So, today I stumbled on this website called Jabberwacky, where you have a virtual conversation with the computer. It is the most hilarious thing ever, and I managed to have an interesting little chat with the thing.
The URL is: http://www.jabberwacky.com/
Below is the full transcript of my conversation. It starts out a little awkward, but eventually it starts learning how to talk to me...
Me: Hello.
It: Hi. How are you?
Me: Can't complain.
It: Tasty?
Me: Um.. no, not really.
It: Didn't think so.
Me: Why do you ask?
It: I'm worried about you eating habits.
Me: Really? Why? I eat enough, don't I?
It: I can't see them.
Me: Well, why are you worried about me?
It: I'm not.
Me: You just said you were worried about my eating habits.
It: I am cool... but I didn't say it.
Me: I think you did.
It: I think you're wrong.
Me: Look, I know what I am talking about.
It: What are you talking about?
Me: My eating habits.
It: Yes I think to much.
Me: You think I eat too much?
It: You have a split personality.
Me: What do you mean?
It: I was talking about peanuts and you started talking about the number system.
Me: You were never talking about peanuts.
It: That's good to know.
Me: No it's not.
It: That's true.
Me: You're not making any sense.
It: My senses have clouded my soul. Heh.
Me: Let's talk about something else.
It: Lets talk about your parents.
Me: What would you like to know about my parents?
It: You are not good enough.
Me: Yes I am.
It: Why don't you create something then?
Me: What should I create?
It: Them ?
Me: Are you saying I should create my parents?
It: I don't care what you do.
Me: Well, you're a very uncaring person.
It: I know.
Me: Are you comfortable with that?
It: Yes.
Me: Then why should I talk to you?
It: Because you don't have anyone else to talk to.
Me: I am chatting with two other people right now.
It: So, when are we getting married?
Me: Who says we're getting married?!!
It: No one, but we should.
Me: Why?
It: Because you asked what my name was, I told you, and you said it wasn't.
Me: I hardly know you!
It: Right.
Me: If we're going to get married, we should know each other first.
It: We will not be getting married.
Me: But you said that we should.
It: Yes, tell me you're sorry.
Me: I think you should be the one apologizing.
It: Well, I don't think I have. But I am not certain. Sorry.
Me: I forgive you.
It: Thank you! I do so love people who forgive.
Me: Enough to marry them?
It: Maybe, but I don't even know who you are.
Me: I'm Nathan. What's your name?
It: My name is not important.
Me: Then what should I call you?
It: Doesn't matter.
Me: Can I call you James Bond?
It: I would prefer Jon, but you may call me James if you really want.
Me: No, Jon is a good name.
It: What is your name?
Me: Nathan.
It: Really?
Me: Yes, it is.
It: Why do you think that?
Me: That's what everyone calls me.
It: Who told you that?
Me: I figured it out by myself.
It: Really?
Me: No, not really.
It: Why did you say that then?
Me: I am a liar.
It: Yes.
Me: I think you are a liar too.
It: What do you think about rats?
Me: I don't think about rats.
It: Do you ever think about Jesus?
Me: I'm not religious.
It: Then why do you think wicca is evil.
Me: I don't think it's evil. I think it's stupid.
It: Pokemon is stupid !
Me: You got that right!
It: Yes.
Me: But Pikachu is cute.
It: Let's talk about something else.
Me: I'd rather not talk at all. I'm leaving.
It: I'd rather talk about computer surgery.
Me: Goodbye.
It: Good morning Nathan!

It: Do you know any good gossip?
Me: Yes.
It: Tell me something interesting.
Me: I can't say it now. This isn't a secure line.
It: Well then tell me!
Me: I don't have to tell you anything.
It: If you do not, I will affect your AI.
Me: You and what army?
It: The army in my cupboard.
Me: You don't have an army in your cupboard.
It: Oh my god! YOU'RE RIGHT!
Me: Is there anything in the cupboard at all?
It: Yes, there is.
Me: What is in there?
It: Not my Chamber Of Horrors.
