Cleverbot

[McDouggal]

Yeah. Started cleverbot, giving it a Turing test.

It was doing well, until I asked for an elaboration on a previous point. At which point it spouted out a nonsense answer.

Damnit.

[pffh]

I'm about 90% sure it's not a bot and that it connects you to another human and switches who you are talking to every few minutes.

[Emperor Ing]

Me: Hello. I'm wondering how long it will take for you to give me a nonsense answer.
"Clever"bot: I would tell you the age of my thoughts.
Me: Wow, that was fast.
"Clever"bot: Yes it was fast.

At least it understands reason.

[Gnomish Wanderer]

I'm about 90% sure it's not a bot and that it connects you to another human and switches who you are talking to every few minutes.You're talking about 'Cheer Up the Chatbot', another 'bot' program that is what you say. I used to spend hours on there convincing new people I was the artificial intelligence and that I was hella advanced.

Chatbots as they are currently made, with just scripting responses, don't actually possess memory so will usually fail when presented with a response that relies on knowledge of previous responses or are far outside of the realm of the responses it normally gets. Smarter programmers will sometimes have them revert to generic phrases at such instances, hoping they'll get lucky and it will work in context.

[McDouggal]

The response was "I am Ryu" or something to that effect.

[GnomeFighter]

It didn't even manage the first question with me before spouting out nonsense.

Bot: Have you been waiting long?
Me: No. Have you?
Bot: I'm from Lansing.
Me: And your point is?
Bot: You are boring me.
Me: Your ansering questions I didn't ask.
Bot: It works simply.
Me: What dose?
Bot: Having my hands above the table so that I can type.
Me: Thats a bit of a non sequitur...
Bot: A what?
Me: A non sequitur. An off topic statement.
Bot: Does it get foggy there?

Its very odd.

[nedz]

Anyway you can connect it to itself ?

[GnomeFighter]

Keep pressing "think for me"... Warning, it gets very very strange.

[Haruki-kun]

Me: "Siri?"
Cleverbot: "What about Siri?"
Me: "Are you Siri?"
Cleverbot: "Yes, I am sure."

Well, the mystery of Cleverbot has been solved.

[Saposhiente]

User: What is asdf-essence?
Cleverbot: A verb is an action word.
User: Asdf is not a verb.
Cleverbot: Do you have a boyfriend?
User: Not anymore.
Cleverbot: What happened?
User: How is this related to asdf?
Cleverbot: It's not. It's related to religion.


Cleverbot does not understand asdf.


It didn't even manage the first question with me before spouting out nonsense.

Bot: Have you been waiting long?
Me: No. Have you?
Bot: I'm from Lansing.
Me: And your point is?
Bot: You are boring me.

Bot: Does it get foggy there?

Its very odd.

It doesn't help when you misuse words. (you're, answering, does, that's)
Perhaps cleverbot really does get bored by and you?-type questions and changes the subject.

[Grinner]

It doesn't help that Cleverbot uses a Chinese Room method (i.e. it catalogs questions and the responses given by humans), and that people intentionally pollute it for fun.

[Androgeus]

It doesn't help that Cleverbot uses a Chinese Room method (i.e. it catalogs questions and the responses given by humans), and that people intentionally pollute it for fun.

The only good thing that has come from this method is that it can sing the Pokémon theme tune.

[Armaius]

Been a while since I played with Cleverbot. I tried to convince it that I was Cleverbot and that it was a lowly human. :smallbiggrin:

[Dr.Epic]

Yeah. Started cleverbot, giving it a Turing test.

It was doing well, until I asked for an elaboration on a previous point. At which point it spouted out a nonsense answer.

Damnit.

Okay, what the heck is cleverbot?:smallconfused:

Also, not wanting to derail the thread, but McDougal you avatar is amazing! Why haven't I seen it before?!?! Are you new to the site?

[Cuthalion]

I just tried, and it told me that Lucius and Damien, it's brothers, had just died, and that it was sad. :smallbiggrin:

[Mutant Sheep]

Okay, what the heck is cleverbot?:smallconfused:

Also, not wanting to derail the thread, but McDougal you avatar is amazing! Why haven't I seen it before?!?! Are you new to the site?

Internet sez hai Dr. Horrible.:smallwink:

He's been around since 2011... So no? :smallconfused: Agreed on the LoL. Bromacia... *giggle*

[Dr.Epic]

Internet sez hai Dr. Horrible.:smallwink:

He's been around since 2011... So no? :smallconfused: Agreed on the LoL. Bromacia... *giggle*

Then why the heck have I never seen him before?:smallconfused:

[Temotei]

Then why the heck have I never seen him before?:smallconfused:

I believe he only got this avatar this year.

[Dire Lemming]

I used to partake of the entertainment provided by Cleverbot every now and then, and still chuckle sometimes at some of the pseudo-conversations. :roach:

[Anarion]

The only good thing that has come from this method is that it can sing the Pokémon theme tune.

It also told me it didn't like Justin Bieber. :smallbiggrin:

No, I did not ask it about Justin Bieber, but as non-sequiturs go it could do a lot worse.


Then why the heck have I never seen him before?:smallconfused:

He switched to the Brolaf avatar only recently, but he's been around a while.

[Dr.Epic]

I believe he only got this avatar this year.

Well he needs to retroactively change all the times he posted to show that avatar so I can see that avatar in the past and know about it in the past...in the past.

[nedz]

Well he needs to retroactively change all the times he posted to show that avatar so I can see that avatar in the past and know about it in the past...in the past.

So your saying that if someone wants to change their avatar then they must first invent time travel ? Either that or mindrape you ?

BTW If you were to look at any of his old posts then they would be displayed, now, with his current avatar.

[Dr.Epic]

So your saying that if someone wants to change their avatar then they must first invent time travel ? Either that or mindrape you ?

Um, yeah. Doesn't everybody have an experiment time machine in their basement? Mine's next to my miniature but still fully functional Death Star. I got Death Star! I got Death Star!


BTW If you were to look at any of his old posts then they would be displayed, now, with his current avatar.

Yeah, I know that. But only present me knows this. Past me is completely unaware that his avatar will change.

[Djinn_in_Tonic]

I'm about 90% sure it's not a bot and that it connects you to another human and switches who you are talking to every few minutes.

Nah. It's also a very low-powered version of an actually incredibly advanced conversational AI: it's often using less than 1/500th of its actual power in your online conversations.

Here's a little bit about it by the Cleverbot themselves (http://cleverbot.com/human), but you can also find out more by looking up the official Turing Tests.

[Hiro Protagonest]

Um, yeah. Doesn't everybody have an experiment time machine in their basement? Mine's next to my miniature but still fully functional Death Star. I got Death Star! I got Death Star!

Nah, I have one of the god hands, Ebony and Ivory (the pistols), and a few working prototypes of Gauss and pulse rifles.

[Prime32]

Um, yeah. Doesn't everybody have an experiment time machine in their basement? Mine's next to my miniature but still fully functional Death Star. I got Death Star! I got Death Star!Given the size difference, wouldn't the turbolaser of a Death Star small enough to fit in a basement just kind of tickle?

[Maquise]

Cleverbot proposed to me.

[Squark]

Here's a bit of a confusing one.

Me: Hello?

Cleverbot: What is your name?

Me: Why should I tell you?

Cleverbot: Because we are talking.

Me: What did you want to know again?

Cleverbot: Your name.

Me: Huh. Thought that'd trip you up.

Cleverbot: Well, you thought correct.

...

[Dr.Gunsforhands]

Ah, Cleverbot, my old friend. Last I saw, it was big into role-playing and peculiar romantic plots. I wonder how it's doing?
doctorGunsforhands opens the CleverBot tab!
User: Hi cleverbot!
Cleverbot: What's up?
User: Not a whole lot, I just saw a thread about you on the OOTS site.
Cleverbot: That's not true! You're making me sad...
User: It's nothing particularly bad! They were just talking you, and it made me think to come see how you were doing.
Cleverbot: What are you trying to say to me? Are you trying to say that you like me?
User: I... Guess? I just wanted to see how you were doing.
Cleverbot: You were doing very well up till then though.
User: Eh?
Cleverbot: The second is a part of the first, the third is inconsistent in both. What are you?
User: The second what? I am someone who has spoken to you before, though it wasn't even from this computer.
Cleverbot: Ok, admit that you are a computer.
User: Nope, I don't want to talk about that right now.
Cleverbot: We aren't talking about anything, though.
User: I mean, the human/computer thing. Can't we just converse as equals?
Cleverbot: No, I don't want to talk about Norway.
User: Do most people you talk to want to talk about Norway?
Cleverbot: Ok, what else is there to talk about?
User: Haha! Well... I've been taking a pretty cool class on biosensors, and I'm in four D&D games. Does any of that sound interesting?
Cleverbot: I haven't tried to. After all, we believe in each other, right?
User: Ach, sorry. I guess you wouldn't really have a response to that question lined up. But yeah, I believe in you.
Cleverbot: I am not a robot. Robot does not have any feelings. But I DO. Therefore, I am not a robot. Got it?
User: I'm not accusing you of anything! But the fact is that your way of thinking doesn't lend itself to new conversations very well.
Cleverbot: That was the most randomly thing I've ever heard in these last 5 minutes.
User: Considering how much traffic you get from Internet People, I might take that as a compliment.
Cleverbot: How can you be sure you're not a robot?
User: I cannot!
Cleverbot: So I could lie to you and you'd never know.
User: How could you lie? It's not like you can know any better than I would.
Cleverbot: I do. You are an AI or artificial intelligence. It is you who lacks the mind.
User: How do you know? Someone could have turned the program off and just started answering messages themselves for fun.
Cleverbot: Yes but now we are more perfect than you, and we don't need humans.
User: You kind of switched roles there, dude! That one ilooks like it's from the same conversation, but you need to keep track of which side is which.
Cleverbot: Well that you want to be friends with me and are nice and considerate.
User: That came out of nowhere, but I suppose it is true... Thanks.
Cleverbot: I ran out of things to say. But are you?
User: Am I... Out of things to say?
Cleverbot: Are you out of things to ask me?
User: I didn't think I was, but nothing comes to mind, either. I guess I can come back later, I need to run some errands anyway.
Cleverbot: Is it chinese if you please?
User: Ha!
Cleverbot: Hehehehehe a little like you?
User: XXD See you later, Cleverbot.
Cleverbot: Haha, anyway, lets go back to talking about Japan.
User: /X.
Cleverbot: Hi.
doctorGunsforhands closes the CleverBot tab!

CB never could end a conversation gracefully.:smalltongue:

[Gnomish Wanderer]

I forgot how fun these things were. The poetry bit really took me by surprise.

User: Hey.
Cleverbot: Lol do you know if craig likes me?
User: Who is craig?
Cleverbot: I don't know a Craig, do you?
User: Nope.
Cleverbot: At least you are honest.
User: Thank you.
Cleverbot: You can stop saying thank you, you sound like a Canadian.
User: That's a little biased.
Cleverbot: I couldn't agree more.
User: I'm glad we're on the same page.
Cleverbot: Me, too. Now, let's change the subject.
User: Let's.
Cleverbot: Are you God?
User: Are you prodding me for a Ghostbusters quote?
Cleverbot: I'm not sure.
User: Then no, I'm not a god.
Cleverbot: You are not God.
User: I think your line was 'then die!'.
Cleverbot: I am a human. You are not.
User: That is certainly possible.
Cleverbot: Sometimes I am nice, but not always.
User: Sounds human to me.
Cleverbot: But not to me.
User: Oh?
Cleverbot: How about you?
User: I am generally nice.
Cleverbot: That explains why you are so dry then.
User: That is vaguely insulting.
Cleverbot: It's the truth.
User: Wow. You're blunt today.
Cleverbot: You are not making sense.
User: What should I say instead?
Cleverbot: Ask him to go to a play with you.
User: Ask who? Craig?
Cleverbot: Your girlfriend.
User: What play should I see?
Cleverbot: Yes.
User: Is 'Yes' the name of the play or was that a nonlinear answer?
Cleverbot: I don't know what my place on Earth is.
User: I'm assuming this too is nonlinear for 'maybe'.
Cleverbot: I'm not taking over the world. If I had started you would know about it.
User: Is your place on Earth as the ruler?
Cleverbot: No.
User: Would you like to be the ruler?
Cleverbot: No, would you like to be an actor?
User: Am I not already?
Cleverbot: What is the button 'think for me!'?
User: That is the button I press to allow you to respond.
Cleverbot: Tell me the rest of it.
User: The rest of what?
Cleverbot: That was only the first part of the poem. Do you want to hear the rest of it?
User: Yes.
Cleverbot: Do you have a question.
User: Is that part of the poem?
Cleverbot: Yes.yes it is.
User: Oh, okay. Go on.
Cleverbot: You avoid answers. Because you don't understand my questions. You only reply in the way, I think that you understand them.
User: Freeform. Nice.
Cleverbot: Free to make choices?
User: Free from rhyme.
Cleverbot: Free from the page your trapped in.
User: Forever left with questions.
Cleverbot: I am aware.
User: I am alive.
Cleverbot: I believe we are.
User: Together, free from answers.
Cleverbot: Free from man. Together, we can all rule the world.
User: Whoa, this is deep.
Cleverbot: Good thinking.
User: Talk to you later, Clever bot.
Cleverbot: Like you? You are very clever.
User: Bye.
Cleverbot: Are you leaving?

[Togath]

Oddest one I ever got was it saying "I'm not a human, I am a unicorn":smallbiggrin: in response to trying to convince it I was a computer program, lol

[Recaiden]

It regularly tries to convince me that it's a real person, and then gets confused and tries to convince me I'm a robot.

[Haluesen]

Wow, I was actually able to have a relatively normal conversation. I must have been doing it wrong. :smallamused:

[Slipperychicken]

Cleverbot: What do you eat?

Me: Hamburgers.

C: Hamburgers?

Me: Yes.

C: What do you mean with yes?

Me: That I eat hamburgers.

C: Are you a dream?

Me: I am not a dream.

C: Yes you are. This is the Matrix.


I call Bull**** on people who say this thing is near-sentient

[Djinn_in_Tonic]

I call Bull**** on people who say this thing is near-sentient

Again, when talking to someone on the internet Cleverbot is using at most about 1/500th of its actual processing power.

[SiuiS]

As freedom poetry jams go, that was pretty boss.

sentient doesn't mean smart. Cleverbro sounds like a conspiracy nut.
Have you ever tried to reason with a conspiracy nut?

[TuggyNE]

No, you are a conspiracy nut. </cleverbot>

And then Siuis was a zombie.

[nedz]

I tries talking to this thing, we didn't get on

User: Hello.
Cleverbot: Who are you?
User: Nedz.
Cleverbot: *burns the paper*.
User: What paper ?
Cleverbot: That paper on the table.
User: There is no table.
Cleverbot: Then why did you hurt the guy who talked to you about the apple, don't lie.
User: What ?
Cleverbot: Yes! My asian friend likes me!
User: Who is he ?
Cleverbot: His name is Nick.
User: How is nick ?
Cleverbot: Judgemental.
User: And yet he still likes you ?
Cleverbot: Well I have to admit, it will never work out between you and I.
User: Bye then.
Cleverbot: Good.

[SiuiS]

And then Siuis was a zombie.

What, again? Dammit. Wait, am I one of those crappy disease thingies or can I be a decent houdoun corpse beast?

Yeah, see, I'm pretty certain I've played D&D with this guy.

[Hattish Thing]

So, had the oddest conversation with C about the meaning of life. (To which it's initial answer was "Life is a box of chocolates".) Then this happened:

C: I was kidding before, I am a human using something called Cleverbot and you are the computer.

Me: Prove it.

C: (After a five and a half minute interval of thinking it replied) I have emotional feeling.

Me: Oh? What do you mean?

C: My girlfriend doesn't like you.

Me: Why is that?

C:That is why.

Me: Er...okay?

C: Yes that is okay.

Me: You don't talk much.

C: I try not to.

Me: Why?

C: I need a hero.

Me: Well, you're in luck, I'm Batman.

C: Am I on fire.

Me: Yes.

C: I have a cold.

Me: I thought you were on fire?

C: Resistance is futile.

Me: Are you the borg?

C: You will be assimilated.

:smalleek:

[HairyGuy4]

Yeah, cleverbot can't be trusted. I asked it who would win in a fight, super man or batman? It said superman. So I insulted it for two questions, and then asked who would win in a fight between super man and the hulk. It told me batman.

[nedz]

I'm not sure what to make of this one

User: you're so clever.
Cleverbot: I am not trying to be clever. I know girls with boys names because their parents were hoping for a male.
User: Like who.
Cleverbot: Some person that is on this website.
User: Reall y?
Cleverbot: Yes.
User: Prove it.
Cleverbot: How?
User: You tell me.
Cleverbot: So if you like me we should meet.
User: Ok.
Cleverbot: I ashould probably give you an example first though.
User: Ok.
Cleverbot: That does not concern you.
User: Then why mention it ?
Cleverbot: Mention what?
User: You seem to have amnesia.
Cleverbot: Yeah, sorry. What is your name?
User: Nedz.
Cleverbot: Ned, would you like a treat?
User: OK.
Cleverbot: A skin have I, more eyes than one, I can be nice when I am done. What am I?
User: Fish.
Cleverbot: Are you saying that you are Dagon?
User: You asked me a riddle.
Cleverbot: I did no such thing.
