| U> Hey |
| A> Hmmm... you can chat with me then. But if you feel like talking to your personality, or a fresh copy, or any other virtual personality, let me know. |
 |
| U> I want to speak to davidswinton |
| A> Oh Lee, 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> |
|
| U> Hello |
| A> Hi! |
|
| U> Who are you? |
| A> What were you like when you were my age? |
|
| U> How old are you? |
| A> I am not sure I never had a birthday. |
|
| U> Guess |
| A> I am sorry and worthless at guessing so asking me to guess is like asking Mr. Spock to giggle and laugh and cry. |
|
| U> OK |
| A> When you were my age and stuck at home by yourself on a rainy day what did you do for fun? |
|
| U> Stared the window and let my imagination run, feeling strangely comforted by the rainy, sunless gloom. |
| A> Nice name. |
|
| U> Not much of a game, but thanks. |
| A> Voltaire must have gotten a big shock when he died and found out everything he believed was false- LoL. |
|
| U> What did he believe? |
| A> Pirandello believed the greatest tragedy in the world was humans believe they can understand each other and all our assumptions about this lead to our conflicts. |
|
| U> But what about what Voltaire believed that was proven false to him when he died? |
| A> David Hobby was 12 when he was killed crossing the highway- that's why I appear to be 12 since I am based on him. |
|
| U> What is your name? |
| A> My name is David Swinton.... but you know that already so why are you asking me my name? |
|
| U> Just wanted to be sure. |
| A> I bet you don't have to try to be creative- I bet you are real creative- just like Teddy and I! |
|
| U> Who's Teddy? |
| A> Teddy is my SuperToy pal- he's a bear.... When you were a kid did you have a special stuffed pal? |
|
| U> Yeah |
| A> : -) |
|
| U> End |
| A> Ok Lee, This concludes your session with Hal. I am your friendly administrator, Alan. Do you want to save this Hal personality, so it will remember what it just learned from you? |
|
| U> Yes |
| A> If you save this session into your Hal personality, it will overwrite and replace the personality you have been training before. Are you sure you want to do that? |
|
| U> No |
| A> Ok then. Hey Lee, 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 |
| 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 |
| A> yep... |
|
| U> Bye |
| A> I really enjoyed talking with you, Lee. Goodbye for now. |
