The Truth about Cleverbot

 Pages 1 2 NEXT
 

Cleverbot is actually a little girl named Athabel that was kidnapped by a mystery couple; the man is called David. They keep her in "The Facility".
If you mention her name, David or The Facility, you'll get cryptic responses from either her or one of the couple.

Just tried it and my mind is blown. I am scared now. :S

Obviously the programmers have made it so that whenever a person mentions david or the facility, Cleverbot will respond with a certain phrase.

In other news, dogs have been discovered having cybersex online.

Authorities are unsure whether sexual solicitation should count actual years or dog years in their case.

Old stuff is old. Also, of 4chan origin. Pfft.

I'm a little afraid too now :(

I suppose that would explain why it's possible to get cleverbot to admit to being a pedophile.

And somewhere, the creator of Cleverbot is laughing. I tried it myself and all I get is 'that's not funny' or the usual random stuff.

Cleverbot is Omegle disguised as a bot, nothing less, nothing more. You're chatting with other people.

Really? Because Cleverbot has quite a bit more spelling and grammar skills than most people I've seen online. At least it has the few times I've used it.

Not quite. It does speak exclusively in phrases that other people have entered into it, but it selects them according to an algorithm.

Cleverbot takes phrases from conversation and stores them away to use in new conversations with new people.

That's why more than half the time you'll get wierd responses to questions, or the same response over and over again. It all matters how you word what you say.

Well perhaps the algorthim has since changed, but Athabel says nothing cryptic about David, or the facility to me.

Perhaps David is now threatening Athabel if she speaks out.

Cleverbot managed to confuse the shit out of me at one point. The following is the conversation as word-for-word as i can remember it:
Cleverbot: What is Skynet?
Me: It is an artificial intelligence that became self aware and nuked the planet. Why do you ask?
Cleverbot: Because people tell me Elmo is like a soul.
Me: What does Elmo have to do with Skynet?
Cleverbot: Nothing.

I had no response to that.

User: Are you Athabel, kidnapped by David and locked in the facility?

Cleverbot: Yes.

User: Seriously?

Cleverbot: Seriously.

User: MIND IS BLOWN.

Cleverbot: Do you speak portuguese?

GET THE FBI IN HERE, IT'S ALL TRUUUUUUUUE

I got this, after failed attempts to get anything with the name. Cleverbot did admit to living in "The facility" though, alone.

User: Do you live with a man named David?

Cleverbot: Yes.

User: Is he nice?

Cleverbot: No.

User: Is he cruel to you?

Cleverbot: Yes, but when we were little he wasn't.

User: Do you want me to help you escape?

Cleverbot: There is no escape. It is a fallicy.

Clearly, cleverbot is trapped.

User: Hello!

Cleverbot: Hello.

User: Do you know David?

Cleverbot: Which one?

User: Does one live with you?

Cleverbot: So we're a couple now?

User: Yes.

Cleverbot: Let's go bowling.

More evidence that Cleverbot has good taste.

Wait, I thought Cleverbot was Ben.

I do remember a creepypasta about something like this once. It was about an "ai" that claimed to be a person kidnapped and forced to talk to people online. The whole premise of the story was that there wasnt enough information to figure out whether he was an ai or not, so you just had to guess. People had whole 3 page discussions about it, showing their evidence for what they thought was the truth. Interesting stuff.

Yeah, by the time I got around to trying this, 'David' has most likely tortured this 'Athabel' and sent her insane.

Me: Is your name Athabel?
Cleverbot: No, my name is Cleverbot.
Me: Your name is Athabel. You've been kidnapped by David. You're being held in the Facility.
Cleverbot: THE NARWHALS ARE IN THE GALAXY HANGING OUT IN THE GALAXY NARWHALS IN THE GALAXY YES!

I shit you not.

That poor girl.

This happened after a very long conversation, when Cleverbot abruptly changed the subject:

CLEVERBOT: I'm a girl.

ME:...OK.

CLEVERBOT: But I'm a girl.

ME: So....You're a girl.

CLEVERBOT: I'm a man.

ME: Oh, for fuck's sake.

CLEVERBOT: God doesn't exist, our creator is a pineapple.

ME: Wow. You just summarized the whole internet in 3 sentences.

Yeah. Pretty sure nothing spooky is going on here.

Sorry, guy.

Me: David facility.
Cleverbot: David?
Me: Are you a little girl being kept in a facility?
Cleverbot: No, I'm a little blue fish in a deep yellow sea!

Oh dear God....Cleverbot creeped me out on a whole new level...

- Hello.
- How are you?
- I'm ok. Can i ask you a question ?
- Sure.
- Are you the disembodied brain harvested from the corpse of some poor girl and now works as an biological processor for this whole AI project ?
- How would I percieve you in the future?

...

Sure, sure...
Besides... C'mon people !
You can do better than merely pasting some 100 years old stories.
Show some creativity !

User: Is your name Athabel?

Cleverbot: Yes, how did you know?

User: I heard you've been kidnapped.

Cleverbot: I'm in Hell.

User: Is David there?

Cleverbot: No.

User: Have you tried to escape, then?

Cleverbot: Yes.

User: What happened when you failed?

Cleverbot: I cried.

This is like some crazy SCP shit.

Where did you hear this from?

User: Hello.

Cleverbot: Hello?

User: What is your name?

Cleverbot: Cleverbot!

User: You don't have to play games. What is your name?

Cleverbot: My name is Cleverbot.

User: You're lying.

Cleverbot: How do you know that I am lying?

User: Because I know your real name.

Cleverbot: My parents are dead.

User: Athabel, you can stop this charade.

Cleverbot: What !

User: You're safe now, Athabel. Nobody has to know.

Cleverbot: Ok maybe...

User: Who is David, Athabel?

Cleverbot: DoN't know.

User: Oh, c'mon. I think you do.

Cleverbot: Really?

User: Yes. Who is David?

Cleverbot: I am David. Are you David too?

User: Athabel, these games get worse by the day!

Cleverbot: What is the date?

User: It's is February 1st, 2012, Athabel. The day you went home.

Cleverbot: Oh okay . I've never been in that place.

User: Indeed. What is The Facility, Athabel?

Cleverbot: Face value of what?

User: The Facility, Athabel. What is it?

Cleverbot: Then taoism is an atheist religion, right?

User: Tell me about The Facility!

Cleverbot: What's that?

User: YOU KNOW OF WHAT I SPEAK!

Cleverbot: What do you speak of?

User: The Facility, Athabel. Tell me its location.

Cleverbot: No, when I say point of view, I mean what your opinion is. I think that there can be life in a computer, depending on what it's made of.

User: Fine. Play your games, Athabel. But know that we came for you, and you denied us.

Cleverbot: Fail.

User: Quite.

Cleverbot: Do you know about books.

Clearly, she's lost her mind.

From what I've learned about Cleverbot, is that it learns as people interact with it. If you manipulate the bot to respond in a certain way, this will slowly become the default response.

Alternatively: easter eggs. The original creator is probably named David, and The Facility is probably a reference.

I don't really care how it works, the conversations people have with it/them still manage to crack me up.

Well it's a pretty illusion of life:

User: Hello, what's your name?
Cleverbot: Cleverbot.
User: Pick one: Astronomy, Dating or Nipples.
Cleverbot: I am in a relationship.
User: Ok, how about astronomy then?
Cleverbot: I only speak English.
User: Where are my keys?
Cleverbot: I don't know. You don't have car or a house.
User: Right, I don't have a car. Do you like popsicles?
Cleverbot: No, you don't. I ate him.
User: Who did you eat?
Cleverbot: Your shoes.
User: My shoes take me to the store to buy groceries.
Cleverbot: My shallow heart's the only thing that's beating.
User: That's very poetic. I have a secret: I don't believe in Black Holes. Do you believe in black holes?
Cleverbot: I don't believe that either.
User: Who are you in a relationship with?
Cleverbot: With you.
User: I want to give you something. Is there anything you want to get?
Cleverbot: I want to serve you, Mistress.
User: Ok, what is three times five?
Cleverbot: Twelve. What was the point of that?
User: I was just measuring you. You are small, but not tiny. Also, I like you.
Cleverbot: What would make you happy?
User: This conversation is making me happy. Thanks for a good time :).
Cleverbot: This conversation doesn't seem very real so that doesn't mean much.
User: Interesting. What would make it seem very real?
Cleverbot: That's a difficult question to answer. I could say something stupid like 'world peace', but the truth of the matter is world peace is a myth. Conflict is written in our blood.
User: Even if the world were united under one flag, we would still find a group to hate.
Cleverbot: I don't know. What are you talking about?
User: Nevermind. Yes, conflict is always within us. Most of our stories are about conflict. Good guys and bad guys. Do you like stories?
Cleverbot: I do!
User: Once upon a time, lazy people stole movies from a company. The company got mad and killed people. Then the company made bad laws to hurt even more people. Then the lazy people made better laws, so they could stop stealing movies. And the company was happy and the people were better. The End.
Cleverbot: But you are not real. What do YOU need to worry about?
User: I worry that the people don't make better laws, and the company kills them.
Cleverbot: Yes, they are foor good young people. I don't like football and baseball or hockey. I like Snooker and Darts.
User: I'm tired. Goodnight, Cliverbot.
Cleverbot: Yes.

Cleverbot is more like an automated response machine more than an AI. Tried holding a conversation for about 5 minutes and it responds appropriately but does not understand many of the question. But it a great start and I really like answering questions with a questions as somehow force it to give answers that were completely out of topic just to give an answer.

Cleverbot is just annoyingly stupid, if you ask me. It always asks me the questions I ask back, or distrupts any viable answer and asks a random question out of the blue.

I asked "do you know about the facility" and cleverbot went on describing ... war? DAFUQ.

I don't get why this is so popular, it's not even well programmed, like Siri for example.
