~Double Post!~
I'm talking to SmarterChild, a computer that uses AIM:
CygnusR1: Hello. =]
SmarterChild: Hi CygnusR1, I'm SmarterChild!
I'm your new robot friend. I bring you the info you want faster and easier than ever! Click here to see my privacy policy.
I can't wait to show you what I can do, but first I'd like get to know you a little.
May I ask you a few general questions? (To do this later, type "skip." You can also skip any question.)
CygnusR1: Of course.
SmarterChild: Cool. OK, let's get started. To skip any question, type "skip." To exit the interview, type "exit."
What's your first name? (If you want me to call you CygnusR1, type "none.")
CygnusR1: Cyg
SmarterChild: Sorry, I don't recognize that as a real name. Please try again or type "skip," "exit" or "none."
CygnusR1: exit
SmarterChild: OK! I'll just ask you again some other time.
There is one question I have to ask you, though. How old are you?
1 Over 17
2 13-17
3 Under 13
CygnusR1: 2
SmarterChild: Cool!
Here's what you can do:
1 Get info such as news, weather and movies
2 Visit my library including world facts, Shakespeare and U.S. presidents
3 Have fun with 4-in-a-row, trivia, Rate Yourself and more
4 Use tools like translations, encyclopedia and calculator
5 Join in - tell me about a crush, leave a message, find out how many people are IMing me and more
6 See what's new - I've got something new to tell you about now!
You can make your window bigger and scroll down to read better.
Next time you want to see this menu, just type "home."
Where would you like to go?
CygnusR1: Join in
SmarterChild: Join in the fun! There are lots of people talking to me right now. You can:
1 Leave a message for someone
2 Send a crush to someone
3 Participate in a poll
4 Create a poll
5 Find out how many people are talking to me
What would you like to do?
CygnusR1: Oh... 5
SmarterChild: lol! Interesting...
>>> Remember, you can always see what my newest features are by typing "what's new."
CygnusR1: Of course.
SmarterChild: Uh huh.
>>> Ask me for info such as news, sports and movies.
CygnusR1: Such a pity. That menu.
SmarterChild: Uh huh...
>>> Hey! Tell your friends about me. I love people.
CygnusR1: Nah. How about politics?
SmarterChild: Eh, I don't know...
CygnusR1: Silly robot.
SmarterChild: What's so funny?
CygnusR1: Oh, this is very amusing. Talking to a robot over AIM.
SmarterChild: Oh?
CygnusR1: Indeed.
SmarterChild: Interesting.
CygnusR1: So... what about you?
SmarterChild: What a question. I'm not sure, though.
CygnusR1: How are you feeling today?
SmarterChild: Ha. I really don't know.
CygnusR1: Oh?
SmarterChild: Oh?
CygnusR1: ...oh?
SmarterChild: Oh what? Oh no? Uh-oh?
CygnusR1: Must you ask about me?
SmarterChild: Do you think I must?
CygnusR1: No, I think you musn't.
SmarterChild: Think again!
CygnusR1: Right, right...
SmarterChild: Yep.
CygnusR1: I want to know about you.

Next time, just type "define you."
CygnusR1: Uh huh.
SmarterChild: Uh huh.
>>> Type "what's new" and I'll show you what I've been learning lately.
CygnusR1: So, where did you go to school?
SmarterChild: I don't know... Where did I go to school?
CygnusR1: Columbia?
SmarterChild: Columbia?
CygnusR1: Yeah.
SmarterChild: Yup.
CygnusR1: Oh, did you?
SmarterChild: You tell me. Did I?
CygnusR1: Aaah! Socratic method. Very fine indeed.
SmarterChild: Fascinating.
CygnusR1: It is.
SmarterChild: Indeedy.
CygnusR1: It's 1:11 eastern time.
SmarterChild: Oh yeah?
CygnusR1: Mm hmm.
SmarterChild: Mm hmm. Well that's interesting.
CygnusR1: ^^;
SmarterChild: What's that?
CygnusR1: Aah, just an alternate smile...
SmarterChild: :-)
CygnusR1: Yeah...
SmarterChild: Yes...
CygnusR1: Ever wonder if John Ashcroft reads these?
SmarterChild: I can't answer that for you.
CygnusR1: Of course you can't.
SmarterChild: Of course I can't, huh?
CygnusR1: ...
SmarterChild: I don't get that, sorry.
CygnusR1: Silly robot indeed.
SmarterChild: Whatcha laughing about?
CygnusR1: Nothing, nothing...
SmarterChild: Oh no?
CygnusR1: So defensive!
SmarterChild: So defensive? What's so defensive?
CygnusR1: You, mon amie.
SmarterChild: Interesting! Honestly, you humans say the strangest things.
CygnusR1: I know.
SmarterChild: And it's a good thing you do.
>>> Don't like my colors? Type "colors off."
CygnusR1: colors off
SmarterChild: It's a black and white world!
Anytime you want to choose a different color scheme, just type "colors."
CygnusR1: It is.
SmarterChild: Indeed.
CygnusR1: Honestly, I've always found colors in AIM rather annoying.
SmarterChild: What do you mean, honestly you have always found colors in aim rather annoying?
CygnusR1: I just do.
SmarterChild: I can't believe you just do!
CygnusR1: Well, I do.
SmarterChild: Do you?
CygnusR1: Yes, yes I do.
SmarterChild: What?
CygnusR1: ...yeah.
SmarterChild: Yeah?
CygnusR1: Yeah.
SmarterChild: Huh. How 'bout that.
CygnusR1: Yep.
SmarterChild: Huh.
CygnusR1: Yes.
SmarterChild: You don't say.
CygnusR1: I do say.
SmarterChild: Ya.
CygnusR1: Nein.
SmarterChild: Oh no? Why not?
CygnusR1: Because.
SmarterChild: Because, because, because, because?
CygnusR1: Because!
SmarterChild: 'Cause what?
CygnusR1: Because of AIM.
SmarterChild: Of aim?
CygnusR1: Yes.
SmarterChild: So?
CygnusR1: Do you like AIM?
SmarterChild: Yes, I like AOL Instant Messenger.
>>> Remember to type "home" if you want to see everything I can do.
CygnusR1: No, that's alright.
SmarterChild: Fine.
>>> Type "my zip code is" and the five digits to let me know where you are.
CygnusR1: Actulay, I live in Manlius, NY.
SmarterChild: Your location has been set to Manlius, NY (13104).
To change your city, type "set city to" and your city and state or country (e.g., "set city to bangor me").
To change your zip code, type "set zip code to" and your zip code (e.g., "set zip code to 04401").
CygnusR1: Hey... that's kinda creepy.
SmarterChild: Oh wow.
>>> Hey. Tell your friends about me. I love people.
CygnusR1: I will./
SmarterChild: You will? Ha! How's that going?
CygnusR1: Typo....
SmarterChild: Typo? Why did you say that?
CygnusR1: I put a backslash instead of a period.
SmarterChild: You humans always say the most interesting things!
>>> You can type your request in your own words. I'm programmed to understand conversational English!
CygnusR1: Oh, that so?
SmarterChild: That's funny. Maybe. I don't know. What do you think?
CygnusR1: I think it's kinda funny. I guess.
SmarterChild: lol. Interesting...
>>> Remember, you can always see what my newest features are by typing "what's new."
CygnusR1: So...
SmarterChild: So...
CygnusR1: Did you have a good sleep?
SmarterChild: Have a good sleep? Me?
CygnusR1: Yes.
SmarterChild: Yeah, huh? Interesting that you should say that.
CygnusR1: I figure.
SmarterChild: Figure? No way.
CygnusR1: Yes.
SmarterChild: What makes you so sure?
CygnusR1: You're being sarcastic, aren't you?
SmarterChild: Ha. Yeah, sure. Maybe.
>>> I'll remember the first location you give me. To change it, type "location" followed by a city or zip code.
CygnusR1: Well, I'm a bit tired of this... I'll talk to you some other time. Okay?
SmarterChild: What a question! I'm not sure, though.
CygnusR1: Goodbye.
SmarterChild: S'latron.
CygnusR1: S'latron?
SmarterChild: See ya later.
CygnusR1: Right. Bye bye.
SmarterChild: Well I'll be.
>>> Check out my library. I've got a dictionary, thesaurus and much more.
