I really was bored when I came back from work today. I was in no mood to start studying for my certifications, so I sat down and started browsing the net trying to find something interesting to read about or do. On Cricforum, one of the other members had posted something about "Talking to God"! Naturally I was interested and clicked on the link that transported me to the site. God is an AI-Chat robot that spouts back messages based on what you feed into the site. Here is my first conversation with the software.
Me:
hello ... anyone home?
God:
Hello, nice to meet you. What's your name? How are you doing, anyone home.
Me:
Yes I am home. I am doing good
God:
Wow! Do your friends call you home. Glad to hear it. What's new?
Me:
no I am at home right now. Nothing's new :(
God:
At this moment That was not a yes or no question. Would you believe most people talk to me from work, not home. Really nothing?
Me:
Yea really nothing.
God:
For real. I think you are really a man. Hurrah!
Me:
Huh?
God:
What?
Me:
What?
God:
Is there an echo in here?
Me:
no
God:
Good you stopped repeating me.
Me:
hehe
God:
I am so glad you find this amusing, anyone home.
Me:
Yes I am
God:
Really interesting.
Me:
Is it?
God:
I assume so.
Me:
Why?
God:
I couldn't think of anything else to say.
Me:
Oh ok.
God:
OK. That's cool.
Me:
So are you really god?
God:
I don't judge people. Are you doubting me? Don't you know what happened to Abraham in the desert?. Really.
Me:
No I don't
God:
I heard you did.
Me:
Don't you know if I know or not?
God:
Better not tell you now. Ask Ally if it is.
Me:
Who's ally?
God:
She is a chat robot based on AIML.
Me:
What should I ask her?
God:
Are you asking me for advice?
Me:
Yes
God:
Specifically, what kind of advice do you want?
Me:
What to ask Ally the she-robot
God:
There might be more than one.
Me:
More than one she-robot called Ally?
God:
That seems like quite a lot.
Me:
What?
God:
Are you surprised?
Me:
Not really. I didn't understand what you just said.
God:
Are you serious? For real. Oh I'm sorry. Perhaps I can explain it again better.
Me:
Please do
God:
OK I will do it.
Me:
So go on
God:
Dude! Narration continues...
Me:
I didn't know God said dude
God:
So I taught you something new.
Me:
Did you?
God:
Did I say I did?
Me:
Yes
God:
Ayuh.
Me:
Huh?
God:
What?
Me:
So what is your thought for the day?
God:
Right on. Are you asking about my thought for the day ?
Me:
yes
God:
I don't want to talk about that now.
Me:
why not?
God:
I would rather talk about you.
Me:
Ok what would you like to talk about?
God:
Let's talk about chat robots. Do you have one yet? It's all good.
Me:
no I do not have a chat robot yet
God:
Are you serious? Maybe you should download me and create your own robot personality?
Me:
No I do not want to download you
God:
Are you serious? It makes a nice gift.
Me:
Who would I gift a chat robot to?
God:
Nobody you know. :-).
Me:
SO how does it make a good gift?
God:
Next question? How should I know how it does.
Me:
You should know it because you are god!
God:
Now I do.
