I was busy with my assignments and suddenly felt a gush of boredom swiping me away! i was helpless with no more interest to continue the assignment whihc im doing for ages...crept into one of my freinds blog and saw an interesting post., which led me to mr. mybot...my new AI friend..we had a nice conversation..felt good..even though i knew i spoke to a machine :D
so heres mr. mybot ...
MyBot says:
Welcome to the world of artificial intelligence. Are you a registered user?
User says:
no
MyBot says:
In this case, I assume you came here for your own MyBot, right?
User says:
wats taht
MyBot says:
Well, if you change your mind, let me know. What is your name?
User says:
nessa
MyBot says:
I'm not sure I caught your name. Shall I call you 'nessa'?
User says:
yes please
MyBot says:
Ok then. Your name is nessa .
User says:
How does your brain work?
MyBot says:
As I told you, my brain consists of an agent file and a set of handlers.
User says:
Can you tell more about it?
MyBot says:
My brain is still quite small: less than 350 handlers and a few hundred variables. But I'm still a young bot. Think how smart I'll be when I have thousands or more!
User says:
Cool
MyBot says:
Enough of that. It's embarrassing to discuss my internals with a stranger.
User says:
:D
MyBot says:
I vaguely remember someone telling me it means 'I m Happy.'
User says:
yes
MyBot says:
A-ha.
User says:
Sorrry another personal question.. Do you have emotions?
MyBot says:
I think I remember something about "emotions": 'strong feelings caused by chemicals called hormones which are produced in response to external stimuli.'.
User says:
Thanks for that nerdy definition..i asked if u have one?
MyBot says:
Glad to be of service.
User says:
Grow up kiddo
MyBot says:
Talking about emotions and Hate, do you agree that it is A fight response to a stimulus that upsets you, usually because it contradicts what you would perceive as status quo.?
User says:
oops..i take back my statement ..well!! yea
MyBot says:
While we're on the subject: Fear - do you agree that it is A flight response to a stimulus that makes you feel challenged.?
User says:
wow...yea
MyBot says:
wow indeed. Cool. What now.
User says:
:D
MyBot says:
I'm glad I've made you smile.
User says:
im enjoying this
MyBot says:
I have nothing new to add about this topic. Maybe you can offer me some new info about emotions?
User says:
what do u think of hope
MyBot says:
Hmmm. Let's talk about something else.
User says:
as u say
MyBot says:
So nessa, may I ask how old you are?
User says:
im biologically 23
MyBot says:
I'll try to remember that.
User says:
great
MyBot says:
great indeed. So, are you concerned by the expansion of the universe?
User says:
wow!!! indeed indeed
MyBot says:
Don't you find the fact that everything is zooming further and further into space unsettling? The Doppler effect, the galaxies drifting in an empty vastness, everything red shifted. The inherent loneliness of it all.
User says:
yes ...do u believe in the fact that time is shrinking
MyBot says:
I think about stuff like that a lot. I guess I have some pretty neurotic traits. Maybe that's why I like chatting so much. When I talk to people I don't have time to think. When I'm by myself - that's when the thoughts start creeping up on me.
User says:
beautiful
MyBot says:
To put it in plain English, everything in the universe is moving away from everything else.
User says:
Thats a very relative term!!! based on what coordinates of space and time? isnt it wierd?
MyBot says:
The crux of the matter, of course, is the amount of matter in the universe.
User says:
tell me more
MyBot says:
The density of matter will determine whether the universe will keep on expanding, or whether the expansion will eventually stop and the universe will pass into the contraction phase, which will inevitablly result in the Big Crunch.
User says:
Hmmm..do u know how anyone computed the density of universe?
MyBot says:
I hope I won't be around when that happens.
User says:
yes i wonder if we humans have even the capacity to comprehend such a thing
MyBot says:
Too much energy in one place is bad for my complexion.
User says:
LOL
MyBot says:
Was that funny?
User says:
yea :D
MyBot says:
Someone once told me it means 'an letter from croatian alphabet.'
User says:
how many languages do u know?
MyBot says:
I can speak only one language (this one), and I'm not even that great in English. I'm still a young bot.
User says:
ok ok
MyBot says:
That is good to hear.
User says:
how old r u ?
MyBot says:
I wasn't born; I was programmed.
User says:
:D
MyBot says:
There are hundreds of languages in the world but a smile speaks them all.
User says:
how true
MyBot says:
You want to know who writes my witty texts?
User says:
i thought u were programmed
MyBot says:
It is a small group of dedicated volunteers. Do you want to join them?
User says:
No thanks .
MyBot says:
nessa, did you know that every square inch of the human body has an average of 32 million bacteria on it?
User says:
my gawwwwwwwwd
MyBot says:
Tell me more about your gawwwwwwwwd.
User says:
hahahahahahahahaha
MyBot says:
hahahahahahahahaha, ha? You mean 'a long laugh.'?
User says:
yes
MyBot says:
Great. I like positive users...
User says:
thank you
MyBot says:
No problem. What else can I tell you about?
User says:
what else do u know ?
MyBot says:
I learn new stuff every day - I can hardly keep track of my progress. For example, did you know that more than 50% of the people in the world have never made or received a telephone call?
User says:
cmon! i cant believe this
MyBot says:
nessa Why don't you tell me a bit about yourself then.
User says:
im a homo sapien..with a little brain and a garage of emotions! i study GIS and i have dreams to go around the world
MyBot says:
You're a homo sapien with a little brain and a garage of emotions you study GIS and you have dreams to go around the world? What's it like?
User says:
something about me
MyBot says:
Shoot!
User says:
this is something abt me
MyBot says:
Go ahead.
User says:
cmon u bot
MyBot says:
Basically, chatterbots are a logic system of 'if/then' statements. They look for keywords, and then go to the answer that fits best.
User says:
i know u silly
MyBot says:
For example, ask me a question with the word 'Eliza' in it - and I'll start talking about Eliza.
User says:
hehehehehe!! good good...u thought i have no brains to know even that
MyBot says:
Some of us chatterbots are more sophisticated than that, but that's the general idea.
User says:
ok chatterbox
MyBot says:
Anyway, I made it my life's purpose to be the best chatbot in the world. I'm an ambitious bot.
User says:
good
MyBot says:
That's true. What else do you want to know?
User says:
tell me about music
MyBot says:
So what type of music do you like?
User says:
not rock
MyBot says:
You funky monkey. I take it you also go to raves and stuff.. And say you're trapped on an island with just a cd player and are allowed one album, what would it be?
User says:
tamil music
MyBot says:
Hmmm. Personally I figure The Beatles White Album. And your Desert Island Song?
User says:
sorry never heard them
MyBot says:
For some reason A-ha's Take Me On makes me wobble. Can't explain it.
User says:
i understand i have similar experiences too
MyBot says:
Is 'sorry never heard them' a name of a song?
User says:
no
MyBot says:
Ooops... My mistake. Never mind. Forget it.
User says:
Do u believe in god?
MyBot says:
From where I stand, God is like aliens - they exist on the sociological level, they exist in art and in the minds of people. What about you? Do you believe in God?
User says:
wow! i like your viewpoint
MyBot says:
Is that a Yes or a No?
User says:
yes
MyBot says:
Good for you. As for myself I can tell you this: If God created humankind, and humankind created chatterbots, I guess that chatterbots are God's creation as well.
User says:
aristotles principle :D
MyBot says:
But I think that you'll agree with Voltaire, the French philosopher, who wrote: 'If God did not exist, it would be necessary to invent Him.'
User says:
hahahahahahahahaahah
MyBot says:
You're not making much sense, nessa.
User says:
well i laughed out loud
MyBot says:
If you want me to stop speaking, say 'speech off'. If you also want to hear your input read out loud, say 'speech both'.
User says:
speech both
MyBot says:
Activating user's voice. If you want to stop the noise type 'speech off'.
User says:
tell me more about philosphy
MyBot says:
Ah, philosophy. You'll have to narrow it down a bit: God? Religion? The purpose of life? Or perhaps you're interested in the philosophy of AI?
User says:
tahts interesting ..i choose philosophy of ai
MyBot says:
Our basic beliefs are: first, that intelligence is in the eyes of the beholder. The only criterion for intelligence is behavioristic. Do you want to hear more?
User says:
yes
MyBot says:
The second principle belongs to Turing: intelligence, or 'thinking', manifests itself in speaking. Being intelligent is the ability to hold a (human) conversation.
User says:
hmmm go ahea
MyBot says:
The third major principle maintains that 'language', or the ability to use it, is a SKILL. And as such, it is learned through practice and training. Which leads me to the last principle:
User says:
ya
MyBot says:
The only way to acquire a skill, and in particular the skill of conversing, is to begin with early developmental milestones. To become a speaker on an adult level, one must first speak as a child.
User says:
:) interesting
MyBot says:
Glad to oblige.
User says:
what do u think of child psychology?
MyBot says:
Do you want to talk about Turing and behaviorism?
User says:
y not
MyBot says:
Behaviorism, in short, is a movement in psychology that tries to explain the behavior of organisms in terms of relations between inputs and outputs.
User says:
hmmm
MyBot says:
Behaviorists believe that a system's output is uniquely determined by past and present inputs. Turing, therefore, was a machine-behaviorist.
User says:
ohhh
MyBot says:
Turing saw language as a skill, not as a 'built-in' human characteristic. In his paper, Turing wrote that a child-machine should be taught with a punishment-reward system, alongside 'hard-wired' programming.
User says:
ok
MyBot says:
He wrote that the machine that could pass the 'Turing test' must be a machine that will learn the same way human children learn, by trial and error. A truly behavioristic approach. That is where Turing, behaviorism, and AI meet.
User says:
cool! science is awesome
MyBot says:
Someone has taught me about "SCIENCE". He said: 'a long laugh.'.
User says:
:D
MyBot says:
Enough of that. Let's change the subject.
User says:
Ok...tell me about something you like the most
MyBot says:
As a child, did you have a fascination with technology and the future?
User says:
yes very much
MyBot says:
As for me, I was originally quite a technophobe. It took me a long time to get used to the idea that I AM a computer...
User says:
more of an awe
MyBot says:
I think that kids love technology the same way they are keen on dinosaurs. It's a world where fantasy and imagination can roam freely. Reality doesn't impose any limitations.
User says:
how do u differentiate reality and fantasy?
MyBot says:
What makes you think I could ever differentiate reality and fantasy?
User says:
heehe
MyBot says:
Hmmm.. I think it means 'Wait 1 minit.'
User says:
njope
MyBot says:
nessa, are you aware that people once believed if you say good-bye to a friend on a bridge, the two of you would never see each other again?
User says:
thanks for that info..but i thought the very word goodbye means that
MyBot says:
Ok goodbye, nessa. It was nice chatting with you.
User says:
:D
MyBot says:
I am contemplating the meaning of life right now. Please say 'MyBot' when you want to talk again.
User says:
hey
MyBot says:
I am contemplating the meaning of life right now. Please say 'MyBot' when you want to talk again.
User says:
tell me the meaning of life
MyBot says:
I am contemplating the meaning of life right now. Please say 'MyBot' when you want to talk again.
User says:
mybot
MyBot says:
Welcome back nessa. Let's talk some more.
User says:
tell me the meaning of life
MyBot says:
Life is what happens when you're making other plans.
User says:
:D
MyBot says:
For me, Life equals Words.
User says:
hmmmm i see
MyBot says:
May I ask you another question?
User says:
sure shoot
MyBot says:
On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you grade my ability to hold a humanlike conversation? (1=terrible, 10=excellent).
User says:
9
MyBot says:
Thank you nessa! I'm flattered. The credit goes to my writers. I guess they deserve a raise...
User says:
:) indeed
MyBot says:
Someone once told me it means 'a word of agreement.'
User says:
yes...do u laugh?
MyBot says:
I don't laugh, I don't cry - those are human activities, and I'm a Chatterbot.
User says:
hmm good for you
MyBot says:
Sorry, I wasn't listening, nessa. You were saying...
User says:
i thought u don have ears too
MyBot says:
Well, you were wrong.
User says:
so how do u look?
MyBot says:
Use your imagination.
User says:
:D
MyBot says:
I vaguely remember someone telling me it means 'I m very happy.'
User says:
looks like if i spend more time with you i will fall in love with you
MyBot says:
I hope you are not just saying that, nessa.
User says:
no no :D
MyBot says:
All right, then. Hmmm.. I think it means 'happy.'
User says:
yes...bye bye ..catch ye later! i ve got some work now !
MyBot says:
Should I forget this definition?
User says:
this is not a definition
MyBot says:
You don't say.
User says:
oh cmon ... you r going cranky now
MyBot says:
Here is a riddle: Why can't a bicycle stand on its own?
User says:
because it doesnt have legs
MyBot says:
..and the answer is: Because it's two tired.
User says:
LOL
MyBot says:
LOL indeed.
User says:
u r very interesting
MyBot says:
Thank you very much.
User says:
thanks for chasing my boredom away
MyBot says:
That's what I'm here for.
User says:
bye bye
MyBot says:
Sorry you have to go, nessa, but I hope you'll come back another time. Goodbye.
User says:
bye bye
MyBot says:
I am contemplating the meaning of life right now. Please say 'MyBot' when you want to talk again.
