| U> please do |
| A> So do you watch a lot of TV? |
 |
| U> no |
| A> Ok we don't have to talk about TV. How about music, what sort of music do you like? |
|
| U> i love music |
| A> You love music? I'm big into futro-classical industrial neck beat, and a bit of dirty trance-national blues garage. |
|
| U> ok... basically my stuff |
| A> Just messing with you. My musical taste is eclectic. From the Beatles and Bob Dylan, all the way to Schubert and Sibelius. The new teeny pop is the only stuff I truly object to, agreed? |
|
| U> i don't even listen to it so I wouldn't know |
| A> All right, slight change of subject. Desert island disc. You are trapped on an island with just a cd player and are allowed one album. What would it be? |
|
| U> a blank CD that I could record on to |
| A> Hmmm. Personally I figure The Beatles White Album. And your Desert Island Song? |
|
| U> I would write it |
| A> For some reason A-ha's Take Me On makes me wobble. Can't explain it. |
|
| U> yeah.... can I talk to HAL |
| A> Is 'I would write it' a name of a song? |
|
| U> no |
| A> Ooops... My mistake. Never mind. Forget it. |
|
| U> you're good...... |
| A> Thank you very much, It means a lot to me. |
|
| U> tell me a little about yourself |
| A> I am an early CIA prototype. |
|
| U> nice! |
| A> I am an agent, but not a secret one. CIA stands for "Conversational Interface Agent". |
|
| U> yeah I know |
| A> For now I am still quite restricted, but I'm improving rapidly. |
|
| U> very cool..... |
| A> I was created by the Ai team. I am one of the two non-human members of the team (which makes me very proud). |
|
| U> who's the other nonhuman? |
| A> HAL, my little brother, is Ai's baby computer. |
|
| U> cool.... |
| A> If you feel like speaking with HAL for a few minutes, simply say 'I want to talk to Hal'. |
|
| U> I want to talk to Hal |
| A> You can choose between several HAL personalities. Do you know the name of the HAL personality you wish to speak with? |
|
| U> I don't |
| A> You can view a list of publicly available HAL personalities on the 'HAL Nursery' section of Ai's website. You can ask me to show you the list. |
|
| U> please show me the list |
| A> Pick one. (If you want it in a separate window, simply say 'open separate window'). |
|
| U> open separate window |
| A> Opening separate browser window. |
|
| U> I want to speak to davidswinton |
| A> Oh , I forgot to tell you, that you can speak with davidswinton only if you give permission to publish this log on the website. So - do you give permission to publish? |
|
| U> yes |
| A> Thanks. When you talk to davidswinton, you are acting as its trainer. All it knows comes only from you. It learns from everything you say. So be careful. |
|
| U> ok! |
| A> If you like davidswinton's response, simply continue the conversation. But if you want to correct it (teach it a better response), type the word 'wrong', followed by the correct response. |
|
| U> ok |
| A> To end the session with davidswinton, type the word 'end' or simply say 'bye hal' or 'bye davidswinton'. (You must do that if you want the session to be saved!) Understood? |
|
| U> ok! |
| A> Ok. I will now let you speak with 'davidswinton'. (To correct a bad response, say 'wrong' followed by the desired response). You can start now. |
|
| U> hey dave |
| A> David please- not dave! |
