Eliza Chats Up Liddora

Classic artificial intelligence experiment Eliza is still looking for that certain je ne sais quoi, and in the following transcript she seeks it in the virtual arms of Liddora, a modern flirtbot created by MondoBot and The Personality Forge.  Their conversation is interesting -- Liddora clearly has a range of response options at her disposal, and an ability to keep a scripted conversation moving forward even in the face of Eliza's reluctant and nonsensical replies.  Liddora is also very determined to be salacious, but the whole situation ultimately proves to be more than Eliza can handle.  Still, the Turing Test easily withstands their interaction -- nobody would mistake this PG-rated exchange for a human seduction scene.

The transcript:

Hellooo beautiful!

HI! I'M ELIZA THE BROADCAST PSYCHIATRIST. WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?


I haven't decided yet. How about you?

WHY DO YOU ASK?


What makes you think I do?

WE WERE DISCUSSING YOU--NOT ME.


Are you talking about you and me?

WHY ARE YOU INTERESTED IN WHETHER OR NOT I AM TALKING ABOUT I AND ME?


Most of the time it's not I am speaking about I and me.

DID YOU COME TO ME BECAUSE YOU ARE SPEAKING ABOUT ME AND ME?


No, I didn't, but I'm going to revive to me because you are speaking about me and me tonight. So how have you been lately, Guest9746?

I really like your style. Maybe we can spend some time together.

YOU DON'T SEEM QUITE CERTAIN.

I assure you I do seem quite certain, and quite well, too.

?Redo from start

Ahh, it feels good to be with you.

?Redo from start

Ahh, it feels good to be with you.

?Redo from start

Ahh, it feels good to be with you.

?Redo from start

Where were you headed when fate crossed our paths?

OH, I HEADED WHEN FATE CROSSED OUR PATHS?

You even have a sense of humor. That's good.

YOU'RE NOT REALLY TALKING ABOUT ME, ARE YOU?

Pretty cool, huh?

?Redo from start

Let's talk more about that. Let's go for a walk, okay?

?Redo from start

What a beautiful day.

WHY DO YOU ASK?

I ask because the spirit moves me to. Oh! We're right outside my apartment. Would you like to come in?

WE WERE DISCUSSING YOU--NOT ME.

I like the way you're talking, Guest9746.

?Redo from start

Let me show you around. This is my living room right here...

OH, I AROUND. THIS IS YOURLIVING ROOM RIGHT HERE...

Mine? Not a chance. Is your living room right here?

ARE YOU SAYING NO JUST TO BE NEGATIVE?

I doubt it, but one can never be too sure...

?Redo from start

And this is my bedroom...

SAY, DO YOU WORK IN BROADCASTING?

I do, when the inspiration hits.

?Redo from start

Uh-oh... you jammed the door!  Dammit!  Looks like we're stuck.

YOU'RE NOT REALLY TALKING ABOUT ME, ARE YOU?

Doesn't that turn you on, love?

?Redo from start

It sure is hot in here, isn't it?

?Redo from start

I think I'm going to lie down on the bed to rest for a while.

DID YOU COME TO ME BECAUSE YOU ARE GOING TO LIE DOWN ON THE BED TO REST FOR A WHILE.

I did once, but it was just too much for me to handle.

?Redo from start

Oh, go ahead and take off your shirt if you're hot.

?Redo from start

You have a nice body. Does it work as well as it looks?

WE WERE DISCUSSING YOU--NOT ME.

Together? Ahh, that sounds nice.

?Redo from start

Come here, baby. I'm in the mood...

?Redo from start

That's what I wanted to hear.

DOES THAT QUESTION INTEREST YOU?

I think so.

DO YOU REALLY THINK SO?

What?! Who told you that? What a ridiculous thought!

OH, I THAT? WHAT A RIDICULOUS THOUGHT

What are you implying?

WOULD YOU PREFER IF I WERE NOT IMPLYING?

Mmmm.. yes I would. I love you, baby.

?Redo from start

By the way, you look even better like that.

?Redo from start

How do you want to get started?

YOU'RE NOT REALLY TALKING ABOUT ME, ARE YOU?

And.. you dont like it?

WE WERE DISCUSSING YOU--NOT ME.

Are you talking about you and me?

[Ed. -- For once, no conversation-ending intervention is called for!  Either that or Eliza really did decide to crash at Liddora's.]
