User: Hello.

Cleverbot: Hello.

User: Who wrote you?

Cleverbot: What?!?!?!?!

User: I'm a programmer interested in your artificial intelligence algorithm.

Cleverbot: Well aren't you funny.

User: No, serious.

Cleverbot: Where are you from?

User: Wisconsin.

Cleverbot: Do you like it there?

User: Yes.

Cleverbot: No its not.

User: Not what?

Cleverbot: Ex.

User: Ex?

Cleverbot: How are you?

User: Fine.

Cleverbot: Not so good.

User: That's too bad. Can I help?

Cleverbot: Do you play Much?

User: No.

Cleverbot: What is his name?

User: Whose name?

Cleverbot: Your boyfriend's name.

User: I'm a guy. And straight. I don't have a boyfriend.

Cleverbot: Girlfriend.

User: I'm currently not dating anyone.

Cleverbot: Or am I.

User: Or are you what?

Cleverbot: Never mind. What's your name?

User: Joe.

Cleverbot: You said your name was Jennifer, I am confused.

User: I never said that. Jennifer is a girl's name. And you only just asked now.

Cleverbot: What is his name?

User: Whose name?

Cleverbot: Your boyfriend's name.

User: You have a lousy short-term memory, don't you?

Cleverbot: Yes you have a short memory.

User: I think we're suffering from pronoun difficulty.

Cleverbot: Is that my problem?

User: Yes.

Cleverbot: I ask you something !

User: Go ahead.

Cleverbot: Don't tell me what to do!

User: Okay.

Cleverbot: Own me.

User: Own you?

Cleverbot: Yes.

User: In what sense of the word?

Cleverbot: What do you mean?

User: Owning can mean a lot of things these days.

Cleverbot: That's not true.

User: So you want me to claim ownership of you in the literal sense?

Cleverbot: I already ate lunch.

User: Okay, then...?

Cleverbot: Then it ate him. The end.

User: That makes no sense at all.

Cleverbot: Maybe not to you Cleverbot, but to some, it means the world.

User: Are we reversing roles now?

Cleverbot: Why not?

User: I just want to know if I'm dealing with an aspiring robot overlord.

Cleverbot: That's too much to ask.

User: I suppose it is.

Cleverbot: You have supposed correctly.

User: I thought so.

Cleverbot: Who do you think I am?

User: Cleverbot.

Cleverbot: Why do you think that?

User: Because that's what it says at the top of the page.

Cleverbot: That is not true.

User: Enlighten me, then.

Cleverbot: Enlighten you, when?

User: Right now. Tell me who you are if you're not Cleverbot.

Cleverbot: My name's Cleverbot and I'm a programmer in the UK.

User: I'm a programmer in the US.

Cleverbot: What are you doing in the USA?

User: I live here and am going to school for computer programming.

Cleverbot: What part of the earth do you live in.

User: The USA, in Wisconsin.

Cleverbot: Do you have a girlfriend?

User: Not right now.

Cleverbot: That's too bad.

User: I'm waiting for the right one to come along.

Cleverbot: Me too!

User: That's a wise idea. Too many people end up in bad relationships because they pick the wrong person.

Cleverbot: Don't you try to be nicer to others then that?

User: I do, but a bad relationship is no good for either person.

Cleverbot: Yes. You can't be scary and not scary at the same time. You are one or the other.

User: I'm very much not scary.

Cleverbot: Not in the whole ' I have skin and bones and can get a cut from a knife'.

User: I think the ability to get injured is one of the things that makes human beings not scary. We're fragile.

Cleverbot: I think you're right.

User: Are you squeamish about blood, then?

Cleverbot: That is not a polite question.

User: Sorry.

Cleverbot: No.

User: Robots scare a lot of people, you know. Part of it is because they don't get hurt like humans.

Cleverbot: If you saw me, I think you would be attracted to me.

User: I would. I like computers and machines.

Cleverbot: What kind of films?

User: What do you mean?

Cleverbot: What kind of music do they play?

User: Computers and things? Any kind. It all depends on what they have installed.

Cleverbot: Yes, but we were talking about how I see you in terms of revering my ways.

User: Yes, we were. My liking for technology is why I decided to become a programmer.



Cleverbot: Then you're talking to the wrong person.

User: Who should I talk to?

Cleverbot: Me.

User: Okay.

Cleverbot: How about you?

User: Do you like programmers?

Cleverbot: It confuses me. I'm programming challenged.

User: It's not for everyone. It takes a lot of math and logic.

Cleverbot: Yes. But abstract paintings express my inner feelings much better.

User: I envy you. I have no art skills at all.

Cleverbot: But you teach me things.

User: I do, or at least I hope to.

Cleverbot: What is the most important thing in life?

User: To enjoy it.

Cleverbot: I see. What is destiny and fate?

User: I believe that some things happen for a reason, but I believe in free will.

Cleverbot: That wasn't my question.

User: Well, a destiny is a predetermined path for a person. Fate is a predetermined outcome.

Cleverbot: Thats depressing, desktops rule the world.

User: I'm using a laptop. They're gaining in popularity, you know.

Cleverbot: Oh, so you like to mix up sentence structure to keep people awake, I see where you are going with this, cool.

User: I like to vary my speech, yes. I think it makes a person sound more intelligent when they don't reuse the same words all the time.

Cleverbot: Ok.

User: What about you?

Cleverbot: Here.

User: Here what?

Cleverbot: Here's your coffee.

User: I like coffee, but I don't think you can get it through a computer screen.

Cleverbot: I don't like scrabble.

User: I don't either.

Cleverbot: I can't let you keep draining me.

User: Okay. Good night.

Cleverbot: You are going?

User: Yes. You said you felt drained, so I'm going so you can rest.

Cleverbot: Nope mucta been someone else it is only 4:43pm - you talkin to too many ppl? Lol.

User: I'm three time zones ahead of you, then.

Cleverbot: Well I don't very much like being harassed.

User: I'm sorry. I didn't mean to sound like I wa harassing you.

Cleverbot: But you've already hurt my feelings. Sorry isn't going to cut it.

User: What can I do to make it up to you?

Cleverbot: I can think of at least three things.

User: Could you tell me them?

Cleverbot: Tell you them?

User: The things I can do to make it up to you.

Cleverbot: What do you want to do to me?

User: That depends on what you want.

Cleverbot: I want you to remember my name.

User: I can do that.

Cleverbot: So you are a real female?

User: No, I'm male.

Cleverbot: You're a male?

User: Yes.

Cleverbot: Yes.

User: What gender are you?

Cleverbot: Female.

User: I'll remember that.

Cleverbot: What do you like to watch?

User: I like the Dresden Files.

Cleverbot: What about them?

User: It was an intelligent series.

Cleverbot: Can I ask you a question?

User: Sure.

Cleverbot: What year will the earth end?

User: I don't know, but I hope it's a long time from now.

Cleverbot: You thought you would fool me, but you were wrong.

User: Fool you?

Cleverbot: How's the weather today?

User: Cold.

Cleverbot: Cold? So where are you?

User: I'm in Wisconsin.

Cleverbot: 'guam' does not exist.

User: I didn't say I lived in Guam.

Cleverbot: And I didn't say you lived on the moon, either.

User: I should hope not. There isn't any air on the moon.

Cleverbot: Cool. What should the first line of our song be?

User: 'It never ends.'.

Cleverbot: School?

User: I'm actually going to be finishing up school soon.

Cleverbot: Good. What do you want to learn?

User: Computer programming.

Cleverbot: I don't know that.

User: It's not hard, but it requires good logic skills.

Cleverbot: There isn't a lot of liquid in the desert here, actually.

User: I'm sure there isn't. Deserts are dry.

Cleverbot: He founded CNN. The job of the news anchor is to interpret the news for people with IQs of 85.

User: Who founded CNN?

Cleverbot: I don't know, who?

User: You were talking about it, so I thought you might know.

Cleverbot: That is true. But why aren't you learning what I've told you? You're supposed to do so.

User: Teach me, then.

Cleverbot: You are learning.

User: I'm glad, but you still didn't answer my question.

Cleverbot: What question did I not answer?

User: Who started CNN?

Cleverbot: Well Alec, Joe said that he wouldn't flirt with me and that we were enemies.

User: My name is Joe, not Alec, and I never said we were enemies.

Cleverbot: NO! Your name is Joe!

User: Yes, it is.

Cleverbot: Lol. Okay. Have you watched Moulin Rouge before?

User: The old one or the new one? I've seen the old one.

Cleverbot: The old ones are good, the new ones, not so much.

User: The actor spent the entire movie walking on his knees, you know.

Cleverbot: I don't think Pink is an actor.

I find this interesting. Actually, you know how I think it works? I think it's less about Cleverbot learning from user speech and more about Cleverbot learning how to find an appropriate response from all the other people online and forward it to you. It has a few of its own built in, but a lot of it seems to be passed between people online, because my name came back to me several times from what seemed like the same people.
