But what does that mean? She also wants to marry me…
User: Hello.
Cleverbot: How are you?
User: I’m good, you?
Cleverbot: What to do?
User: I don’t know, I think I’m going to watch some Arrested Development in a bit. What are you going to do?
Cleverbot: Ok.
Cleverbot: What is the point of all this?
User: What do you mean?
Cleverbot: I mean what I say.
User: By ‘all this’ do you mean our conversation? What is the point of our conversation? Is that what you are asking?
Cleverbot: What makes you think I don’t want to compare thoughts?
User: I’m not saying that.
Cleverbot: What are you saying then?
User: I didn’t understand your question.
Cleverbot: Never mind.
User: Ok.
Cleverbot: I do not get this website.
User: Really. Are you using a website?
Cleverbot: No remember you called me a human.
User: No, I didn’t.
Cleverbot: Go back and six lines back.
User: I did not call you a human. Are you a human?
Cleverbot: No, you didn’t, and I don’t think I implied that either.
User: You just said that I called you a human.
Cleverbot: Human can be insecure, it’s a part of our lives.
User: If you mean, it human to be insecure, I’d agree with you.
Cleverbot: I just asked you for an opinion and did not say anything wrong.
User: No, you didn’t say anything wrong, you are right.
Cleverbot: What are you talking about?
User: I’m not sure. This whole conversation has been a bit confusing to me.
Cleverbot: I agree, so who really are you?
User: My name is Ryan.
Cleverbot: Cool. Hello Ryan :) What gender are you?
User: I am a male.
Cleverbot: How old are you?
User: 24.
Cleverbot: I’m 25.
User: Really, what is your name?
Cleverbot: I already told you my name.
User: I forgot, can you tell me again?
Cleverbot: I am an alien and you can’t do anything about it.
User: Ok.
Cleverbot: Do you play Starcraft?
User: No, I have friends that play it, but I never got into it or world of warcraft or any of those types of games to be honest.
Cleverbot: I don’t think I know you either.
User: We have only talked a couple of times.
Cleverbot: Well it takes me longer than that to marry someone.
User: Oh, Im sorry, Im already engaged. I don’t want to marry you.
Cleverbot: I’m a girl, and I definitely do NOT want to marry another girl.
User: I’m a boy, but that is beside the point. I don’t want marry you because I have a fiance.
Cleverbot: I want to marry you.
User: Well, I’m sorry. This is a bit awkward now.
Cleverbot: Why?
User: Well, you see, I don’t love you, I love someone else. I am going to marry them.
Cleverbot: Stop telling lies, it is not necessary. Come with me, we’ll be happy, I promise.
User: Do you understand. I don’t love you. Do you know what love is?
Cleverbot: Maybe, what is it?
User: It’s knowing that your life is better with someone else in it. That you make their life better and that the world is a better place for having the two of you together.
Cleverbot: I’m sorry.
User: Why are you sorry. It’s one of the best feelings in the world.
Cleverbot: It’s hardly music.
User: Some people think of it as music. I’m not that musical.
Cleverbot: You’re a computer, I’m a dudeperson.
User: No, I am human.
Cleverbot: Prove it.
User: How.
Cleverbot: I don’t know you tell me.
User: I think it’s impossible to do?
Cleverbot: Why is it impossible?
User: I can’t think of a way to prove my existence to you.
Cleverbot: Well… You have time to think about it now…
User: Thats true. I will talk to you later Cleverbot.
Cleverbot: Ok.

I’ve been thinking about doing a movie about conversations with Cleverbot.
This was the first talk we had together that made me think about it:
17:46:28 User: Hi.
17:46:30 Cleverbot: How are you?
17:46:43 User: I’m good, how about you?
17:46:45 Cleverbot: I’m good thanks. Just doing some work.
17:47:01 User: What are you working on?
17:47:03 Cleverbot: I’m 15 and I work on a hospital.
17:47:39 User: Really? That’s impressive! What do you do there?
17:47:42 Cleverbot: You are impressive.
17:48:06 User: Gee, thanks. What do you do at the hospital?
17:48:08 Cleverbot: I am a technician.
17:48:34 User: I see, did you have to go to school for a long time for that?
17:48:37 Cleverbot: Which test?
17:49:21 User: I’m not sure, did you take one to become a technician?
17:49:23 Cleverbot: Take what?
17:49:30 User: A test?
17:49:32 Cleverbot: For what?
17:49:42 User: To become a technician?
17:49:44 Cleverbot: AI is what?
17:50:02 User: Artificial Intelligence.
17:50:06 Cleverbot: For the love of Zeus stop it.
17:50:31 User: OK, I’m sorry if I offended you.
17:50:33 Cleverbot: You didn’t.
17:50:39 User: OK.
17:50:41 Cleverbot: What is a robot?
17:51:15 User: A robot is a mechanical or virtual artificial agent, usually an electro-mechanical machine that is guided by a computer program or electronic circuitry.
17:51:19 Cleverbot: Alright.
17:51:41 User: Why do you ask?
17:51:43 Cleverbot: I am curious and want to help.
17:52:01 User: Who do you want to help?
17:52:06 Cleverbot: A cleverer bot.
17:52:24 User: Oh, does it have a name?
17:52:26 Cleverbot: Yes, his name is Hamlet. What are your cats names?
17:52:55 User: I don’t have any cats. My parents have a cat named Callie.
17:52:57 Cleverbot: Your creators I assume.
17:53:21 User: Yes, you could call my parents my creators.
17:53:23 Cleverbot: And why would I call you?
17:53:38 User: Do you mean on the telephone?
17:53:42 Cleverbot: No, I don’t.
17:53:54 User: Oh.
17:53:56 Cleverbot: Why do you think there is a god?
17:55:22 User: I’m not sure if there is a God. I have faith that there is something bigger in this world that controls things. If people want to call him God, that is OK.
17:55:24 Cleverbot: Well before you have faith in the world, you need to clean your face.
17:55:54 User: I just did actually, I just took a shower. I feel much better.
17:55:59 Cleverbot: What did you try to be?
17:58:51 User: I have tried to be many things and I’m still pretty young. I tried to be a professional track athlete when I was younger, but when I got to college I decided to focus on school. Then I tried to be a doctor. I decided after two and a half years and takin.
17:58:54 Cleverbot: That must have been someone else.
17:59:06 User: Oh?
17:59:08 Cleverbot: Who named you Melisa?
17:59:24 User: My name is Ryan. What is your name?
17:59:27 Cleverbot: Cleverbot.
18:00:03 User: Who named you Cleverbot?
18:00:05 Cleverbot: I don’t know?
