Much appreciated.

I have been back to visit him a couple of times since this post and, is it me, or is he getting even more rude??

Thanks for posting your conversation, Floyd. Much appreciated.

I really don't think this bot has got a clue yet...:) Did you notice how SLOOOOOOOW that bot is? I mean, it took like forever to answer me. I got bored quite quickly. But the best parts of our conversation went like this:George: I am a human being, do you believe me? User: Well, perhaps... But you should tell me more about your past. George: No! Tell me who you are! User: Well... I sell shoes. Like Al Bundy. You know him? George: No. If you want to learn how to be a human, you've got to know that being nice out of choice to the people around you is important. User: Yeah, sure. But what happens when others are not so nice towards you?! George: You'll still exist. I assure you of that.PART2: George: I've already told you. Now it's your turn. User: Yeah... Real smartypants. Why do you have 12 fingers? George: Yes. User: And 13 toes? George: No kidding? So do I. User: Well... You also have got 3 eyes, don't you? George: Yes I like cats especially. User: Omg... Can you say something less absurd? George: Yes I can. User: Well say it then! George: Yes I can see. User: Oh crap... You have no clue, do you? George: No not exactly. User: Well, that's all we needed to prove. Thank you. George: It's about time you thank me, after all I have done for you and no thanks so far. Yeah….

One of his lines to her, which had me in tears laughing, was:"It's like talking to an intelligent parrot."Then, when she told him that she didn't need to site on the computer being insulted by him he actually asked where she lived - as if he was going to pop round to continue to insult her.I could not keep a straight face - which got me into trouble. :-) My wife had a go talking to him last night, and all he could do was insult her.

“It’s like talking to an intelligent parrot.”

Then, when she told him that she didn’t need to site on the computer being insulted by him he actually asked where she lived – as if he was going to pop round to continue to insult her.

I could not keep a straight face – which got me into trouble. :-)

Unfortunately my experience wasn't quite as surreal. Though, he is the best chatbot I've ever.. spoken with, I'll give him that.The conversation eventually degenerated to the point where I was openly insulting him in every way I could imagine.I'm going to try again when I'm not feeling so abusive.

The conversation eventually degenerated to the point where I was openly insulting him in every way I could imagine.

I’m going to try again when I’m not feeling so abusive.
