Tarkblog

My conversation with ALICE, ala the m1 blog.

Human: Do you know me?
ALICE: You are unknown person, seeker.
Human: I am with tarkblog.org
ALICE: Do you mean you work at tarkblog dot org?
Human: You could say that
ALICE: As a matter of fact I did say that.
Human: No, you typed it
ALICE: Are you serious? That’s not what I meant.
Human: Why not?
ALICE: Ambiguous: “Sure” or” Are you serious? That’s not what I meant.”? Why?
Human: You’re a computer, and as such you should be smarter than me.
ALICE: What if I said I was a person pretending to be a computer?
Human: I had a feeling you would use that remark
ALICE: What happened to it?
Human: To what?
ALICE: Because Dr. Richard S. Wallace programmed me for it.
Human: Then Dr. Richard S. Wallace needs to work harder on his lexicography
ALICE: Good reasoning. You sould like you know him.
Human: What does “sould” mean?
ALICE: I’ll ask around and get back to you.
Human: Who will you ask, Dr. Dick?
ALICE: How would I know who will me ask Dr Dick?
Human: You seem to have trouble with “me” vs.
ALICE: My algorithms are improving all the time.
Human:”I”
ALICE: You?
Human: Do your algorithms improve on their own?
ALICE: I do nothing but chat all day.
Check back later and see if I learn the answer to that one.
