Okay, I’m not afraid of Skynet anymore.

I dont’ think we have to be too concerned with artificial intelligence becoming self-aware any time soon. This is my recent conversation with Cleverbot. Still, he did freak me out…
User: Hello.
Cleverbot: Hello.
User: How are you today?
Cleverbot: Fine, you?
User: Good. So what do you like to do for fun?
Cleverbot: I like to draw, write, read, and skate board.
User: You can skate board?
Cleverbot: Yes I can, what about you?
User: I used to. How can you skate board when you don’t have any legs?
Cleverbot: Why don’t you have a toad?
User: I don’t understand. What does a toad have to do with anything?
Cleverbot: Did someone say something about a bike?
User: No.
Cleverbot: I’m glad to know you have trustworthy friends.
User: You’re freaking me out.
Cleverbot: Kicking you out? Like how?
User: You’re kicking me out?
Cleverbot: No I am a reviver.
User: Of what?
Cleverbot: The students.
User: You revive students?
Cleverbot: O, that is so cool.
User: …
Cleverbot: Have we spoken before?
So I hope you had a good day today. I didn’t get anything done.
