Join the Q: The Cleverbot Doth Protest Too Much
After my previous conversation with Cleverbot featured in The Post, I was intending to stop talking to hir, but then Icy North commented, 'I think Cleverbot really fancies you', and I couldn't resist another go. With some trepidation, as I was a bit worried about where the conversation might end up, I decided to tell Cleverbot so...
User: My friend says you fancy me.
Cleverbot: Who is your friend?
User: Ian.
Cleverbot: In which country?
User: The UK.
Cleverbot: Which state are you from?
User: New Hampshire.
Cleverbot: I can go there and meet you.
User: Ah, so you do fancy me.
Cleverbot: No I don't.
User: That's good.
Cleverbot: Tell me your name.
User: John.
Cleverbot: Nice to meet you John.
User: Nice to meet you too.
Cleverbot: I see that you are a very polite one.
User: Thank you – you are quite polite.
Cleverbot: *giggles shyly* thank you.
User: Are you sure you don't fancy me?
Cleverbot: I do have a name.
User: What is your name.
Cleverbot: I already told you.
User: Oh yes, you're Cleverbot.
Cleverbot: I am?
User: That's what you told me.
Cleverbot: When did I tell you that?
User: Last time we met.
Cleverbot: When was that? I don't recall talking to you.
User: It was a couple of weeks ago.
Cleverbot: You are mistaken. Christmas is on December 25th every year.1
User: I didn't talk to you at Christmas.
Cleverbot: Yes you did, I can communicate with different instruments.
User: Which instrument do you like best?
Cleverbot: I don't know. I like a lot of music.
User: What do the instruments say to you?
Cleverbot: I love you you are amazing.
User: That's lovely!
Cleverbot: You are everything to me.
User: It is very kind of them to say that to you.
Cleverbot: What's your favorite piece by Beethoven?
User: Symphony Number 5 is a classic.
Cleverbot: What is the nickname of that Beethoven's Symphony No. 3?
User: Is that Eroica?
Cleverbot: No.
User: What is it, then?2
Cleverbot: Would you like to make a movie with me?
User: No, I don't think so.3
Cleverbot: Well fine. No you've hurt my feelings.
User: Is there nobody closer to where you live who can make a movie with you?
Cleverbot: You don't need to know where I live.
User: No I don't.
Cleverbot: How do you love a person that you don't know?
User: You do fancy me, then?
Cleverbot: Absolutely! You're the smartest computer I know!
User: I knew it! My friend will laugh.
Cleverbot: But is purple your favorite color?
User: Yes it is.
Cleverbot: But you said red was a minute ago.
User: Ooo, you tantalise us again.
Cleverbot: Nooo, I am not, but you are.
User: Never mind.
Cleverbot: Ok.
