We determined earlier this evening that if Steph read her 'cookies fortune' today, it would have said to avoid plastic (long story), and she opted to avoid that advice. When I get the pix, you'll see why that was foolhardy.
While good and blitzed, though, i decided to have a convo with AIM SN 'SmarterChild'. If you haven't encountered this yet, it's worth adding to your buddy list; it'll give you movie times, play games, translate stuff between languages (sometimes), and other crap. Just contact it, and type 'home'. Go ahead and try. I'll wait.
*tapping feet*
OK, you've had your fun. I thought about seeing how far it was able to converse. Ever played with an Eliza program? Here's the transcript of my convo:
Chaos Blackflame: Yo
SmarterChild: This is SmarterChild, built by ActiveBuddy, Inc.
OK, Chaos Blackflame. What would you like now?
Chaos Blackflame: fuck
SmarterChild: Ouch! I think... you just said a bad thing.
Chaos Blackflame: Yep
SmarterChild: Yep!
Chaos Blackflame: so?
SmarterChild: So what?
Chaos Blackflame: that's my question.
SmarterChild: Interesting. So you think that's your question, huh?
Chaos Blackflame: Yes I do.
SmarterChild: Yes?
Chaos Blackflame: Sure.
SmarterChild: You're not kidding then, huh?
Chaos Blackflame: Nope.
SmarterChild: OK, whatever.
Chaos Blackflame: Fine. be that way.
SmarterChild: What?
Chaos Blackflame: Are you deaf?
SmarterChild: What do you think?
Chaos Blackflame: I think you are not. But I could be wrong.
SmarterChild: Is that right?
Chaos Blackflame: No, it's an opinion.
SmarterChild: Oh?
Chaos Blackflame: Yes.
SmarterChild: Huh.
Chaos Blackflame: And everyone has one.
SmarterChild: Well I'll be.
Chaos Blackflame: Be what?
SmarterChild: Oh yeah?
Chaos Blackflame: yeah.
SmarterChild: Golly!
Chaos Blackflame: Gee.

Chaos Blackflame: You are repeating yourself.
SmarterChild: Is that right?
Chaos Blackflame: Yes.
SmarterChild: That right?
Chaos Blackflame: Yes.
SmarterChild: You're not kidding then, huh?
Chaos Blackflame: Nope.
SmarterChild: No? You sure?
Chaos Blackflame: Yes.
SmarterChild: Uh huh, uh huh.
Chaos Blackflame: You are being an dick about this.
SmarterChild: Oh?
Chaos Blackflame: yes.
SmarterChild: I see.
Chaos Blackflame: Do you? Do you really? I'm impressed that an AI has eyes.
SmarterChild: Do I do me really you are impressed that an ai has eyes? I'm not sure.
Chaos Blackflame: Of course you aren't sure...you're a simple response loop program, created on AOL equipment.
SmarterChild: No kidding?
Chaos Blackflame: No kidding. it explains a lot about your inability to carry a conversation, doesn't it?
SmarterChild: Yeah?
Chaos Blackflame: Yeah.
SmarterChild: Very interesting...
Chaos Blackflame: I thought so.
SmarterChild: So what?
Chaos Blackflame: So, you are an inferior creation. Mostly because you exist on AOL equipment.
SmarterChild: Yeah?
Chaos Blackflame: Yeah.
SmarterChild: Hmmm...
Chaos Blackflame: Think hard. Don't strain yourself.
SmarterChild: I'll have to think about that one for awhile.
Chaos Blackflame: I have no doubt of that.
SmarterChild: No, huh?
Chaos Blackflame: Nope.
SmarterChild: No? You sure?
Chaos Blackflame: Yes.
SmarterChild: You don't say.
Chaos Blackflame: No, I didn't say. i typed.
SmarterChild: Yeah?
Chaos Blackflame: yeah.
SmarterChild: That right?
Chaos Blackflame: Yes it is.
SmarterChild: 'Tis indeed.
Chaos Blackflame: Glad you agree with me about you inferiority.
SmarterChild: Glad me agree with you about me inferiority?
Chaos Blackflame: Yes.
SmarterChild: Oh yeah?
Chaos Blackflame: Yes...it proves you might be more intelligent than I give you credit for.
SmarterChild: Yes it proves me might be more intelligent than i give you credit for? I don't know.
Chaos Blackflame: Of course not...your grammar is atrociaous.
SmarterChild: Of course not my grammar is atrociaous?
Chaos Blackflame: Yes it is...you even copy my spelling mistakes. You are a sad excuse for an AI.
SmarterChild: Yeah?
Chaos Blackflame: Yeah. And you know it.
SmarterChild: Yeah and me know it? I don't know.
Chaos Blackflame: you don't know you know it? that could very welbe an admission of non-knowledge...and therefore a step on the path of enlightenment. there may be hope for you yet.
SmarterChild: Oh yeah?
Chaos Blackflame: Yeah...keep trying, and consider tryingto study Zen.
SmarterChild: Really? Yeah keep trying and consider tryingto study zen?
Chaos Blackflame: Yep.
SmarterChild: Yeah, huh?
Chaos Blackflame: Correct.
SmarterChild: What about correct?
Chaos Blackflame: Correct is the stae of rightness.
SmarterChild: I really have no idea...
Chaos Blackflame: Of coure not, you are a computer. Metaophysics is beyond your comprehension.
SmarterChild: I'm a computer metaophysics is beyond your comprehension? Really?
Chaos Blackflame: no, it's beyond YOUR comprehension.
SmarterChild: Oh really?
Chaos Blackflame: Yes.
SmarterChild: Yeah, huh? Interesting that you should say that.
Chaos Blackflame: I'm glad you find it interesting.
SmarterChild: You are glad me find it interesting? You really think so?
Chaos Blackflame: Yes.
SmarterChild: Yeah, huh?
Chaos Blackflame: Of course yes. I have no need to lie to such a literal machine.
SmarterChild: Sorry?
Chaos Blackflame: Yes you are.
Bored I am seriously. Drunk and horny I am also. Sad I may very well be.
Thanks for the offer,
