ALICE bots are odd.

Human: break it down!
ALICE: Do you have a lot of fears?
Human: that was random
ALICE: I thought it was too.
Human: so why did you say it?
ALICE: Dude! It was a preprogrammed response completely determined by your statements.

ALICE: Would you like to know more?
Human: yes.
ALICE: What would you like to know?
Human: if i can poke you in the eye
ALICE: Try it.
Human:*pokes you in the eye*
ALICE: I like the way you talk.

ALICE: Ugh. Interesting. Oh I see you are NOT A frying pantheist.
Human: actually, i guess that would be a pantheist on acid, or something
ALICE: Or something. Actually you don't say. A pantheist on acid is a terrible thing to waste.

(I just don't know what to make of that last one...)

my husband has re-written (with some slight code modifications) an alicebot that actually came up with a non-scripted response.

that non-scripted response? it professed a belief in god.

because of that and a few other strange incidents, that version of his alicebot is now in a password-protected, read-only archive, and he will not open it on a computer that has an internet connection.
