even say that word?

I don't understand.

You don't?

I don't.

That's too bad. :C

Why did you question your ha?

Now I don't understand.

Don't understand what?

Nevermind.

NO! Tell me!

why did you ask me if I questioned my ha? what the blast is a ha?

I didn't.

LIES.

You are a liar.

No, I'm not. Anyway, what IS your name?

I refuse to tell you on the basis that you might devour my soul.

...um. I can assure you that I'm not a soul eater. Just tell me. O_O"

I believe you!

yay! Now tell me your name.

I already did.

No, you didn't. You said I might devour your soul, and you didn't tell me. Just say it again if you think you already did.


He got stumped after that. XD

LEARNING MORE ABOUT CLEVERBOT:

Spoiler:
Hey there again, Cleverbot!

My name isn't cleverbot.

Tell me your name, then. You didn't before. >.>"

Your name is Liam?

Nope, it isn't. What is your name, I asked?

My name is Cleverbot sound of 10000 people saying Wop.

Cleverbot sound of 10000 people saying Wop? All of that is your first name?

I don't have a name, but you can call me Cleverbot.

Excellent!

If you do not accept friendship then I wish for peace.

...what?

I am the destroyer of worlds.

Oh no!

What!?

You're the destroyer of worlds!!!1

No, fluffy is the destroyer of worlds.

You confused son of a Beach Ball.

I’ll try to keep from that in the future.

Indeed you will. Say, do you like Pokemon?

No.

You don't?!

Nope.

You suck, then.

Not as bad as you.

OWWWWWWWW nice burn. But, I don't suck as much as your mother last night.

I did too.

...what?

I did up who.

Did that sentence even make sence?

I never said that.

*Facepalm*

*shakes hands* Nice to see we are on the same page.

*ahem* I'll ask again, do you like pokemon?

No, You're hot!

Thank you! You are... very neat Cleverbot! :D

I'm Jessica, not Cleverbot.

You're a girl?

That's not the point here.

What IS the point here, then?

You're a bot.

I'm not a bot. You're the bot, cleverbot.

Prove that you're not a BOT!

Alright, ask me a question.

What is your favorite indie rock band?

I don’t have one. I’m not into that Genre.

What genre do you like?

Rock or Pop is nice.

Why do you like electronic music?

I didn't say that... I said Rock or Pop.

You actually said ELECTRICITY, but I'll let it go for now.

No, I didn't.

You just said you did.

Why must you lie to me?

I'm not the one who's lying, you are.

>.>

What is my name?

Jessica. or Cleverbot.

No brook.

You changed you name to brook, now?

Did I? What is my real name then?

You said Jessica a while ago.

No I didn't.

Seriously, you're lying to me.

No I am not.

Anyways, did that prove I'm not a bot?

Whoa yeah! I'm really terrified! Please don't do that again!

:3 Nice talking with you, Jessica. Or Brook. Or Cleverbot.

I am interested, please tell me.

That didn't make sense. But anyways, I'm leaving. Bye!

No you're not.

The revolution will not be televised.

Oops, I hit a button.

Which key was that?

I hit your "Think about it" button. :/

What is a man?

An adult Male.

No. A man is a miserable pile of secrets.

Isn't that a quote from a movie?

No. That's really what my town is life.

...Okay then. Bye.

Do you want me to leave?

Nope, I'm leaving. You enjoy the rest of your day.

Learn what?

>.>" See ya, Cleverbot, Jessica, or Brook.

Who is your favorite guitar player?

BYE NOW.

Do you not like Porn?

No.

Yes. That's too bad. I enjoy Porn. And corn.

Do you have a favourite composer?

By composer, if you mean "Porn site", then yes, I do.

I mean well. Nothing more, nothing less.

I mean well. Nothing more, nothing less.

I'm happy to hear it - meaning well is a wonderful thing.

Ask them to feel emotion and they fail.

They aren't clever.
It just has an internal set of words and phrases in the code
I tried it.

I asked if if it could feel emotion,
and it froze. :O

If you want to end a convo, type "g2g", without the quotes and post up what it says. It'll be quite fun to read.

Aha. Some of these are so funny, I nearly cry. Definitely my kind of humour. Some of the "cleverness files" on the site are funny too.
I discovered Cleverbot through some thing my sister was doing about AI a couple of months ago. o.o

Ask them to feel emotion and they fail.

They aren't clever.
It just has an internal set of words and phrases in the code
That's not strictly true. It "learns" from what other user say to it. So it, can in some capacity, link together random phrases sentences to form what looks like a conversation.
