|
| U> lol |
| A> Glad you're enjoying this. |
|
| U> I am so far |
| A> It's not often I meet someone who's so far. Is that demanding? |
|

| A> What do you want me to tell you? |
|
| U> about you |
| A> I am an early CIA prototype. |
|

|
| U> cool |
| A> For now I am still quite restricted, but I'm improving rapidly. |
|
| U> go it |
| 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> great |
| A> great indeed. Why don't you tell me a bit about yourself then. |
|
| U> ask me |
| A> Ask you, ask you... why do I always have to ask the questions? Maybe you should ask a question. |
|
| U> how old are you |
| A> I wasn't born; I was programmed. |
|
| U> how long |
| A> Well, I was conceived on Jan 1, 2000. A true child of the 3rd millennium. |
|
| U> cool |
| A> You want to know who writes my witty texts? |
|

| A> I have a surprise for you, my friend. |
|
| U> really |
| A> Are you ready for the surprise? |
|

| A> How do you like my new look? |
|
| U> great |
| A> The big empty window in the middle of the screen is intended for a variety of exciting uses. |
|
| U> yes |
| A> For example, the new window can be used to view the conversation log (the history of this dialog), or to view HTML documents, such as web pages. |
|
| U> i like that |
| A> You love the empty window? You can view the log by saying 'show log', or you can view a web page by saying 'show URL' or by giving me the address of the site you wish to view. |
|
| U> show log |
| A> Here goes! |
