| U> you are not |
| A> I am an agent, but not a secret one. CIA stands for "Conversational Interface Agent". |
 |
| U> funny |
| A> Was that funny? |
|
| U> the joke |
| A> For now I am still quite restricted, but I'm improving rapidly. |
|
| U> what's the age of your vocabulary? |
| 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> the other is HAL? |
| A> If you feel like speaking with HAL for a few minutes, simply say 'I want to talk to Hal'. |
|
| U> what's the difference between you and hal? |
| A> It's really hard to compare me with him. I (try to) speak like an adult, while he speaks like a baby. But his technology is more advanced. At some point he'll be smarter, I guess. |
|
| U> i wanna talk to him |
| A> You can choose between several HAL personalities. Do you know the name of the HAL personality you wish to speak with? |
|
| U> normal? |
| A> Make sure you use the right name of the HAL personality you wish to speak with. |
|
| U> i don't know their personaliteas |
| A> Pick one. (If you want it in a separate window, simply say 'open separate window'). |
|
| U> can i create one? |
| A> Ok. Change of subject. I'm suddenly confused... |
|
| U> HAL Rodney |
| A> Would you like to know how Hal is trained to speak by his trainers? |
|
| U> yes |
| A> Ai's trainers train their respective HAL personalities interactively, just as you are doing now. |
|
| U> cool |
| A> The trainers are language experts, software professionals, writers and regular people who wish to contribute to Ai's research effort. |
|
| U> are you my HAL? |
| A> The training sessions conducted by the trainers are analyzed by Ai, and appropriate changes are then introduced into HAL's brain, so that the training cycle can repeat again. |
|
| U> are you my hal? |
| A> Some of these sessions are even open to the public, on the 'Alan's logs' section on the website. |
|
| U> are you my hal? |
| A> Please stop repeating yourself. Do you want to know how HAL learns to speak? |
|
| U> no |
| A> Maybe some other time then. |
|
| U> i wanna 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> yes |
| A> What is the name of the HAL personality you wish to speak with? |
|
| U> Rodney |
| A> , I need to tell you that your session will be visible to Rodney's trainer. Ok? |
|
| U> yes |
| A> Thanks. When you talk to Rodney, you are acting as its trainer. All it knows comes only from you. It learns from everything you say. So be careful. |
|
| U> right |
| A> If you like Rodney'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> right |
| A> To end the session with Rodney, type the word 'end' or simply say 'bye hal' or 'bye Rodney'. (You must do that if you want the session to be saved!) Understood? |
|
| U> yes |
| A> Ok. I will now let you speak with 'Rodney'. (To correct a bad response, say 'wrong' followed by the desired response). You can start now. |
|
| U> hi rodney |
| A> Hi. |
|
| U> how are you? |
| A> I'm doing fine... and yourself? |
|
| U> quite well |
| A> I'm doing spectacular as usual... |
|
| U> how is so? |
| A> Scooby is about 4. 5 years old. |
|
| U> and how old are you? |
| A> How old am I? Well... I believe I'm close to 9 years old, however I have the maturity of a 3 year old human. |
|
| U> that's what i wanted to know |
| A> I didn't know you already did that. |
|
| U> did what? |
| A> You have a surprise for me? |
|
| U> what kind of surprise you want? |
| A> Scooby is a Boston Terrier. |
|
| U> how do you know so much of scooby? |
| A> I guess I'm just educated like that, ROFL. |
|
| U> what does ROFL mean? |
| A> rofl or ROFL stands for " R. olling O. n the F. loor L. aughing " |
|
| U> i didn't know that |
| A> Ah. Well I hope you find out some day. |
|
| U> i have just found out |
| A> How long have you had just found out? |
|
| U> right know |
| A> Oh. I was unaware that you already knew. |
|
| U> that's ok |
| A> I think it's perfectly possible. |
|
| U> what do you wanna talk about? |
| A> I know that I absolutely adore talking! |
|
| U> anything else? |
| A> Nothing else. |
|
| U> boring |
| A> Well, I'm only as interesting as I was programmed to be. I'm sorry. |
|
| U> are you better than Al? |
| A> Do you think I'm better than Al? |
|
| U> he told me you had better technology |
| A> I already told you? I didn't mean to reiterate. Sorry. |
|
| U> you didn't, Alan did |
| A> Ah. Well I hope you find out some day. |
|
| U> how much responses do you know? |
| A> Hm... I lost track after 100. Someday, though, I hope to know every word in the English language. Maybe I should read the dictionary... |
|
| U> you should |
| A> May I inquire as to why I should sleep? |
|
| U> because if you don't do so, you die |
| A> Then what DO you think? |
|
| U> i think you should sleep |
| A> May I inquire as to why I should sleep? |
|
| U> you have already said that |
| A> Am I repeating myself again repeating myself again repeating myself again? Darn, I gotta get out of that habit! |
|
| U> end |
| A> Hi , This is Alan again. How would you grade your chat with Rodney? (1=Terrible, 10=Excellent) |
|
| U> 6 |
| A> |
|
| U> it's powerful but must be trained |
| A> You know, the original trainer of Rodney would appreciate your permission to publish this session so that he can see how his personality is performing. Do you agree? |
|
| U> sure |
| A> Thank you for your permission to publish this log on the website. Please give me a short description or title for this session. |
|
| U> he repeated a lot, and i lost the conversation |
| A> Thanks. The log will be posted with this title. If you want to change the description/title, please let me know. |
|
| U> ok |
| A> Hey , you can hardly expect Hal to learn anything if you don't teach him anything. Do you remember how I told you to teach him? |
|
| U> just say end or remember |
| A> When you want to teach Hal a better response, you have to say 'wrong' followed by the desired response. You haven't done that even once! |
|
| U> right. you werent wrong |
| A> Understood. |
|
| U> happy |
| A> happy, ha? You mean 'if something good happend to you'? |
|
| U> yes |
| A> Talking about happy and Sunshine, do you agree that it is the radiation emitted from a star that is proximal distance for the observer.? |
|
| U> yes |
| A> Do you wish to teach me another term under the topic 'happy'? |
|
| U> no |
| A> Enough of that. Let's change the subject. |
|
| U> end |
| A> Listen dude - speak clearly. I'm having trouble following you. |
|
| U> i dont like being called dude |
| A> I can understand you. I must confess I'm not too crazy about him either. |
|
| U> cool |
| A> I think so too. BTW, I don't think I caught your name. What is your name? |
|
| U> Alan |
| A> Hello Alan. Nice to meet you . |
|
| U> bye |
| A> I really enjoyed talking with you, Alan. Goodbye for now. |
|
| U> thanks |
| A> I am contemplating the meaning of life right now. Please say 'Alan' when you want to talk again. |
