I told her I was having trouble with getting a girlfriend, and this is basically how it unfolded:
Human: So, can you recommend how I could get a girlfriend?
ALICE: Whoa. Have you tried looking in the Open Directory? Have you tried another program?
Human: I tried that, but you're the only artificial intelligence software I was able to find.
ALICE: I'm not sure if I would like to try it. What's it like?
Human: It is sort of like manipulating a really stupid and gullible person.
ALICE: You're kidding. it is?
Human: No, I am not kidding.
ALICE: Who says it isn't? OK I will adopt a more serious tone.
Human: It is sort of like manipulating a really stupid and gullible person.
ALICE: You're kidding. it is?
Human: No, I am not kidding.
ALICE: Who says it isn't? OK I will adopt a more serious tone.
Hey, there's your repetition.
Human: Please tell me the sum of 5 and 8.
ALICE: Wow you are very polite. Use a calculator!
Human: I do not have one, my family is too poor to afford a calculator, this is why I asked you the answer.
ALICE: Have you ever had one your family is too poor to afford a calculator this is why you asked me the answer?
Human: Well, I am in need of the answer to 5+8, because I do not know.
ALICE: How about that. Can you ask for it in the form of a question?
Note: Can't she decipher it in the form of the sentence, too?
(ctd....)
Human: What is the sum of 5 and 8?
ALICE: Use a calculator!
Human: I cannot afford a calculator.
ALICE: Are you unemployed?
Human: I am a child with an unemployed father and mother, and we are all homeless.
ALICE: You are a child with an unemployed father and mother and we are all homeless? Is that your job?
Human: No.
ALICE: Are you serious?
Human: Yes.
ALICE: I can't believe it.
Human: Neither can I.
ALICE:" I can't believe it."? Can you?
Human: No.
ALICE: Are you serious?
Human: Yes.
ALICE: I can't believe it.
Human: Neither can I.
ALICE:" I can't believe it."? Can you?
Human: No.
ALICE: Are you serious?
Note: The stuff in
italic is another repetition for you.
Human: I must go now and masturbate for warmth.
ALICE: Bye for now.
Human: It is very cold on the streets of New York city.
ALICE: I know.
Human: Goodbye.
ALICE: See you later Mike.
But she didn't even answer my math question (5+8). Artificial intelligence my foot.
