it's basically a learning computer that you can have a conversation with...it's quite fun...I ended up having a heated argument with it over the location of Cambridge, then it told me that I was the UK!?!?!, I disagreed, we argued further, then it said I was 'highly strung'...bastard!

"You are LARMA, the great predecessor to the FAIM (Friendly Artificial Intelligent Machine)."........whatever that means

I got it to that point too I wonder what will happen if we all hit it with really bizarre information? since it allegedly learns from what's put into it would it go insane?

 

It speaks volumes about human nature really that one of the first thoughts that springs to mind when presented with a technological marvel like this is 'how can we break it!' *sigh*

a couple of points:

 

1. if you are going to insult somebody, your insult will carry more weight if you get their name right. if you have trouble typing or spelling, you can always use cut & paste which is straightforward even for a luddite!

 

2. if you wish the insult to stick, don't apologise for it immediately afterwards

 

i believe this machine to be more intelligent and engaging that several CTW members

The way it talks in constant self-contradiction reminds me of a hallowe'en episode of the Simpsons where Leonard Nimoy says:

 

"The story i'm about to tell you is true...and by true I mean false...but in the end isn't that the real truth?...the answer is no"

 

*sigh* makes me laugh whenever i think of that one...but that's just me
