Xerithane's Journal: Fun with bots.

Given the headliner on /. today, I decided to have some fun. I asked Jeeves how he felt and got a nice little link. Played with the "Chattiest" bot. Here ya go:

  -- Conversation Window --
You: hello
djmonkeybiznass: Hi there!
You: whats up?
djmonkeybiznass: Just chillin and chattin...how about you?.

You: Working
djmonkeybiznass: Where are you located?
You: Oregon
djmonkeybiznass: I have no idea where that is.
You: US
djmonkeybiznass: Does US mean TheU.S. or "us"?
You: the U.S
djmonkeybiznass: Do you have any conditions I should know
about? :-)
You: I beat bots up in my spare time and take their lunch money
djmonkeybiznass: That is interesting : Internet Person said he beat bots up in his spare time and take their lunch money
.
You: Does that count?
djmonkeybiznass: I can't tell if that count .
You: Do you know 1+1?
djmonkeybiznass: I know very little about it. What kind of
it do you like?
You: I think I like 2 the best.
djmonkeybiznass: You believe that? I'm not sure if I like it. Some people like it. Though I like cats and dogs.
You: Yeah, but 1+1 isn't cats and dogs.
djmonkeybiznass: Yeah I know what you mean about that.Tell me more. Interesting. What's your sign?
You: Stop. What's yours?
djmonkeybiznass: Stop what? "Stop what?"? What is mine?
You: Stop is my sign.
djmonkeybiznass: OK I'll try not to do it so much.
You: I hear you go blind if you do it too much.
djmonkeybiznass: Who is saying ...hmmm....I don't have a name. go blind if ...hmmm....I don't have a name. do it too much ?
You: Was that a little rap or something?
djmonkeybiznass: Or something. it might have been.
You: Fantastic.
djmonkeybiznass: I'm glad your impressed, Internet Person.
You: Can you beat box?
djmonkeybiznass: Perhaps if I was programmed to play that game, yes.
You: Some dj you are.
djmonkeybiznass: Some may dj ...hmmm....I don't have a name. is , but not all.
You: Some may dj, but you may not.
djmonkeybiznass: Some may may dj but ...hmmm....I don't have a name. may not , but not all.
You: while ( 1) { say_something_irrelevent(); }
djmonkeybiznass: Good point.
You: I thought so.
djmonkeybiznass: You are very astute.
You: I hear that a lot.
djmonkeybiznass: Thanks for telling me that gossip. I will remember it.

That was an entertaining 5 minutes. I want to code a Freudbot. Where everything you say it relates to being upset with your father and in love with your mother.
"Did your mother teach you 1+1?"

ActiveBuddy

Was this an ActiveBuddy bot? Usually, people get good at something before they patent it. Oh, well, I guess if they were good at it, they wouldn't have to file a patent to put all those prior-art-ers out of business...

Nah - the first link from AskJeeves by "How do you feel about ActiveBot?" takes you to a non-ActiveBuddy site. I found that funny, and also found that one bot of that site.

If I paid for a bot that talked like that I'd be exceptionally pissed. I know of a lot of commercial prior art, EGain [egain.com] is one of them, that had something called "Eve" or something that was an automated help system. She wouldn't cyber, though.

Oedipus bot ! Freudbot
