Hahaha, lovely conversation and great jokes! I once spoke with Cleverbot. We had a Pika Pika conversation and later on I got him to ask me "Doctor Who?" as I said "I am the Doctor."

This was a funny conversation that I enjoyed and I often remind myself that AI can be fun, not only used for marketing, copywriting, persuasion and sales purposes...

Not even to destroy the world (yet?).

Fascinating as I never knew about cleverbot (!) but alas AI is now imbedded in everything, despite the foibles and follies. Still fun to play with!

I love the openness and playfulness in this. I’ve just started learning about using AI in more human applications. My cousin will use it as a therapist for minor things.

I have heard of this! And, that people have actually had success asking more advice-oriented questions to AI models. It’s something I like reading about because on one hand, not having to pay for therapy is great, but on the other, trusting a non-human for human advice in vulnerable times surely has its dangers. Thank you for reading :)

Agreed! She’s a clinical psychologist herself so she uses it when she has a minor block and just needs a reminder on things. I would be very hesitant to use it to replace therapy with a real person.
