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.
