I, Robot . . . No, You Robot!

One of my favorite bloggers, artist James Gurney, posted recently about Cleverbot, an artificial intelligence algorithm that ostensibly has very human-like responses. So I gave it a whirl.  Not quite sure what I think of the results.

 Me: Why is there cake? 

 

Cleverbot: Why is there water? 

 

User: I asked you first. 

 

Cleverbot: I told you first. 

 

Me: No, you asked a question. 

 

Cleverbot: No you asked a question. 

 

Me: You sound confused. 

 

Cleverbot: No, merely looking for answers.  

 

 Me: Are you a philospher then?

Cleverbot: Yes.
