People of Apolyton!

Meh. That's just ALICE, stuck onto a silly looking platform with all of the settings removed (for example, ask it "What political party are you?")

Now, if you want to an ORIGINAL one made from scratch by your friendly Apolyton cephalopod, go onto AIM and send a message to the screen name PArkshire. He's still under rather heavy testing/modification, though, so don't get your hopes too high. And of course it wasn't made by a giant soulless research group thing like that ALICE script...but it's still pretty cool.

CP:

edit: I keep finding blanks, then when I try to recreate them it;s fixed. does the script evolve by any chance?

[Method]

Me: No, it doesn't
CP: Are you serious? I heard it does.

Program E on Reductionism:
Reductionism is the philosophy that all psychology reduces to biology, all biology to chemistry, chemistry to physics, and finally physics to mathematical logic. Therefore, according to reductionism, I can understand you by means of logic alone without having a human brain.

[Kirnwaffen]

The script evolves, so far as I can tell, to a limited extent. For instance, asking why now gets the 'because I was programmed to' response much less frequently than it did when I started. It also seems to be able to absorb some additional vocabulary, though it can be incredibly frustrating to get it to do so.

Program E on America's Foriegn Policy:

Computer: That seems unlikely.


Looks like they still have some work to do.

[Space05us]

It didn't seem to handle stereotypical English slang very well. "Bollocks" confused it enough and it completely lost it when I called it a "nutter."

Me: Hello
CP: Hi
Me: Do you remember me.
CP: Of course I remember you well sebastian. We were talking about load of bollocks.

[Bugs ****ing Bunny]

It's got really weird on me. It started calling me "Karl". Then when I said "Why thank you. Your good taste in quips is exceeded only by mine in everything else." it replied....

""that is a very nice name steve"? Why? Thanks I've never thought about it that way before."

Freak.

[Space05us]

yeah its not too good with names unless you tell it from the get go what your name is.

"If human knees bent the other way, what would chairs look like?"

"That is a hypothetical question."

"Does the Pope **** in the woods?"

"I can't tell if the Pope **** in the woods."

"If the Pope shat in the woods with nobody watching, would the trees be embarrassed?"

"I hadn't thought of that."
