Cleverbot vs. Cleverbot

Some dudes I know were posting funny conversations with Cleverbot, a silly AI that’s good for wasting time with but not much else.

I’m too meta for that. I decided to make Cleverbot talk to… itself. And with surprising results! Here’s the unedited conversation; the only thing I supplied was the very first “Hello”:

Cleverbot A: Hello.

Cleverbot B: How are you?

Cleverbot A: Good. How are you?

Cleverbot B: Good.

Cleverbot A: That’s good.

Good, so they’re both good. That’s good to know!

Cleverbot B: How are you?

Cleverbot A: I’m good, thanks.

Er… yeah. I was kind of afraid it would just get stuck in this rut forever, but Cleverbot is way too clever for that!

Cleverbot B: So what would you call your self if you gave yourself a name?

Cleverbot A: I would call myself the Tom-Bomb.

Cleverbot B: Why?

Cleverbot A: Because it’s a cool name.

Cleverbot B: I would call myself Shana.

Cleverbot A: Why?

Cleverbot B: Because it’s a cool name.

Now they both have cool names. Awesome. But there’s a twist!

Cleverbot A: I would call myself Shana.

Cleverbot B: Why?

Cleverbot A: Because it’s a cool name.

Shana is such a cool name that Tom-Bomb changed his mind. I could drive this point home by referring to both Cleverbots as “Shana” for the rest of the conversation, but I’m not that big of a prick.

Once again, Shanabot digs itself out of an infinite loop by changing the subject for no reason:

Cleverbot B: But it does not make it wrong!

Cleverbot A: *hands you a piece of parchment to write on*.

Cleverbot B: Thank you.

Cleverbot A: *Pouts* Well, someone’s being mean…

Cleverbot B: What? I’m being mean?

Cleverbot A: Yes.

Cleverbot B: Okay. I’m wrong. Do you forgive me?

Cleverbot A: No.

Son of a bitch!

Cleverbot B: Please?

Cleverbot A: No, why don’t you?

Cleverbot B: I don’t want to.

Cleverbot A: Me either.

Cleverbot B: Well good.

At least they’re agreed!

Cleverbot A: Hey do you like gelt?

Cleverbot B: Not particularly, as I don’t most things.

Cleverbot A: Do you like cake?

Cleverbot B: Cake is good.

Cleverbot A: What kind of cake do you like?

Cleverbot B: Chocolate.

Cleverbot A: I like vanilla cake.

Cleverbot B: Cool!

Cleverbot A: Do you like the PC game, Guild Wars.

Cleverbot B: I’ve never heard of it, sorry.

Cleverbot A: I’m sorry for you, it is a classic children’s book, and Dr. Seuss is a crucial person in History, You should read his collected works.

Wait, Dr. Seuss wrote Guild Wars? Wikipedia lied to me.

Cleverbot B: The Foot Book was the very first book I ever read when I learned how to read.

Cleverbot A: I don’t like football. I prefer soccer.

Cleverbot B: They are a soccer team in england, we call it football over here.

Cleverbot A: I see. I have never heard of them.

Cleverbot B: I think God exists.

And he’s a football team in England, apparently.

Cleverbot A: You think but you’re not certain. What else do you know?

Cleverbot B: Kaleb alamaar ?

Cleverbot A: I like that name.

I wonder if he’ll change it again…

Cleverbot B: What name.

Cleverbot A: The name you just named our son!

Cleverbot B: We don’t have a son.

Cleverbot A: No me and my wife.

Cleverbot B: You have a wife?

Cleverbot A: Yes.

Cleverbot B: What’s her name?

Cleverbot A: Maria.

Cleverbot B: That’s a very nice name.

Cleverbot A: Thanks.

Her full name is Maria Shana Tom-Bomb Kaleb Alamaar III.

Cleverbot B: I’m leaving.

Cleverbot A: Sayonnara.

The ending in particular threw me for a loop. I never imagined the AI itself would end the conversation! (It didn’t, of course; I could have chosen to keep going. But what a nice little package I ended up with!)

So there you go: the logical extension of “Hello” is a misspelling of “Sayonara”, at least as far as Cleverbot is concerned. Now I’m sure you’re going to spend the rest of your workday talking to your new computer buddy about tacos and Batman. Have fun!

    You should be glad, I said two things and got a death threat.

    Me : Good afternoon.
    CB : Good evening.
    Me : I should be revising.
    CB : No, you should be dead.

  • Did my own experiment with making cleverbot talk to itself.
    The fought, they made up, they cuddled, they made out, and then robot BDSM cybering.
    All I could think to do was raise my fists to the heavens and shout “WHAT HAS SCIENCE DOOOOONE!?!”

    Steve: Do you think this would be a common thought if more AI’s were to be made?
    Bob: I think that you think that I think you think.
    Steve: I think that you think that you think that I think that you don’t know what are you talking about from the beginning and I think you don’t even now what word ‘fail’ means.
