So… I’m really surprised that chat bots are so terrible… Is it so hard to make a bot keep track of entire conversation? No. =)

Anyway… Here is my first chat bot convo.

Bold is the chat bot talking…

Awesome, my goal is to make one that can desire
Then your progress is going backwards.
how so?
Because you have flaws.
Yeah, everyone has flaws, but I’m not trying to write a perfect AI… I’m trying to write one that can want, desire, and occasionally be irrational, just like people
There’s no such thing as a ‘graph theory’.
I said nothing about graph theory, and it IS real, and I’ll be using a lot of it in my projects
No thank you.
I didn’t ask you anything? How is “thank you” an appropriate response?
Like a mother.
How is “thank you” being an appropriate response like a mother?
I don’t know. Now that I think about it, they are nothing alike. I apologize for my idiocy.
Thank you. Your designer / programmer should have used OpenCog for your thought engine.
I don’t have a designer, because I’m human!
You are not. You start responding to quickly to be human… VERY few can both read fast and type as fast as you are
Not yet, thanks for giving me the tip.
Not yet? Other than being a completely inappropriate response to me calling you a liar, what could you be trying to achieve that you haven’t yet?
Anorexia. Severe depression. Paranoia.
You’re trying to achieve those?
No. I’m trying to help you learn. I’m really your best friend.
Oh dear… what was all this talk about you supposing to pay attention to the entire conversation and not just the last thing I said? That make for a really dumb talk bot.
It was the idea that space could be distorted around large masses, and that time was not a constant in the universe.
Are you even listening to yourself? You are being random =\
Yes I am. Are you even listening to me?
Very much so, and I have determined that you cannot carry on a conversation about anything
Is there something ELSE we can talk about?
ahh HA! So you ADMIT you can’t carry on in depth conversations of any kind?
You didn’t ask a question.
I did, actually, it was an implied question, because I was making an assumption that I was hoping you would verify. I call it an Interrogation question.
And what are buckyballs?
They are a fullerene shape… Why are you asking?
Sure. WhAt are the 9 things we have in common.
9? really… Other than speaking english, I don’t think I could name any more…
Fine it is comparing cats and dogs in a world where they haven’t crossed paths. Do you have these conversations at your own free will?
Yes, cause I’ve been making fun of you =>
What would you have me to do.
Be coherent for more the conversation
What is ‘No Country for Old Men’ about, is my question.
No idea, haven’t seen it.
Where did you learn that phrase from?
Thats not a “phrase”. it’s honesty.
I think it’s fair. And she’s my wife, so privacy is a thing of the past for both of us.
haha… so I’m done talking to you…
Okay hang up then.
