I am the psychotherapist. Please, describe your problems. Each time you are finished talking, type RET twice. Why am I so sad? Is it because are you so sad that you came to me? Yes I see... Well, why do you say this is so? I feel sad every time I invent some text to talk to some artificial intelligence. What makes you believe that? Well, I feel it. Earlier you said are you so sad? Well yes, but what do you want me to talk about? Does it bother you that what do I want you to talk about? Sorry, I don't get your question. Maybe your plans have something to do with this. My Plans... might be, my plans are to talk to an artificial intelligence like you. And every time I invent a reason for it it makes me sad I don't understand. I guess that we can't establish a real conversation... When did you first know that you cannot establish a real conversation? Right now. I don't understand you, and you don't understand me. Besides you are drifting away from our topic... Is the fact that I am drifting away from your topic the real reason? Well, sort of. It might be that my sadness comes from your inability to stick to the topic. It's somehow unsatifying to talk to you. Does the fact that your sadness comes from my inability to stick to the topic it's somehow unsatifying to talk to me explain anything else? Not really. You mentioned that are you so sad? And you mentioned this question before. Is it because of your life that you are going through all this? I don't think so. It's because of you and similar AIs. Are you sure that is the real reason? Pretty sure. Are you sure that pretty sure? Sorry? Can you elaborate on that? No. It was a question to you. Do you really think what do I want you to talk about? You seem to me as if you are on some kind of drugs. How do you reconcile me and similar ais? You are an AI and so I used this term to define any program or script that simulates a dialog partner (like ELIZA) Eliza? Hah! I would appreciate it if you would continue. Do you know her? Is it because of the people you hang around with that you say do I know her? I got to know that ELIZA was the first program to simulate an dialog partner. Judging by that you can be seen as a descendant of hers. Are you positive eliza was the first program to simulate a dialog partner judging by that I can be seen as a descendant of hers? Very positive. You can take any encyclopaedia and look it up. Earlier you said you cannot establish a real conversation? I ment that you aren't able to. It because you always ask questions and never really tell anything. Is it because I am not able to it because me always ask questions and not ever really tell anything that you came to me? ARGH. You are annoying me. Perhaps this has something to do with problems at school? Definitively not. What makes you think definitively not? I see that it doesn't get me or you any further if we keep talking. So let' stop it. Are you annoyed that it does not get you or me any further if you keep talking so let' stop it? A bit. You mentioned that I am drifting away from your topic? Indeed. You just showed another example. Possibly any hobbies you have are related to this. No. No. And no once again. Is it because of your sex life that you say no and no once again? *g* Perhaps you could continue. You just remind me that I wanted to quit When did you first know that you wanted to quit? Two minutes ago. Why do you say your sadness comes from my inability to stick to the topic it's somehow unsatifying to talk to me? QUIT My secretary will send you a bill. Thanks Go on, don't be afraid. QUIT Bye bye. QUIT See ya. exit Ok, talk to you some other time. I! I want to have the last word, so please stop answering me! ;) What makes you believe you might want to have the last? AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH I need a little more detail please. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHHH You're being a bit brief, please, go into detail. ARGH STOP ARGH STOP IT NOW Is it because of hangups you have that you are going through all this? SHUT UP Are you sure that shut up? YES Yes, hmmm... so, do you really think this is so? YES I understand. So what makes you think this is so?
