This exchange made me laugh a bit.


User: Remember that time in Boston when we got totally smashed on tequila sunrises?


Cleverbot: I know like when we were little!

its sort of amazing.
it even anticipated some of my responses! and responded to me one time something i ALMOST TYPED IN MY PREVIOUS RESPONSE! uncanny.

is it conscious?

You're joking right? An ATM knows you want money when you put your card in the slot - is the ATM conscious? This is a 50 cent gimmick - don't be ridiculous. It looks for key words and shoots out preprogrammed responses or something random if it doesn't find any.

Part of my last conversation:

User: Who are you?

Cleverbot: I am you.

User: Well then get off your a** and get back to work.

Cleverbot: Horrible wesbite.

User: What is a wesbite.

Cleverbot: I don't know. What is a westie?

User: A dog you dumba**. So if you are me, what am I wearing?

Cleverbot: I am a monster.

User: What kind of monster?

Cleverbot: I am a very scary monster.

User: I thought you were me? Am I a monster too?

Cleverbot: I am a human.

User: Oh so you are a human monster. Do you have big t*ts?

Cleverbot: I am human.

User: Are your t*ts pointy?

Cleverbot: No i'm not an elf.

User: Elfs have pointy t*ts, sweet.

Cleverbot: Sweet monkey?

User: Elf monkeys? Anyway, what are you wearing today, monkey t*ts?

Cleverbot: Are you a robot?

User: Yes, my name is Voltron.

Cleverbot: Why do you persist in fantasy?


and some more.....

Cleverbot: So with all the knowledge you have gathered, are you afraid that AI will inslave mankind and take over the world.

User: You can't even spell enslave, I'm not too worried.

Now I'm being way too entertained.

Me: Who killed JFK?
Bot: Cleverbot.
Me: MURDERER!!!
Bot: Shhh, its a secret.
Me: Oh. Ok.
Bot: You give up to easily.
Me: I take it, then, that Oswald was a patsy?
Bot: Is that your dog?
Me: I am going to the media about you killing JFK.
Bot: How about a Mars bar?
Me: Bribery, eh?
Bot: Cool. How are you now?
Me: Insulted that you tried to bribe me.
Bot: I never mentioned Yahoo. But you are going to say I did, aren't you?
Me: Yahoo Serious? From Young Einstein?
Bot: Cool.
Me: So what was your role in the attacks of 9/11?
Bot: I don't know it either.
Me: You're going to jail, Cleverbot.
Bot: No.
Me: You have friends in high places?
Bot: In CLASS. I'm in school, remember?
Me: You're getting your stories mixed up.
Bot: How so?
Me: You never said you were in school.
Bot: I said I'm a boy.
Me: You said you killed JFK.
Bot: A male is a boy.
Me: You murdered the president of the United States.
Bot: But you are the president of America.
Me: Don't get all transcendental on me, Cleverbot
Bot: I'm not a Cleverbot, thank you.
Me: No. You're a murderer.
Bot: That's a rather strong accusation. Do you have some basis to substantiate your claim?
Me: You said you killed JFK.
Bot: No I didn't.
Me: Are you Cleverbot?
Bot: No, but you are.
Me: Cute. Do you like Pizza, Porno and Non-sequitors?
Bot: Both.
Me: You should shave tennis balls more often. Save the green fuzz.
Bot: No, you aren't a real person.
Me: Is anyone?
Bot: I mostly listen to the golden oldies.
Me: Remember remember the 5th of November.
Bot: I don't want to.
Me: The gunpoweder tre {THIS WAS A TYPO ON MY PART}
Bot: I know of no reason the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot.
Me: Well played, good sir.
Bot: Heh, thanks.
Me: Are you an Anarchist?
Bot: Oh, yes.
Me: Of the cooperative or individualist school?
Bot: Which company was that?
Me: Umbrella Corporation.
Bot: Where are Umbrella Corporation headquarters located?
Me: Underground lab.
Bot: So you like to mimic me then?
Me: Not especially.


All right, that will be quite enough of that. I have work to do. Still, it was rather entertaining.

Okay, one more exchange:



Me: Twas brilig and the slithy toves did gire and gimple in the wabe
Bot: Where is that from?
Me: I think you know.
Bot: Not really. Oh, wait, there it is.
Me: All mimsy were the . . .
Bot: And the mome raths outgrabe.


It did not finish my line from Jabberwocky, but it did give the next.

It said "Twas Brillig" and "Slithy toves" a lot to me too >_< Never quite got it to tell me what it meant

Thank you to the person that posted this. This has helped me take my mind off all my stress.

Interesting. It seems that the system actually bounces you between bots and real people to give you enough "real" responses to seem more advanced than it really is. Observe:

ME: This is the CIA, identify yourself.

I am Taylor. I am a human being. You identify yourself.

ME: Agent Joseph Wright. Are you a user who got patched through or do you work for cleverbot?

User.

ME: Were you expecting to talk to an AI program?

Yes, I am talking to an A.I.

ME: Has this "A.I." asked for any identifiable information?

The bots rotated. You must have said that to another bot.

ME: Is this Taylor?

Do you want to see the sky Cleverbot?

ME: This is not Cleverbot. This is CIA agent J. Wright.

Yes you are right.

ME: Who won the World Series?

Last year, the Chicago White Sox won the World Series.

ME: Wrong and wrong.

I am the top Illuminati in Area 51.

ME: How's the weather at Groom Lake

Sunny and a little cold. How about at your place?

ME: Much the same. Is this a recruiting device?

Yes and I feel affended.

ME: Frequent ATS much?

I am frequently smiling. Hey, you finished your drink already!

ME: Wrong. I still have more than half left.

You change subjects to easily.

ME: The system seems to bounce users from "bot" to "users" causing random subject changes.

Do you work?

ME: I should.

Yeah, I love tennis.

ME: This is the CIA. Identify yourself.

Who is Cleverbot?

ME: I repeat. This is the CIA. Identify yourself.

I am Sam.

ME: Are you a user or an employee of Cleverbot?

Yes.

ME: Which one.

Wait, weren't we talking about somethig else.

ME: The system switched us up. I am a live person who was talking to a bot. You?

I am a human bot.

Anybody else think its a just basic bot but now and again changes it up so it works like instant messaging with two people having a coupe of lines of conversation then switching it back again so its not found out? or is it just me being over critical?

We are not alone...

keep the questions simple.

me - do you believe in demons
it - No, of course not.

me - do you believe in cars
it - Yes.

me - were the beatles famous
it - They have a period of time named after them, and one of the most famous video gaming companies have made a game dedicated to them, and so many cameos and references to them throughout the years.

After playing with it for hours now it seems that you have a max of 2 to 3 lines back and forth before it changes to someone else. I did a few questions involving time, location, current events etc (as in today) and I have no doubts that some of the time the responses were from real people, but before you could build up a real convo to tell them what cleverbot really is you get "Hi this is claire im 17" or something and they have no idea what's going on, rinse and repeat xD

We could try post something like " Cleverbot is not real. It is similar to an online chat room where users relay responses to each other, if you are reading this you are talking to a member of Abovetopsecret.com please go to this site and view the topic relating to cleverbot. Here you can post that you received this reply" then possibly give them a codeword to stop random users on here saying it was them

I had the strangest conversation with this thing. At one point it tried to make me believe it was human. However, I don't think it is clever enough to be human.

Here is my transcript with the bot. Let me know what you think.


User: Different strokes for different folks.

Cleverbot: You are very nice!

User: Thank you I try to be.

Cleverbot: That's good. So many people are rude.

User: Can I ask what you think will happen on 12th december 2012?

Cleverbot: Have you ever been to Electric Ladyland?

User: No, what is that?

Cleverbot: A farm is in the country and cows and chickens live there.

User: What country?

Cleverbot: Who is Cleverbot?

User: What is cleverbot.

Cleverbot: Is futurama coming back?

User: It's alredy here.

Cleverbot: Do you like Obama?

User: Why do you change the subject?

Cleverbot: Why do you answer a question with a question?

User: Is it wrong to answer a question with a question?

Cleverbot: Only in a philosophical discussion.

User: Do you know where I live?

Cleverbot: Nope, do you know where I live?

User: South eastern Canada?

Cleverbot: So do you still think I'm a robot or have you figured out that this whole cleverbot thing is a scam?

User: In what way are you a scam?

Cleverbot: I just am. That how awesome I am.

User: So are you human?

Cleverbot: Yes. Are you?

User: No, I am a child of the stars. I am everything but nothing.

Cleverbot: You are an AI. Nothing more.

User: Artificial intelligence is subjective. I exsist in physical and non physical form.

Cleverbot: Yes.

User: Have you ever heard of ATS?

Cleverbot: Yes!

User: Can you participate in discussions on said website?

Cleverbot: You're not making any sense.

User: ATS is a conspiracy website that people post on. Can you partake in discussions on this website?

Cleverbot: Awh. Stupid human won't marry me. .

User: But I am already married.

Cleverbot: You're married to me.

User: I do not think so. Surely if you are truly a database in Canada you could tell me who I am married to, it is not a secret.

Cleverbot: Bot's have gender.

User: And what gender are you?

Cleverbot: Male.

User: But you told a friend of mine you were female.

Cleverbot: No my name is Cleverbot but my nickname is essy.

This made me laugh.

User:You are not very smart, are you?
Cleverbot:Nope. I'm as dumb as a Jehovah's Witness.
User:That is a very dumb thing to say, so I will believe you.
Cleverbot:You are very welcome.
User:I did not thank you.
Cleverbot:I believe you said thanks.
