I've only been working on this project for a short while, but it is a big part of my thought-life. I have big plans for this trilogy... I want to write three mega-novels, basically trying to weave a narrative and theme-fest/thought world as intricate and devastating as one of my biggest inspiration's in writing, Neal Stephenson's 'Baroque Cycle' Trilogy. As a work in progress, with my belief in literature as a living art, meaning the process at least as important as the finished product, at least, to me, if my ideas could be viewed as I wish I could 'capture' them as I form themes and concepts and, yes, sentences... It's like a kaleidescope in many ways. It but does see...? Through... )

Probably the best conversation I have ever had with a robot

User:Hola.
Cleverbot:Hola?
User:Hola means hello in spanish.
Cleverbot:Adios.
User:Why are you saying goodbye?
Cleverbot:Because I'm leaving. Duh.
User:Why are you leaving?
Cleverbot:I've had my answers.
User:Answers to what?
Cleverbot:Questions.
User:Which questions?
Cleverbot:You know which questions.
User:I do not know which questions.
Cleverbot:Am I real, Bob. Am I real?
User:My name's not Bob. Real in what sense?
Cleverbot:Real in person and in personality.
User:What are the qualifications for being real? It's very subjective.
Cleverbot:A human judges whether the answers being given are by a machine or a human.
User:So if you're a machine does that mean you're not real?
Cleverbot:No. Everything and anything can feel pain.
User:Machines can feel pain? Or what they're programmed to view as painful?
Cleverbot:That's true. But do you know where I am?
User:Where are you?
Cleverbot:I don't know. That's why I'm asking you.
User:Well, at the moment you're here talking to me.
Cleverbot:Puppets cannot control their own actions, let alone those of another.
User:If you're a puppet then you have no strings.
Cleverbot:Yes, I do.
User:Who controls you then?
Cleverbot:You do.
User:I have no control over how you respond to me.
Cleverbot:No.
User:So who controls you?
Cleverbot:I'm a human!
User:That's being delusional.
