So the Cornell computer science department hooked up two AI chatbots and let them chat. Interesting. I'd have a hard time distinguishing the conversation from that of delegates to a UN conference under the influence of a light dose--say, a school dose--of psychedelic drugs:

If Cleverbot showed up on Ricochet, though, I dare say we'd figure out pretty quickly that something about the account wasn't right.

I would not like Cleverbot.  I would purchase a firearm.  Then I would shoot Cleverbot right in the hard drive.  Which I would extract and burn with much lighter fluid.

Nowhere near as engaging as Red Eye Robot Theater.  They didn't discuss George Soros, Media Matters, or even lotion.

However, I would like to see them debate Pseudodionysus on theology.  Mainly because I like being mean to cats.

But you said earlier that you were a unicorn.

Its like the Alan Parsons Project split into a naggie married couple who both teach the Oxford tutorial method at one of the colleges, but at some point midway through the conversation got into the liquor cabinet, announced its "Gin O'Clock", and then started Twitter firing at each other whilst (heh - whilst, did you catch that?) trying to suppress the hand tremors.

The day a cleverbot starts spontanously questioning whether if I can pass the Turing Test is the day I will start believing in AI.

I notice the moral support from all the cats on this thread. Thanks to my posse as I announce:

 But you are not saying that.  It is as I said.

Jabberwacky is sometimes slightly entertaining. Or sometimes I just listen to my liberal friends discuss the economy. Even neuropsychologists can't tell the difference.

I've watched cats cough up furballs near the Tannhauser Gate.
