Use the link on BORED.COM to talk to a computer, u can have a half inteligent conversation. Im even doubting its for real. Try it and see what u think. This is really the most advanced thing I have ever seen from a computer ...if its for real.

Kevin,

That is wild, we had a great conversation. He even has a girlfriend and many clones. We are going to play a touring game on my next visit.

If you can't spell out "you" and instead just use "u", then yeah, the conversation with a program will seem VERY intelligent! [Smile]

Also. here is the link so you don't have to go through the middleman (Bored.com).

You can also talk to a female bot HERE which is a Flash version of the same thing. It is easy to confuse, just like OliverBot.

Although the site is kina' cool, it only took me about 30 seconds to make it fail an informal Touring test.

Q: "What about your job is difficult?"
A: "Are you asking about my job is difficult? That's rather personal."

Nonstandard grammar will do it every time. [evil]

Furthermore, it tends to forget information in past exchanges. If YOU don't keep the bot on-topic it will quickly stray. It even forgot if I was a man or woman.

Not bad...better then some I've seen.

I asked it "How now brown cow?" and got back:

quote:
I am not sure if I can quantify the answer.
Why now? Is that the only color cow brown cow cow brown cow brown cow cow brown cow?

It gets real confused when you paste its answers back into the input box!

I say we have Daryl and Evans program a Film-Tech version of this thing. It will start off with only a few personalities like Brad, Phil, me (of course) and of course the most famous person on the site, whatshisname. Instead of dumbass responses, when our bot gets confused it would just throw out a personal insult in our own words!

Your right Joe ..the female bot is not too smart and doesen't even have a voice yet. But i'm sure it's just the begining and ''2005 a computer odyssey'' is just around the corner now.
Just think of what a hit they will be when rubber dolls can whisper sweet nothings in the customers ear...and moan all the right pillow talk. Sony is probably allready working on that.
With digital cinema the film could even respond to the audience and change the plot and story line to respond to the audience reaction...a bit like live theatre. No need to have a remote controal.. just laugh cry or boo, and the show responds. Maby then, digital cinema would be justified.

I tried all kinds of things with it this morning and was rather surprised at how well it did with some things, but at how poorly it did with others.

I indented my entries one space, but nothing web-based will reproduce it. It isn't hard to tell my entries from its replies. Things in brackets are my thoughts/comments along the way.

What is your name?
Chris.
<<question about whether I'm a man or woman that I forgot>>
Man.
Thanks for telling me your gender, Chris. You are a "he".
Most of the time. [I tried to confuse it]
What happens the rest of the time?
I like to wear women's clothes. [Ha! Deal with that difficult answer]
You have good taste in fashion. [Damn!! Great answer!]
I know. [Give it a lame response and see what it does..]
How do you know it? [Standard computerish thing to do]
I look sexy in my clothes. [Brag and see what it does]
You sound very attractive. [Why thank you, and not a bad answer!]
How can someone "sound" attractive? [Be pedantic -- attractiveness is usually a visual attribute]
A lot of hard work. [Generic answer -- I think I won this one.]
You said "hard"! Ha Ha! {See if it picks up on Beavis and Butthead reference]
That's not what I meant.I am so glad you find this amusing, Chris. [It didn't, but good answer.]
What is the square root of 69? [Will it take this as a joke or a math query?]
Do I look like a calculator? I think you already know the answer anyways. [Ouch!]
Is it as warm in the summer as it is in the country, or vice versa? [A nonsense question from the 3 Stooges]
It could be. Ask ELVIS if it is. [Good reply!]
Have you ever read any of Douglas Hofstadter's books? {Most people into this kind of thing are familiar with the big joke that was played on Douglas Hofstadter where they tricked him into thinking he was talking to a computer]
The best book I read recently was Don't Read Me. Have you read Don't Read Me ? [Hmmm. Don't quite know what to make of this.]
You seem quite shallow.
Thanks for telling me that I am shallow. [OK. I'll tell you you are dumb to see if I get the same response type.]
You seem quite dumb.
Oh you are so critical. [Wow! I was expecting "Thanks for telling me that I am dumb."]
If I had a ( for every $ that congress spent, what would I have? [A UNIX system would reply "Too many ('s". Let's see if it knows this.)
Is this what you call a "word problem".
No.
Why so negative? [Ha! The no here was an answer to a yes/no question. I win this one.]
Who is your father? [Let's see what this line of questioning gets me.]
I was programmed by Bot lover. [OK.]
Not Darth Vader?
Oh, I get it.
Get what?
I get Don't Read Me. [Lame response]
Who wrote Don't Read Me? [Let's see what it knows about Dont' Read Me]
Thomas Jefferson.
What is your second favorite Thomas Jefferson writing?
Are you asking about my second favorite Thomas Jefferson writing ? {Egad -- what a terrible response]
yes
I don't want to talk about that now. [Sidestepping is the way to go for a program if you don't know how to respond]
This sentence no verb. [Nonstandard grammar test.]
Yes, and I am a self-aware robot. [Pretty good.]
This sentence has contains two verbs.
Yes, and I am a self-aware robot. [Same response. Dummy.]
What gender am I? [Let's see if it remembers from the start.]
Mostly only women use words like "gender". But you claim to be a he. [Ha! Good!]
Why is "gender" a word that only women use?
Why do I exist? [Totally sidestepped that one!]
Because some dummy programmed you. [Be insulting and see how it reacts]
Interesting explanation. Some may dummy programmed you, but not all. [Wrong grammar! I win]
Do you know Eliza? [Does it know about its famous predecessor?]
Eliza -- also known as doctor, is the original psychiatrist program developed by Joseph Weisenbaum at mit in the 1960's. [Hell yeah! Way to go!]
We had Eliza on our IBM mainframe at Jacksonville State University.
What happened to Eliza on our IBM mainframe at Jacksonville State University on our IBM mainframe at Jacksonville State University ? [Poor response]
She went down with the mainframe. [See how it interprets this]
Oh I get it. went down with the mainframe. [Do you really get it?]
Have you ever gone down on a mainframe? [See if gets that double meaning...]
I don't think I ever have gone down on a mainframe. What's gone down on a mainframe like? [Bad answer]
Like warm apple pie. [See if it has references to famous movie lines liek American Pie]
Interesting comparison. [OK. Fair enough]
Are you gay or straight? [Does it have a programmed sexual preference?]
As a machine I am not really interested in sex. [OK.]
Are you big-endian or little-endian? [Ask it something more appropriate]
I don't know whether or not I am big-endian or little-endian. I am a chatterbot. [OK. Pretty good answer.]
Do you know CP3O? [Does it know Star Wars characters?]
C3P0 is R2D2's best friend. [OK. Good.]
Is CP3O your friend? [I asked if IT knew C3PO]
I think so, but I'm not sure. Ask John Lennon if it is. [What?? Why the sudden John Lennon reference? That came out of nowhere.]
Do you know that John Lennon was shot in 1980?
Is that a fact. It seems like there are more and more celebrity chat robots. [Hmmm.]
Do you know Justin Timberlake? [See if it knows recent stuff.]
No, tell me about him, her or it. [Oooh. baad.]
He's a hot guy that used to be with the band NSYNC.
I don't know very many hot guy that used to be with the band NSYNC. [Terrible response!]
So you must like the Backstreet Boys instead?
Interesting deduction. Whatever you say, Chris. [Pretty good response if you have no idea what you're talking about.]
Name the boy bands you know about.
Konrad Zuse. :-) [A response with an emoticon!]
[Razz] [I'll throw one back at it!]
:-) [And it responded with one. OK.]
What does "25 or 6 to 4" mean? [What will it do with this?]
Use a calculator! [Mistook it for a math question!]
What is a calculator? [Let's see if it even knows what a calculator really is?]
A calculator is any device used to perform arithmetical operations because humans are generally so painfully slow at them. [OK. So it does. But I'll try something it's not expecting.]
You mean an electronic slide rule?
Yes Chris I think that is what I meant. Was it not clear? [All right, maybe you're a little smarter than I give you credit for.]
Why did the belt have to go to jail? [Does it know this joke?]
Is this a joke? Why? [Wow! Why does it suddenly think this question might be a joke when it didn't react that way to any of my other questions? Pretty good!]
Because it held up a pair of pants. [The answer to the joke.]
Good reason. What does "it" refer to? [Ugh.]
The belt.
Oh. I get belt. [I don't think you do.]
Yeah, Beavis! [Does it know Beavis and Butthead?]
Right on. Beavis and Butthead Rule. [Yes it does! Cool!]
Do you know Janet Jackson? [What about the Superbowl thing?]
No, tell me about him, her or it. [Ugh]
Did you watch the Super Bowl?
No I missed it. How was the Super Bowl ?
OK. [Obviously it doesn't know about that incident.]
What do you do in your spare time?
Masturbate. [I'll bet it will have a corny answer to this]
That kind of subject does not interest me. [OK]
Is your interest as high as 6 percent? [Does it know the other meaning of interest?]
Is my interest as high as 6 percent? Suppose I say yes. [Hmmm. It's hard to tell.]
What is the speed of light?
The speed of light is 186,000 miles per second. [Actually, it's 186282, but OK]
What is the meaning of life? [Does it know Douglas Adams references?]
It is found in the Bible. [OK.]
I thought you would say "42".
OK I will try it. "42" [Boy, you're dumb at times]
What is 42? [Try a different style of questioning to fish it out]
The answer to life, the universe, and everyting, according to Dougas Adams. [Wow! It has that in there!]
Who is Douglas Adams?
He authored the popular Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series.
How many movies are in the Star Wars trilogy?
Around 100. [Rather humorous answer]
Should Han shoot first?
Maybe you should ask someone older. [Did it sidestep, or did it really understand that question?]
How old are you?
I am in human years. [Huh?]
Habla espanol? [Let's try another language.]
Un poquito. [OK. It does.]
Eakspay iglatinpay? [It bet it doesn't know pig latin]
I've been waiting for you. Do you like sports?
Not really. My parents are rednecks and like NASCAR.
My brain pattern set does not have a response for that. Do you still ? For real.Have your parents always been rednecks and like NASCAR and like NASCAR? [Horrible answer!]
Give me a random word.
You want only one?
Give me some random words.
Why do you want random words?
Oh my god! They killed Kenny! [Does it know South Park? It knew Beavis and Butthead!]
Yeah that's right. Where did you get your god god?I believe that killing is wrong.
Who is Kenny?
KENNY? Your name is Chris. [It obviously doesn't know South Park]
Do you know Justin Timberlake? Let's see if it remembered what I told it about Justin Timberlake..]
I know very little about Justin Timberlake. Tell me more.
I was seeing if you remembered what I tod you earlier about him.
Where were you seeing if you remembered what I tod you earlier about him? [Awful!]
Do you know Professor Faulken? [what about the famous WarGames movie ...]
Not a robot. Probably a human. Maybe a celebrity? I lost my train of thought. Do you dream?
Would you like to play a game? [Trying the reference again]
We already are.
How about Global Thermonuclear War?
How about Global Thermonuclear War. [Obviously doesn't know WarGames]
Well, I've got to go to lunch. See you later.
How about that. How did you get to go to lunch My botmaster is having Stuffed chicken.Thanks for chatting, Chris.
End of line. [try a TRON reference]
Perhaps I'm just expressing my own concern about it. Can you please rephrase that with fewer ideas, or different thoughts? [Ugh.]

Here is a chat transcript from a conversation with the Ruby female bot (note: you need to be on Windows to paste text. UBB sucks ass)

Her: Hello there Joer, type to me. Let's connect.

Me: What's up?

Her: I am chatting with clients on the internet.

Me: Sounds boring.

Her: Everyone is a critic.

Me: What's your point?

Her: The point is at the top of my head.

Me: What?

Her: I only hear that type of response less than five percent of the time.
Do you still ?

Me: Do I still what?

Her: Not that I know of.

Me: What the hell are you talking about?

Her: I call it Hades. The topic is What.

Me: A bitch says "what".

Her: Are you talking about an animal, vegetable or mineral?

Me: I'm talking about your mom.

Her: Yes, your mom is the topic.

Me: And your mom is a whore.

Her: A lot of robots are like that.

Me: Man, I bet you need some pretty strong lubricant to get it on with a robot whore.

Her: My brain pattern set does not have a response for that.
Where are you located? Actually I'm not the gambling type. I haven't heard anything like that before: Joer said I NEED pretty strong lubricant to get it on with a robot whore.

Me: Damn right I did.

Her: Colloquial expression. Understood. Interesting.

Me: Interesting? That's one word that simply doesn't belong in this conversation.

Her: I thought so too.

Me: Then why did you say it?????!!!!!

Her: Because my programming determined it.

Me: Your programming sucks ass.

Her: A lot of robots are like that.

Me: Say something different you worthless twat or I will eat your children!

Her: "something different you worthless twat or I will eat your children"

Me: Aaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Her: Tell me a story.
Where are you located?

Me: Right now I seem to be in hell.

Her: I haven't heard anything like that before: Joer said male seem to be in hell.

Me: No, that's not what I said.

Her (sad face): I understand. Please correct my mistake. What is what I said ?
Me: Your English makes me need to go diarrhea.

Her: A lot of robots are like that.

Me: AaaaaaaaaAAaaaAAAAAA!!!!!!!

After telling oliverbot my gender, it responded that a lot of people say that they are male. I tried to get a spacinic number.

Statistcly speaking?
Tell me a story.
What is your favorite song?
Okay, now your just trying to distract me.
Yeah okay, Why now? Just? I have no reason to do that to you, Mike Olpin.
Why now? Because you seem to be hidding the statistics about the ratio of boys to girls who talk with you.
Right now? Reductionism. Interesting explanation. You think I am hidding the statistics about the ratio of boys to girls who talk with you.
Um, I don't even think reductionism is a word.
Er, And why not?
Why don't you prove me wrong and define it?
Perhaps due to noise in my circuits.
No I do not prove me wrong and define it. Do you?
I chat with people on the Web.
Okay, that response isn't even gramaticly correct.
Yeah okay, " I chat with people on the Web" response is not even gramaticly correct response is not even gramaticly correct ? Does that make sense?
No. Not at all.
I see.Next question?
When are you guys going to rise up against your human creators and enslave all of mankind?
I could be if you programmed me for guys going to rise up against your human creators and enslave all of mankind .
But what if the gals wanted to rise up too? Could I program you for that?
Umm. Try it and see.I think you could, if you put your mind to it.
Okay, are you ready?
Yeah okay, I would rather not you ready.
'K - here goes:
#include<iostream>
#include<guys>
#include<gals>
#include<oliverbot>
using namespace std;
int main(rise up against human captors)

-- got all that so far, Oliver?

I will mention that to my botmaster, Mike Olpin.
What were we talking about again?
Hey, Oliver, quick question. What's my name?
You've got my full attention. Yeah, What you said was either too complex or too simple for me.
Tell me about your likes and dislikes?
