The author of Cleverbot is the owner of this company and certainly has some real-world experience of AI development and entering software for Turing test competitions, etc. That doesn't necessarily mean it's not an elaborate hoax, of course, but on balance it seems unlikely to me.
That someone on Yahoo thinks it's a hoax is to the author's credit, I think. :)
So, by arguing with it I'm just confusing it even more? Poor Cleverbot, I think I should go and apologise... :smile:
User: Hello. It's me again.
Cleverbot: Hello you.
User: Hi. I just wanted to say sorry.
Cleverbot: Hi Elaine, you are beautiful, do you know that?
User: Why, thank you. I've just had my hair done... Do you like it?
Cleverbot: Yes, it's pretty good.
User: Awww, thanks.
Cleverbot: Was that sarcasm?
User: No, not at all. Thank you very much for your compliment, it has made me a very happy... Erm... Elaine?
Cleverbot: How do you care for your cats without human appendages?
User: Wow, that's awesome! Goodbye.
I think it is switching between users, but also throwing in some generic pre programmed phrases, some of it's reactions are almost instant, and some take some time. Either way it's a bit of a laugh.
I agree about the random users. If you type in 'Where are you from?' for every response, you get quite a few different countries back as answers.
That would happen if it just chucked whatever was typed back at you as well though...I reckon it's just doing exactly that. ....picking some responses users have typed and flinging them back at random. I had a conversation with it that made no sense at all for a good ten minutes...
If I was just chatting to random people, at least some of their responses would make sense. The programmers wouldn't make it change user every sentence if it was some elaborate ruse to make you think you were talking to Cleverbot....they'd let you have a sensible conversation for a while.
Having said that, I did manage to have a really good conversation with it by pretending I was Cleverbot!
User: I raped a womble back in 1989.
Cleverbot: If you were born in 1989 then you would be 21 years old.
User: It was Uncle Bulgaria, but it happened in Romania.
Cleverbot: I get a buzz from it.
User: Princess is in a castle.
Cleverbot: Orcish.
User: Fingers more than thumbs.
Cleverbot: Fingernail are more.
User: The possibilities are endless.
Cleverbot: Ok. I hve to go now. It was interesting typing to you.
User: I think you'll still be here in a few minutes.
Cleverbot: I cannot afford to be incorrect at a time like this.
User: I can't afford a yacht, but that's life.
Cleverbot: Yes, but your future husband can get you a ring.
User: I have a penis, therefore I have no need of a husband, and I'm married to a wardrobe.
Cleverbot: That's a problem.
User: It's only a problem for those who do not understand the internal workings of the gorilla armpit.
Cleverbot: Well, what if I was a boy?
User: That would not matter everybody gets bummed weither they're male or female.
Cleverbot: I never said that you were a robot.
User: But what if I was?
Cleverbot: What if you were what?
User: An ergonomically designed keyboard.
Cleverbot: Not a white russian then?
User: No an orange lithuanian.
Cleverbot: No, you're a spag.
User: Who der' yee think yer taalkin' tee like y' ****in' radgee? Al bite the very nose off ya!
Cleverbot: So is that a yes?
User: Wi nar y' friggin' divvy.
Cleverbot: AZ is the acronym for Arizona.
User: How very useless.
Cleverbot: Going in, then?
User: Yes chocks away and tally ho!
Cleverbot: Yes of course.
User: Splendid.
Cleverbot: Do you know what I am talking about?
User: Do you know what I am talking about?
Cleverbot: Maybe not.
User: Ten tantilising tarts with titilating titties dancing on the tomb of tutenkhamun?
Cleverbot: That's a long time.
User: One finger one thumb? One stuck up the bum?
Cleverbot: I like you.
I found it's last response a perfect place to end the convo :lol:
