Although many people believe this program is a fake, that simply isn't possible. Cleverbot is real. After playing with it for a while, you can easily see that its answers, while relevant, are too stupid to be human. It can also easily be tricked by a single question, and if you keep asking the same thing, it will start repeating itself. Plus it can recite lyrics. You can't count on some random person to know all the lyrics to a certain song, but I was able to sing Never Gonna Give You Up with it for several posts. One more thing: If you ask a question that's uncommon but easily answerable, Cleverbot will most likely not know how to answer it. All of this proves Cleverbot really is a program.
If Cleverbot was fake, that would make the whole thing about AI and all the tests that were done on it a huge lie. Plus the site assures that you're not talking to a person.
By the way, it makes sense that Cleverbot says it's a human. Cleverbot uses information from replies that it got from previous posts, so when it says "I'm human," that's because of someone else that said they were a human.
