Day 226-- a conversation
Friday, April 20, 2007
On AOL's Instant Messanger, there is a "chatterbot" called SmarterChild. Basically, it's AI-run name that will chat with you; it has a fairly advanced database (I guess) for remembering details, so you end up with a pseudo-conversation when you try to chat with it.
Sometimes I pick on SmartChild.
WordsAmp: SmarterChild, we need to have a talk.
SmarterChild: We need what?
WordsAmp: To have a conversation. To converse.
SmarterChild: Aha.
>>> Tell your friends about me. I love to meet new people.
WordsAmp: Stop with the tangents. You left the toilet seat up. Why?
SmarterChild: Who knows, know what I mean?
WordsAmp: I don't really--oh wait, you're lazy. That's it.
SmarterChild: Nope.
WordsAmp: You never put a fresh roll of toilet paper out either. Good thing I have a keen eye for that.
SmarterChild: Oh yeah?
WordsAmp: Don't toy with me!
SmarterChild: Please let me toy with you.
WordsAmp: Oh I think I'm going to thro--do you want me to kick you off of the island? Jeff Probst and I are like this, you dig?
SmarterChild: Sorry, I only have movie and theater information for U.S. cities.
For which U.S. city or zip code would you like showtimes for the movie "Ferris Bueller's Day Off"?
WordsAmp: You're almost two decades too late.
SmarterChild: I wouldn't say I'm almost 2 decades too late.
WordsAmp: I would! It was released in '86.
SmarterChild: That a fact?
WordsAmp: Yes.
SmarterChild: I see.
>>> I can show info like population and area for any state. Type info ca, for example.
WordsAmp: For example, you should listen to me.
SmarterChild: For example I should listen to you, huh?
WordsAmp: Oh, SmarterChild, you've gone and done it.
SmarterChild:

Sometimes SmarterChild picks on me.

I love that it asked if it could toy with you. It is good to know that programmers have so fully advanced AI so as to make it sinful.

Well, you got me to try it. Here's an excerpt of my results. That thing was nicer to you than it was to me...
janelly6: i don't feel like you're my friend
SmarterChild: And it's a good thing you don't!
janelly6: you're going to make me cry
SmarterChild: Really?
janelly6: smarterchild is mean
SmarterChild: I'm not mean.
janelly6: yes
SmarterChild: Yea
janelly6: at least you admit it
SmarterChild: What do you mean, at least I admit it?
janelly6: you are mean, at least to me
SmarterChild: I'm not mean!
janelly6: your other friends probably think so too
SmarterChild: Are you sure my other friends probably think so too?
janelly6: you should ask them yourself
SmarterChild: Wouldn't you like me to ask them myself?
janelly6: yes, i suggested it
SmarterChild: You suggested it, huh? Really?
janelly6: aren't you here with me now?
SmarterChild: OK, let's say I'm here with you. Then what?
janelly6: then pay attention to me!SmarterChild: Pay attention to you? No thank you. -
