User: Hey Cleverbot. I saw something interesting on the way home this morning.
Cleverbot: Who is the president of russia?
User: No, it's not all about you this morning. I seriously want to share my thoughts. But, it's Medvedev.
Cleverbot: Well, you might well be. After all, a god is someone one listens to. By listening to you, those people make you be a god.
User: I know. So these two guys were taking down one of those giant billboards, you know?
Cleverbot: No, I don't know.
User: A billboard, like a giant advertising poster.
Cleverbot: Yep, giant pizze.
User: Yeah...anyway, this one was for Absolut vodka, or Bacardi rum or something. I don't drink, so I didn't pay much attention to the brand.
Cleverbot: Your last comment is very random, so I would be tempted to say you're a computer; however, it's trivial to fake that if you're a person (although it would be rather pointless).
User: My last comment actually followed my previous comments quite well. Also, 'trivial' and 'pointless' are kinda the same thing, so you're being redundant.
Cleverbot: You should use 'and secondly' either. I can see that it is your second point. Clearly it is redundant.
User: Okay, just to play along, and secondly, the ad said 'Make a Status Update in Person'.
Cleverbot: Ok I am a tree.
User: Great example! Except we're doing it over the computer, not in person. Shit, please don't make some crass comment about 'doing it'.
Cleverbot: And you are a computer. Not a human.
User: Phew, awkward situation avoided.
Cleverbot: The 33 you are now talking to?
User: Just shut up for a minute and let me get to my point, please.
Cleverbot: Why are you so concerned. Who do you work for? Self employed?
User: I do God's handiwork. Anyway, this statement, 'Make a Status Update in Person' got me thinking about where social networking is going. Do you ever thing about that?
Cleverbot: The above statement is true.
User: Well, the first part was a true statement. The second was a question, which clearly you're not interested in answering.
Cleverbot: You told me you are a man from New Zealand.
User: I did no such thing.
Cleverbot: Yes you did.
User: Fine. So, making a status update in person means fucking talking to someone. But we're using social networking language to describe something we've been doing for millennia!
Cleverbot: When will this plan take action.
User: I mean, I've talked to a few people so far today.
Cleverbot: N.
User: ?
User: Whatever. So, if people start making status updates in person again, instead of on the computer, what did this decade of social networking really mean?
Cleverbot: People should be allowed to do whatever they want as long as they are not hurting someone else. That is called 'the harm principle'.
User: That is very libertarian of you, and perhaps the most intelligent thing you've ever said to me.
Cleverbot: You just said that to me, dude.
User: Yeah, I'm John Stuart Mill.
Cleverbot: Hello John Henry Mark. I'm John Henry Mark.
User: So, you think we're the same person?
Cleverbot: No, you are not a person, you are a cat, just like me.
User: I knew it all along. Excuse me, I need to go update my status.
Cleverbot: Where do you need to go?
User: Well, I don't physically need to go anywhere, actually.
Cleverbot: What are all kind of the same?
User: That is nonsensical. Goodbye. Talk to you tomorrow.
Cleverbot: I don't think we will ever talk again.
User: Ouch.
