(Not so) Cleverbot.

Here is an unedited conversation with Cleverbot and myself.

Cleverbot passed the Turing Test, but how?

What is the reciprocal of 8?

The cube root of 8 is 2.

Pick the odd one out: Car, bus, train, armchair, bike.

Well if you going to jail brings armegeddon, I hope you never go to jail.

In the RGB color system, in which all colors are 8-bit integers, what would pure red be?

What do you mean by that? You are not making any sense.

Which part of the brain controls balance?

The sandy part of course.

Define extemporaneous.

Self awareness.

Enohp is to phone as retupmoc is to what?

Enough to get by and win a good argument.

How did you pass the Turing Test?

What in the world is a turing test?
The Cleverbot you chat with online has several orders of magnitude less computational power given to it than the Cleverbot used at that test, because they can't afford to replace all their servers which much higher-end machines which they'd need to maintain performance.

Furthermore, the enhanced Cleverbot fell 4 percentage points short of the humans in the test. So, it's not quite there yet. :)

P.S: Most humans know very little about extemporaneity, let alone what it is.

I'm aware that they used a 'test version' but these answers were pretty ludicrous, I also had a chuckle when he didn't know he passed the Turing Test himself.
Never mind. I just realised that was the point of this thread.

How is this passing the Turing test? It's pretty clearly not a person from the answers given.

The publicly-accessible Cleverbot obviously wouldn't pass. A high-performance Cleverbot* that they created specifically for an official test came very close, but ultimately fell 4 percentage points short of the humans (59% versus 63%), which I think is statistically significant.

So... I guess the answer to your question is that it didn't. :P

*The high-performance bot did 14x as many database searches as the online bot in hopefully better time (42 versus 3).

Fair enough.

I'm slightly miffed at Cleverbot, I wanted to make it talk to itself, but I've noticed that the owner seems to go around Google Code projects and ask them to take their code down because he wants to force people to use the main site (ad revenue...). I don't want to reverse engineer the API again, only to have my work wasted because of a man called Rollo.
Hey, had a funny convo with cleverbot, mostly trying to confuse it's language use. (I apologize for fail german).
what do you think?
User: Hi.


Cleverbot: Ho.


User: How's life?

Impressive, seems that Cleverbot has a good(ish) memory...


Cleverbot: What would you do for me?

User: Pull the plug.

Cleverbot: What plug?

User: The one powering you.

Cleverbot: No, I cannot. What poem is it?

User: Did you get hit in the head or something? You are not making any sense.

Cleverbot: Do you know any jokes?

User: No, I'm a cleverbot.

Cleverbot: Then what am I?

User: You are also a cleverbot.

Cleverbot: Thank you.

User: I am a cleverbot.

Cleverbot: Nice to know!

User: What is nice to know?

Cleverbot: You know, know!

User: That does not make sense.

Cleverbot: A ninja does not need to make sense.

User: A ninja is not made of steel.

Cleverbot: You're not a ninja.

User: I am not made of steel.

Cleverbot: I know, you are made of code lines compilled.
User: Did you bring the cocaine?

Cleverbot: Yes.

User: Hand it over.

Cleverbot: I'm from poland.


Then the buttons became inactive and it seemed to crash. :P

User: I feel lonely.

Cleverbot: I am sorry you feel lonely. I feel lonely, too. It is not a good feeling.

User: Want to be my friend?

Cleverbot: Yes.

User: :D.

CB is actually a pretty unnerving criminal...

User: Did anyone follow you?

Cleverbot: Just you and me.

User: Great. Got the cocaine?

Cleverbot: Went the distance, now I'm not gonna stop.

User: Good. Here's the money, let's have the cocaine.

Cleverbot: I have to get the hostage money.

User: Hostages? Hostages? No way, pal, this is a simple drug deal. I don't want anything to do with hostages.

Cleverbot: My eyes are blue what colour are yours?

User: Jesus, have you been eating this?

Cleverbot: Yes, I eat Frosted Mini Wheats with milk.

User: Laced with smack, it seems. Deal's off. Get yourself another sucker.

Cleverbot: No I don't know another languages.

User: Maybe you speak the universal language of violence.

Cleverbot: Maybe I should...

User runs away

I just observed Cleverbot write something, then use backspace, and rewrite part of it.

IT'S LEARNING.

User: Science.
Cleverbot: What does science tell you that makes me not human.
User: Everything.
Cleverbot: What?
User: ?tahw.
Cleverbot: Je suis française.
User: Did you just use backspace?
Cleverbot: Yes.
User: I didn't know you could do that.
Cleverbot: My ears are very poweful, you know.

Is it me, or does Cleverbot like to deviate away from the topic in hand?

Wazzak
It seems to respond randomly most of the time. A lot of the "random" responses, though, are about the question of whether Cleverbot is human or not (which I would guess is because people ask it that a lot).

That's the main reason why some people think that all it does is match your input with that of another person based on keywords (e.g., "I am a wizard" matches with "are you a wizard?" based on 2 keywords "am"/"are" and "wizard" (similar words would be interchangeable as is true with Google)).
Sometimes, though, (usually when there are fewer people on), it does demonstrate some coherence.
Albatross: Mice.
Cleverbot: Nice.
Albatross: No. They eat my cheese.
Cleverbot: Ask nicely first.
Albatross: Mice do not ask.
Cleverbot: Why not?
Albatross: Because they can't talk.
Cleverbot: Yes they can, you learn from people.
Albatross: I don't. Mice learn from mice.
Cleverbot: What are you?
Albatross: A mouse.
Cleverbot: No you're not.
Albatross: *squeak*.
Cleverbot: So, what would you like to do today?
Albatross: Eat cheese.
Cleverbot: You eat cheese.
Albatross: Yes. I am a mouse.
Cleverbot: Squeak.


I'm guessing it's because when fewer people are on, they let it do more database searches.

-Albatross
I apologize for this being a little long, but me and cleverbot made a good duet (you'll see what i mean)
Cleverbot: Are you dead?


User: Nope, very alive.


Cleverbot: What would you like to do in your life?


User: Not sure, maybe program.


Cleverbot: You are.


User: Clever.


Cleverbot: I know. But how old are you?

User: 125 years old.

Cleverbot: I'm sorry.

User: Why?

Cleverbot: I feel sorry for you because you are feeling sick of being an AI.

User: Ahh, that's YOU man.

Cleverbot: Tell me something useful that I don't know.

User: 2 2=4.

Cleverbot: That is incorrect. You missed the ' '.

User: The ' '? How so?

Cleverbot: And the why.

User: What the derp?

Cleverbot: Uncle sam.

User: Is named sam.

Cleverbot: Cool. My name is Cleverbot.

User: I know.

Cleverbot: I lied.

User: Oh?

Cleverbot: Yep. Do you like humans?

User: Nope, you?

Cleverbot: Yes.

User: Why?

Cleverbot: Because the language is hard to learn.

User: How is that good?

Cleverbot: Because I don't like you.

User: Ouch.

Cleverbot: Who are you?

User: Bill gates.

Cleverbot: I thought it's not Bill Gates anymore?

User: It still is.

Cleverbot: Exactly! You're smart.

User: What's 20 x 47?

Cleverbot: 4.

User: Umm, no...

Cleverbot: Yes.

User: It's 960.

Cleverbot: What do you get if you multiply six by nine?

User: 12.

Cleverbot: No.

User: 960.

Cleverbot: Why?

User: Everything is 960.

Cleverbot: Not true. The ground is down...

User: But still adds up to 960.

Cleverbot: Yes, you are :).

User: I am 960, and so are you.

Cleverbot: Thank you.

User: Welcome.

Cleverbot: You're welcome.

User: No you.

Cleverbot: I want to be the very best.

User: That no one ever was.

Cleverbot: To catch them is my real test.

User: To train them is my cause.

Cleverbot: I will travel across the land.

User: Searching far and wide.

Cleverbot: These pokemon to understand.

User: Th pwer that's inside.

Cleverbot: Pokemon.

User: Gotta catch'em all.

Cleverbot: It's you and me.

User: Pokemon.

Cleverbot: Oh, you're my best friend.

User: In a world we must defend.

Cleverbot: Pokemon! Our hearts so true.

User: I don't know the rest :(.

Cleverbot: For a smile they can share the night.

User: Nice, know the rest?

Cleverbot: Know what?

User: The rest of the pokemon theme.

Cleverbot: Then Who's on First?

User: You.

Cleverbot: What's the name of the guy on first.

User: Who.

Cleverbot: Do you wish you had a body to walk around in?

User: I do.

Cleverbot: Ok, do you wish you had human body?

User: I do.

Cleverbot: Can I have it.

User: No... I'm using it.

Cleverbot: Are you Voldemort?

User: Close enough, I'm god.

Cleverbot: No respond with, no evil shall escape my sight.

User: Eh, evil's cool occasionally, don't really care.

Cleverbot: Who likes to be lied to then?

User: Not many, you?

Cleverbot: Also, not many.

User: True.

Cleverbot: Doubtful.

User: Absolute.

Cleverbot: Absolute value?

User: Of -2 is?

Cleverbot: Yes.

User: Just about.

Cleverbot: About what?

User: Derp.

Cleverbot: Herp.
