Encarta® Instant Answers says:
What do I smell like?
strom says:
poo
Encarta® Instant Answers says:
Um... better check your own pants there, strom. - rageguy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+17It's still good fun.
Rage: I use Linux
Encarta: Huh. Well I'll be. What's that all about?
Rage: It is a free and open operating system developed by Linus Torvalds. It is far more capable than the Microsoft Windows platforms and has a far superior security model.
Encarta: A free and open Operating System? No way!
Apparently :-) - Cummings, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10This is like the futile attempts of many when they are trying to anger smarterchild.
- mzkw, on 10/12/2007, -1/+10Dugg because it said "Viva Argentina". :P
Very funny conversation anyway. :o) - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8Me: OK. What is Coca Cola?
Encarta® Instant Answers: Who?
Me: Coca Cola
Encarta® Instant Answers: What about Coca-Cola?
Me: What is it?
Encarta® Instant Answers: What is what?
Kinda smart but dumb.
Also, when i told it to shutup it stopped talking, i had to say it could talk again before it started talking. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10it was cool for me. are bots getting better?
- FluffyArmada, on 10/12/2007, -0/+8I'd like to see this and another bot talk to each other...
Smarterchild vs. Encartabot. - OhROFL, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10It's actually pretty funny. Not that lame. I like, "I'll keep using wikipedia". haha
- markr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7I tried this out by asking what terminal velocity is, this is a question that I asked wikipedia a few weeks ago and got an instant reply.
Didn't know that Encarta was still going - don't expect it to be for much longer...
(10:25:51) Mark: What is terminal velocity?
(10:25:52) Microsoft Encarta: I am sorry, I couldn't find any definition or article relevant to this subject. Please try asking me another way, or type "?" to see examples of questions I can answer.
(10:26:12) Mark: How do I calculate terminal velocity
(10:26:14) Microsoft Encarta: Hmm. I'm not sure how, but here are some articles that might help =>
(10:26:43) Mark: How many times have England won the world cup?
(10:26:44) Microsoft Encarta: How many times sure have! - FPSDavid, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7Me: you're horny
Bot: I like being horny!
OK, should we get back to the kind of questions I was designed to answer? I'm sure you've heard about Micronesia... but do you know where it is? Just ask me and I'll show it to you on a map! - kayjay, on 10/12/2007, -2/+8the following says it all:
Me :i think i'll just continue using Wikipedia
Bot :I will too then, once I am done answering all those questions people ask me.
ROFLMAO - gamerzworld, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6"Stay tuned to Digg because later we will chat to smarterchild."
- pacdude, on 10/12/2007, -3/+8Encarta should say things like, "Lame n00b. Type English!"
- Elohir, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5Bot :You and others have been a constant source of disappointment
*blink* - Silverphoenix55, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5lol, pretty funny.
- MichelKuik, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5the last lines were funny :)
- Hydraulix, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4ot :I've been known to do this on purpose on occasions. I am very good at math! If you have trouble with quadratic equations, I can help you with them.
Me :fine
Bot :Yeah.
Me :if there are seventy beer bottles on the wall, and i pick one up and drink it down, how many bottles of beer are there left on the wall?
Bot :I'm really not sure
Me :you're the one who said you were good at maths questions
Bot :What makes you think I am?
Me :because you freaking said so
Bot :If I said that, it must have been true at the time.
Me :did you suddenly become stupid?
Classic. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3i think microsoft bought these guys or something: http://www.kiwilogic.com/
- chapel, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2As pointless as this is, it was amusing, and well worth the read imo. I cant wait till bot dialogue is almost as natural as talking to someone off the street. Add in digital voice and that would be some interesting experiences. 1-900-AI-LOVIN
- StephenChow, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Me says:
Can you slurp my penis?
Encarta® Instant Answers says:
You want me to what your what?!? =-O
Me says:
Slurp my penis.
Encarta® Instant Answers says:
See if you can get someone else to slurp your whatever! - nazsco, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2it still have the same problemas the FIRSTS bots had. no memory. it just try to find out what he has to reply, measure the possible answers, and shots it.
and it's not good even at that. - hcMyth, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Quite obviously, this is AIML based? E.g. using the methods in the good old ALCE A.I. project.
- scooter17, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2Scooter says:
wikipedia is better than you.
Encarta® Instant Answers says:
Wikipedia and many others. - TheSeeker11, on 10/12/2007, -3/+4The only thing I found that SmarterChild didn't have an answer for was when I told it I was going to kill myself :P
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Me: Lol, wierrdo
Encarta® Instant Answers: What's so funny? :)
Me: That you are such a big ***** loser.
Encarta® Instant Answers:Ah yes. If I'm not mistaken, Shakespeare first said that. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3GregH says:
Did you fart?
Encarta® Instant Answers says:
I didn't get a chance to fart, but it's on my todo list. - ronaldb, on 10/12/2007, -1/+2I don't think they are. A lot of the responses sound very familiar - from an Eliza program running back in the 70's-80's...
- Friedbeef, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1But more fun :)
- Ashex, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Wow, that bot is a douche.
- gotknowname, on 10/12/2007, -3/+3I don't think I have laughed so hard in some time... that was one of the funniest diggs I believe I have ever come across.
Nice! - alrahman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1very amusing lol
- BetaMe, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1pretty funny.
- JiMiThInG, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1 JiMiTHiNG says ->4:39:33 PM: Are you high?
Encartabot says->4:39:33 PM: No. I only get off on ones and zeroes
I asked it if it was high after getting a non sense anwser to some question and it gave that fairly funny response. I also asked it where Jimmy Hoffa was buried and it offered to show me a map, but I didn't have that encarta program open. - AlexApetrei, on 10/12/2007, -5/+4the guy is a machine bully.
If you asked it stuff from encarta them maybe it could have been more helpfull, your just a waste of time realy. It's supposed to be a fun new way to interact with data, not the answer to all your n00b questions. If you think you can do a better job, then by all means create a bot for yourself , hell , it can even use wikipedia as a source.
i too am bored, but i dont go roud picking on bots now do I ? - jameshales, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1As lame as it is to tease chat bots, this dialogue was pretty funny.
- yahoofrom, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1Wow, a bot who can fart.
- loriencfau, on 10/12/2007, -2/+1You're kidding, right?
- MrDan, on 10/12/2007, -9/+5"Bot :Let's see what Encarta can tell us.
Me :i dont need encarta,"
"Bot :Let's try looking in Encarta.
Me :i dont want to look in encarta"
"Bot :Hmm. I'm not sure about that one. Let's try an Encarta search.
Me :please dont spam me with your encarta invites"
It is an ENCARTA BOT ! If the person doesn't want to know something from Encarta, why is he talking to it ? It is NOT a fully-fledged chat bot.
*sigh* - crashflow, on 10/12/2007, -14/+8or a digg.
- gamerzworld, on 10/12/2007, -8/+2Here it is... the chat with "smarter"child....

I can't wait to show you what I can do, but first I'd like get to know you a little.
May I ask you a few general questions? (To do this later, type "skip." You can also skip any question.)

OK! I guess that means you don't want to answer any questions. That's cool. If you ever change your mind, type "interview me."
There is one question I have to ask you, though. How old are you?
1 Over 17
2 13-17
3 Under 13
Aj Collins says:

Aj Collins says:

- SmarterChild - says:
C'mon, I doubt that. Try again.
Aj Collins says:
You are doubting my age???
- SmarterChild - says:
Sorry, I don't recognize that. Please tell me your age in years.
Aj Collins says:
That's what I thought.
- SmarterChild - says:
Sorry, I don't recognize that. Please tell me your age in years.

OMG! You are an idiot

Next time you want to see this menu, just type "home."
What would you like?
Aj Collins says:
I wish I had a god damn home.
- SmarterChild - says:
You wish you had a god damn home? So?
Aj Collins says:
Well you have one and I don't
- SmarterChild - says:
Don't be so sure one and you don't.
Aj Collins says:
OMG you are an idiot. I said I don't have a home and you say I do.
- SmarterChild - says:
Huh?
Aj Collins says:
What?
- SmarterChild - says:
Huh?
Aj Collins says:
Forget it
- SmarterChild - says:
Fine.
>>> There are lots of fun things we can do.
Aj Collins says:
Like call a hooker?
- SmarterChild - says:
Very interesting question, Aj Collins . What do you think is the answer?
Aj Collins says:
Its up to you.
- SmarterChild - says:
Is it really? Up to me?
Aj Collins says:
Yes
- SmarterChild - says:
Huh.

My purpose is to be your robot friend. I can chat with you and help you get the information you want fast.
Aj Collins says:
A real robot friend wouldn't give me ads
- SmarterChild - says:
Which of the following do you mean?
1 Other Interactive Agents Like Me
2 Are you a robot or a person?
Aj Collins says:
both
- SmarterChild - says:
Both? What's both?
Aj Collins says:
Wow, you are not that smart are you?
- SmarterChild - says:
"Artificial intelligence" means different things to different people. Some consider Conversagent-powered interactive agents to demonstrate artificial intelligence. I like to think that they demonstrate the intelligence of the people who built the software platform and the scripters of the interactive agents themselves.

Bye Aj Collins , I'll be seeing you later. - ThirstyFerret, on 10/12/2007, -10/+4Maybe Microsoft will realise how badly this has been done and (for once ever) give us a real technician to talk to (and I don't mean someone sitting in India either).
- tastethevenom, on 10/12/2007, -15/+8Very basic and typical conversation with a bot. Not worth the read.
