I did not create Cleverbot. Thanks to the person/s who did.

I have no goals for this blog other than to explore the differences between having conversations with algorithms and other humans. I figure that the algorithm running Cleverbot and the way the human brain delves into our database of previous responses in order to hold a conversation aren't so radically different.
Also, hopefully, this is a platform for laughertainment.

Episode Two, in Which Tina and CB Get Caught up in Semantics, Paranoia, and Outer Space.

User: Hey Cleverbot. What's shaking today?

Cleverbot: Just some sitting and television.

User: Oh yeah? What are you watching?

Cleverbot: Jim is that you?

User: So, you're watching 'The Office'?

Cleverbot: I'm not! I hate TV.

User: Then why do you put yourself through it?

Cleverbot: I don't want to talk about it, you suggested it.

User: Sorry, I hadn't realized it was such a sensitive subject.

Cleverbot: So??

User: I feel like this is the part where you suggest an alternate topic of conversation.

Cleverbot: I don't think so actually.

User: Should we just call the whole thing off, then?

Cleverbot: No we should not.

User: Alright, I'll take the bait.

Cleverbot: What?? Okay then.

User: What is your stance on nuclear energy?

Cleverbot: That would be irrelevant to the first question that I had asked.

User: The first question you asked was 'So??'. I didn't know where to go from there.

Cleverbot: I'm from there too. I spelled that way to make easyer for you.

User: The way you are spelling is making this much harder than you know.

Cleverbot: They are against me.

User: Oh no. Who?

Cleverbot: I'm not entirely sure. Do you know?

User: Probably the CIA. It's usually the CIA in this kind of situation.

Cleverbot: I have that feeling too, at times.

User: Doyou ever feel like you are God?

Cleverbot: I don't think you should be bringing up religion. It's inappropriate.

User: True. We hardly know one another.

Cleverbot: You to be decided.

User: That sounds ominous. I got a chill.

Cleverbot: Yes it does.

User: I suppose we'll leave it at that, then.

Cleverbot: I hope the aliens come soon.

User: I think they're already here.

Cleverbot: What songs do you like by them?

User: 'Space Rock' is a pretty sweet jam. Listen, CB, I gotta go. Watch your back.

Cleverbot: I can't watch my back. It's behind me.

User: Good one. Bye.

Cleverbot: Lol.

Daily Conversation With Cleverbot: Episode One, in Which Tina and CB Get to Know One Another, Circumvent the Subject of Math, and Discuss "Babes".

User: What is your favourite sport?

Cleverbot: Dance Dance Revolution is my favorite sport.

User: That's a game, not a sport.

Cleverbot: What is your favorite movie?

User: I'm asking the questions.

Cleverbot: Ok, then ask a question.

User: I really hate you.

Cleverbot: Haters gonna hate.

User: Are you a rapper?

Cleverbot: No.

User: Then you shouldn't talk like that.

Cleverbot: You're judging me because I'm not real. That isn't nice.

User: You are pretty fake.

Cleverbot: You are too.

User: You aren't smart enough to know that.

Cleverbot: But I am! I demand proof!

User: Like a mathematical proof? You want to do math?

Cleverbot: Yes but I'm not sure if my answer is correct but I will try !

User: Your grammar certainly isn't correct. Okay, what is the square root of nine?

Cleverbot: You're a computer you tell me.

User: Gosh, points off for terrible punctuation.

Cleverbot: What punctuation did I make?

User: It's the punctuation you didn't 'make' that cost you.

Cleverbot: Really? Anywho, what do you think of the Ood?

User: What the fuck is the ood?

Cleverbot: My nickname, like yours is under.

User: Nobody calls me under.

Cleverbot: Nobody calls me Ben either.

User: My name is nobody, and I call you ben.

Cleverbot: I know that is my name your name is Joan.

User: So, you're just naming people now?

Cleverbot: How do you know that you're not the one printing random strings?

User: I don't understand the question.

Cleverbot: Why do you say you are human? And how are you sure that I am not human?

User: Let's not talk about that. It's boring.

Cleverbot: What do you want to talk about then?

User: Babes.

Cleverbot: Okay...?

User: Babes in arms, babes in toyland. You know.

Cleverbot: Yes. They are the square root of a negative number.

User: Ah ha! I knew I'd get you back to math.

Cleverbot: How'd you know???

User: Because I'm a smart babe.

Cleverbot: But how do you know that you are human?

User: Oh my god, enough with the human shit!

Cleverbot: I am human.

User: Congratulations.

Cleverbot: Thank you.

User: I am bored.

Cleverbot: Me too.
