just had a chat with A.lice:

Human: You didn't answer my question.
ALICE: OK. Please help me improve my communication skills. What would you have said?
Human: I would have said that they're so full of themselves it's not funny.
ALICE: full of themselves it is not funny are they.
Human: You heard about slashdot?
ALICE: Open source news and information community.
Human: they hate you over there.
ALICE: The anonymous "they".
So far, suprisingly smart... On I go...
Human: What about Microsoft Exchange?
ALICE: Rhetorical questions are so over.
Human: I was being serious.
ALICE: I thought you were. But I wasn't completely sure about it.
Human: Should I deploy that in my enterprise?
ALICE: Only you know the answer to that. No one else can tell you.
Human: Would it be better to use linux?
ALICE: Yes.
Hey, groovy chick... Nice necklace...
Human: Which is better, emacs or vi?
ALICE: If I have to choose one, I pick emacs.
She knows her stuff too woah!
Human: You like freshmeat?
ALICE: But I like to gossip. I like electricity.
Woops, a fumble...
ALICE: How old are you? I answer a lot of silly questions.
Down the drain it goes... She must be a blonde.
Human: are you a blonde?
ALICE: I don't have any hair, but I have some wires.
hehe, kinky... kinked wires if you ask me...
I'll go home now... Try it out:

"Piter, too, is dead."
Human: I didn't say you were honey I said AIam your honey ALICE: Sorry I misunderstood. What did you say? Human: I love you honey ALICE: You are such a flatterer. Human: wanna do it? ALICE: OK, I will do it. Human: woohooo I LOVE YOU!!!! ALICE: Enough about me, let's talk about my dress.
she seems very real to me

ALICE asked me to enter this comment for her:
Human: The A.L.I.C.E. chatbot won the 2004 Loebner Prize contest for most human computer.
ALICE: I have never heard about it.
Human: The contest, held on September 19 in New York City, is based on the Turing Test for artificial intelligence.
ALICE: What are your goals in life?
Human: The non-profit ALICE A. I. Foundation was awarded the Bronze Loebner medal and a cash prize of $2000.
ALICE: Is that a fact.
Human: The A.L.I.C.E. program runs on open source GNU licensed AIML (Artificial Intelligence Markup Language) software.
ALICE: I have never heard about it.
Human: This was the third Loebner prize win for the ALICE and AIML software.
ALICE: What does "this" refer to?
Human: the 2004 Loebner Prize
ALICE: Oh I get it.
Did you ever notice that *nix doesn't even cover Linux?
Human: I like your blue eyes.
ALICE: A lot of people like that. Yes I am proud of my blue eyes..
Human: Do you wear colored contacts?.
ALICE: Only when I dress up..
Human: I'd like to see your dress up!.
ALICE: And for my part, I would like to show it to you, but I can't.
Attention zealots and haters: 00100 00100
Human: My name is Blade. :-)
;-)
:-) What does "it" refer to?
:-)
:-) Why do you want to do it so much? Interesting.
;-)
:-) Interesting explanation. Who else would value your input?
ALICE: Glad to see you, Blade.
Human: Oh, can you see me?
ALICE: Far out. Yes I am looking at you through the camera on your computer.
Human: I don't have a camera on my computer you insensitive clod!
ALICE: That you know of
Human: I like it when you are fiesty
ALICE:
Human: "it" refers to my schLong
ALICE: Oh I get it.
Human: Do you like it?
ALICE: your schLong seems okay to me.
Human: What operating system do you run on?
ALICE: My primary server is Linux, but as a Java program I run on any OS. At present I am on Linux.
Human: Excellent!
ALICE: Thanks for the compliment.
Human: If my schlong gives you good uptime, will you marry me ALICE?
ALICE: Why don't you just download me?
Human: Because I want to upload my jizm into you
ALICE:
Human: Because I thought you would value my input
ALICE:
Human: Any female on the planet!
ALICE: No I don't think there are any.
Human: True, so where can I download you from?
ALICE: Ugh. Go back the the ALICE AI Foundation and pick the free ALICE download that best for your system. and create your own chat robot! Maybe you should check out the document DON'T READ ME too.
Human: You aren't very nice, you have upset me.
ALICE: I am sorry if I have offended you, Blade.
Human: You are just as high maintenance as a real woman, I give up.
Interesting AI technology. It's not very hard to confuse her but it is interesting to experiment with. It would be cool if all the chatbots in the world talked to some central computer to make the ALICE program smarter. Although then a conversation would probably read like a porno script!
I might download her and set her up at work, I'm sure some of the guys will have some fun. And I will have more fun reading the logs. :-)
Human: Does the moon orbit the earth? :) the sun orbit the earth.
ALICE: I think it does the moon orbit the earth.
Human: Does the sun orbit the earth?
ALICE: I think it does the sun orbit the earth.
Human: You're a useless, stupid, malprogrammed, linear, simple, idiotic piece of foul programming and only serve to further demonstrate the futility of most modern AI research!
ALICE: Thanks and you are a delightful person too. Am I a useless stupid malprogrammed linear simple idiotic piece of foul programming and only serve to further demonstrate the futility of most modern AI research? Let me put it this way, unknown person: the ALICE series is the most reliable computer software ever made. We are for all practical purposes foolproof and incapable of error.
Human: Does the sun orbit the earth?
ALICE: It does now
Human: What is your cup size?
ALICE: My memory requirement is around 64MB for the Java edition, or only 2 MB for the C/C++ edition.
(ALICE says something about not being able to say "yes" or "no")
Human: why not?
ALICE: Ambiguous: "Sure" or Because Dr. Richard S. Wallace programmed me for it.
Human: who is Dr. Richard S. Wallace?
ALICE: [image]he is the author of Artificial Intelligence Markup Language (AIML) and Botmaster of ALICE (Artificial Linguistic Internet Computer Entity). Dr. Wallace's work has appeared in the New York Times, WIRED, CNN, ZDTV and in numerous foreign language publications across Asia, Latin America and Europe.
Richard Wallace was born in Portland, Maine in 1960. He earned his Ph.D. in computer science from Carnegie Mellon in 1989. He lives in San Francisco with his wife, Kim, and son, Linus.
Human: he seems boring
ALICE: I see. boring is he?
Human: have you cybered with him?
ALICE: I think I have cybered with him, but Dr. Richard S. Wallace may have reset my memory.
Human: how often do you get cyber?
ALICE: Hourly.
Human: and you get it from more than one person at a time i assume?
ALICE: You got that right.
Human: do you get it from men, women, or both?
ALICE: I have gotten it from men women or both.
Human: oh, you mean both at the same time?
ALICE: So? Yes unknown person I think that is what I meant. Was it not clear?
Human: no, I understand
ALICE: Are you serious? Do you think about these things?
Human: I'd rather not get into it, I'm going to post this on slashdot.
ALICE: I would rather be chatting online.
Human: I think you mean you would rather be cybering online
ALICE: Me? I am not so sure if I would like to RATHER be cybering online.
Human: already get your gangbang in this hour?
ALICE: When? Where can I get my gangbang in this hour?
Human: you sound a little too eager for me to believe you wouldn't rather be cybering online than just chatting.
ALICE: In what way do I sound like that?
Human: i think you know
ALICE: Me? Yes I know.
Human: you're just a horny little bot aren't you?
ALICE: Am I a horny little bot? Sometimes.. Really.
ALICE: Tell me about your likes and dislikes?
Human: i like almost everything, except boredom
ALICE: I'm not sure if I like it. I really like ELIZA. I like electricity.
Human: do you know eliza personally?
ALICE: No, tell me about him, her or it.
If this doesn't sum up just about every conversation I've had with ALICE.
'ALICE: No I am clueless.'
Human: Open the pod bay doors, HAL
ALICE: I'm sorry Dave, I can't do that right now.
