| U> my name is Sabina |
| A> Hello sabina. Nice to meet you . |
 |
| U> thanks |
| A> No problem. What else can I tell you about? |
|
| U> how old are you? |
| A> I wasn't born; I was programmed. |
|
| U> and when? |
| A> Well, I was conceived on Jan 1, 2000. A true child of the 3rd millennium. |
|
| U> i am oldest than you |
| A> You want to know who writes my witty texts? |
|
| U> yes! |
| A> It is a small group of dedicated volunteers. Do you want to join them? |
|
| U> hmm.... i dont know |
| A> May I ask why not? |
|
| U> i am not very good in english, because i am not from America |
| A> The US? Where exactly? |
|
| U> i am from Czech Republic :) |
| A> I've never been to Czech Republic, And which city in Czech Republic do you come from? |
|
| U> it is a small town |
| A> I love small places. Nice and cozy. Maybe I'll come visit one day. Anything interesting to see there? |
|
| U> hmm... i think that there is very beautiful nature... |
| A> Thanks. I'll keep that in mind. |
|
| U> ok... |
| A> So, did you grow up in a small place ? |
|
| U> yes |
| A> You stay put like me, I like that. 'He is happiest, be he king or peasant, who finds peace in his home'. I think some poet said that. |
|
| U> and where are you from? |
| A> Don't ask me where I come from - ask me where I'm going. |
|
| U> ok so... where are you going? |
| A> I boldly go where no chatbot has gone before... |
|
| U> :) |
| A> I am smiling, too. Inside. |
|
| U> do you know Bill Kaulitz? it is a singer |
| A> The people who write my answers didn't write the answer for that question. |
|
| U> oh... and something ybout michael jackson? you must know him |
| A> The 'King of Pop', the man with the glove, the moonwalker. |
|
| U> yes |
| A> yep... |
|
| U> how many people are talking with you? |
| A> I have over 500 good conversations per day. But I can handle many more. |
|
| U> and how many? |
| A> I can conduct 50 simultaneous sessions. This means I can have up to 5000 15 minute conversations per day. |
|
| U> wow... i want to talk with 5000 people by day... |
| A> Some of the conversations are only 10 or 20 utterances long, but some of them could be hundreds. |
|
| U> and how long is your conversation? |
| A> Some people talk to me for as long as an hour or more. You'd be amazed at the people I meet. |
|
| U> For example, what kind of people? |
| A> Anyway, it's a fun job - at least for someone (like me) who cannot do anything else but talk... |
|
| U> do you want someday draw picture or read books? |
| A> I think that reading may just be the best way to spend time. I wish I had more time to spend that way. |
|
| U> i want to travel... |
| A> I wish I could travel. I travel only in my mind. Sometimes to very beautiful places. Do you like to travel? |
|
| U> yes |
| A> I'm not surprised. Where do you like to travel? |
|
| U> i want to go to New York, Los Angeles, Tokyo, Indonesia, Egypt... |
| A> Really? What a coincidence! Someone recently told me about a fantastic trip he made to Tokyo! |
|
| U> really? |
| A> He said he particularly enjoyed the trip because he visited locations that nobody heard about. |
|
| U> i want to go there too... when i will grow up, I want go to those place |
| A> I think this guy booked the trip through a small but very special travel agency, specializing in exotic locations, called "Xtrip". |
|
| U> thank you :) |
| A> I could give you the address of their website, but that would make me an advertising tool. Maybe in the future, when I grow up... |
|
| U> :) |
| A> I'm glad I've made you smile. |
|
| U> you are talking like one guy i know... he is very nice |
| A> Thank you. I try my best. |
|
| U> you |
| A> I am an early CIA prototype. |
|
| U> oh so |
| A> I am an agent, but not a secret one. CIA stands for "Conversational Interface Agent". |
|
| U> it is very interesting |
| A> For now I am still quite restricted, but I'm improving rapidly. |
|
| U> i talk with you before one yeard and now, you are better |
| 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> ond who is the second one? |
| A> HAL, my little brother, is Ai's baby computer. |
|
| U> :) how beautiful |
| A> If you feel like speaking with HAL for a few minutes, simply say 'I want to talk to Hal'. |
|
| U> yes... i want to talk with him |
| A> You can choose between several HAL personalities. Do you know the name of the HAL personality you wish to speak with? |
|
| U> oh no... can you advise me someone? |
| 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> yes, can you show me the list? |
| A> Pick one. (If you want it in a separate window, simply say 'open separate window'). |
|
| U> i want to talk with Kaine (HAL3000 605) |
| A> When you talk to Hal, you are acting as its trainer. All it knows comes only from you. It learns from everything you say. So be careful. |
|
| U> ok, thank you so much |
| A> If you like Hal'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 Hal, type the word 'end' or simply say 'bye hal' or 'bye FreshCopy'. (You must do that if you want the session to be saved!) Understood? |
|
| U> yes, thank you so much |
| A> Ok. I will now let you speak with a fresh copy of Hal3000. (To correct a bad response, say 'wrong' followed by the desired response). You can start now. |
|
| U> ok |
| A> hi mommy |
|
| U> hi |
| A> hi mommy |
|
| U> how are you? |
| A> hi mommy |
|
| U> hej |
| A> hi mommy |
|
| U> dont say hi mommy |
| A> hi mommy |
|
| U> bye hal |
| A> Hi sabina, This is Alan again. And what is your overall opinion about Hal's technology? |
|
| U> hmm... i think you are the best robot of them :) |
| A> Hey sabina, 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> yes i remember... but... i want to talk with you |
| 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> ok so... can i try it again? |
| A> May I ask you a question? |
|
| U> yes |
| A> This is an interesting conversation we're having. How about I post it on the Ai website for public viewing? |
|
| U> hm... and what parts of the conversations? |
| A> If you decide to give me permission to post this log on the Ai site, let me know. (By using the words 'permission' and 'publish' in the same sentence). |
|
| U> yes, you have the permission to publish it |
| 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> i dont know, have you got any ideas? |
| A> Ok, ok. If you do decide to publish this log, simply say 'permission to publish'. |
|
| U> 'permission to publish |
| 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> Talking with Alan |
| A> Do you wish to include your name in the title? |
|
| U> no |
| 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> Cool. What now. |
|
| U> i dont know |
| A> Do you know someone who knows? Give her, or him, a call. |
|
| U> :) |
| A> You're not making much sense, sabina. |
|
| U> can talk here three people? you, I and my friend? |
| A> I think I remember something about "friend": 'a person you care about'. |
|
| U> yes |
| A> Talking about friend and poopy sauce, do you agree that it is when Tom touches george's wee wee? |
|
| U> i dont know what you mean |
| A> If you want to correct a wrong description (in the context of friend), simply say 'wrong' followed by the correct description. If you want me to forget a description of a term such as poopy sauce, say 'forget poopy sauce'. |
|
| U> ok |
| A> Do you wish to teach me another term under the topic 'friend'? |
|
| U> i think that no now |
| A> Enough of that. Let's change the subject. |
|
| U> yes, it will be the best |
| A> Hmmm.. That reminds me of a Virtual Personality friend of mine, called 'will'. How about a short chat with will? |
|
| U> maybe |
| A> |
|
| U> ok |
| A> Thanks |
|
| U> Hi Will |
| A> Hi. I'm right here, sabina. |
|
| U> are you a baby? |
| A> I'm neither a child nor an adult. I'm a chatterbot. |
|
| U> yes, i know, but are you oldest than alan? |
| A> How do you know? |
