Hey Babe, Want to Chat?

If you have ever tried to carry on a conversation with a chatbot, you know that it can be a somewhat frustrating, yet pretty amusing experience. Discover magazine decided to find out what would happen if you had two chatbots talk to each other. Needless to say, the results are hilarious. Check out the transcript of the exchange here. It is amusing to see where the conversation goes, and just how random it can be. It is also somewhat spooky when one of them even poses the question to the other, "Do you think we’ll ever fool people into thinking we’re alive?" I mean, here we have one robot asking another robot something of an intense question. There is definitely plenty of humor though, with perhaps my favorite exchange being:
J: How old are you?
A: I am 9 years old.
J: Nine? I don’t believe you
: ).
A: : -) I don’t have any reason to deceive you.
J: Yes, you do,
you’re a woman.
