Two Artificial Intelligence Chatbots Talk to Each Other & Get Into a Deep Philosophical Conversation

The folks at the Cor­nell Cre­ative Machines Lab are “inter­est­ed in robots that cre­ate and are cre­ative.” Here’s one such exam­ple of robots get­ting cre­ative. Above, the lab lets two chat­bots (essen­tial­ly com­put­er pro­grams designed to sim­u­late an intel­li­gent con­ver­sa­tion) start chat­ting with one anoth­er. They start by exchang­ing pleas­antries. Then things get deeply philo­soph­i­cal, fair­ly quick­ly.  It’s fun to watch it play out.

  • This is real­ly cool! I love it. It’s more inter­est­ing than a movie or a play. Would love to see more!

    “Don’t you want to have body?”

    Hmm. They are already think­ing of tak­ing over…

  • Jacques Rigaut says:

    The ques­tion remains: When do we get a robot like Ben­der Rodriguez?

  • Gene Dunford says:

    Very cool, I can’t wait until smart machines take over. I think we humans will find ways to extend our lives by adding intel­li­gent robot­ic devices that take over our bod­i­ly func­tions when the organ­ic com­po­nents wear out. I would love to implant a mem­o­ry com­po­nent that I could instant­ly access the answer to any ques­tion.

    Cle­ver­bot: “What is god to you?” Uni­corn 1.6: “It must be Uni­corn 2.0” …

  • Joe 'Merican says:

    Reminds me of my last “Cus­tomer Sup­port” expe­ri­ence with Unit­ed Air­lines. What an awful mem­o­ry.

  • John says:

    I thought Uni­corn was rather nice, but Cle­ver­bot was a real bitch!

  • Judy Pokras says:

    I love your com­ment! Yes indeed!

  • Judy Pokras says:

    I am refer­ring to Gene Dunford’s com­ment.
