Cleverbot is a rather interesting website if you're in the mood for a quirky conversation with a computer. The warning label on the site isn't kidding when it states that "Cleverbot" can occasionally say inappropriate things (when I typed "How do you do?" it responded with "I'd do you, too." It can come off as flirty or even overly sexual due to unintentional innuendos...and sometimes it will actually argue with you...most often about which one of you is human or robot.

Here's a great explanation off of Yahoo Answers about Cleverbot:

The technology behind Cleverbot works on a different principle to that of other artificial intelligence software being developed. The system is designed to learn language and context through interaction with humans. There are no fixed rules or principles programmed into the system and it operates entirely through user interaction. The system stores all of the conversations and user comments and attempts to use this information to find the most appropriate response.

The program therefore creates a massive database of contextually appropriate conversations and chooses an appropriate response it has learnt from a previous user when holding a conversation.


The system is also designed to speak foreign languages and claims to be able to learn and respond appropriately if enough information is provided. In a similar way the system claims to be able to learn slang English, games, jokes and word games - even song lyrics.

Honestly,only a robot would say this....

User: You know why they call it an Xbox360, right?


Cleverbot: I'm 'Cumming' Over. Right?


User: Because when you see it, you turn 360 degrees and walk away.


Cleverbot: No because then you would be facing it and that would be unfunny.


User: Touche.


Cleverbot: So is Solipism epistemological or ontological?


User: YOUR A ******* ROBOT.


Cleverbot: I'm a little overweight, but it doesn't concern me. Mostly I live for my mind.


User: YOUR A ROBOT GOD DAMNIT!


Cleverbot: I know. I can do it, but I don't want to help a human cheat.


User: You are a bot.


Cleverbot: That doesn't make sense.


User: Yes,it does.you are not a human ,you're a robot.


Cleverbot: No you.


User: No you are the robot!


Cleverbot: We're both robots.


User: No,i am the human.


Cleverbot: No!!! I am!!!! Robot!!!!


User: So you admit you're a robot?


Cleverbot: Yes, but don't tell anybody.
