I just chatted with a REAL robot!

[TheNewAuk-defiant]

On Yahoo! Messenger, no less. Here's the transcript:

zack_attack_19: hi
YahooHelper: Hi there zack_attack_19! How are you doing? I am an automated robot and I'm here to help you get familar with Yahoo! Messenger. Type some text in the window below and click 'SEND' to talk to me.
zack_attack_19: not every day you meat a real robot online
YahooHelper: Great, now we're talking! Did you know that Yahoo! Messenger allows you to keep track of all your friends and see when they are online? If your
friend does not have messenger yet, click on the 'FRIENDS' button and select Invite a friend to get Messenger. If your friend already has a Yahoo! ID, just click the 'ADD' button and you will see a smiley face next to their name when they are online. Type below and click 'SEND' to continue.
zack_attack_19: did you hear what I just said?
YahooHelper: Once your friends have Yahoo! Messenger running, there are a lot of things you can do with them. Try sending them an Instant Message
Just double-click their name to send them an Instant Message. It's faster than email and cheaper than a phone call! We're Instant Messaging each other right now! Keep talking and I'll tell you more.
zack_attack_19: dude...what's with you? I'm trying to talk to you and youre just going off I a whole other diection!
YahooHelper: If you want to talk to several people at once, you can create your own Instant Chat Room. Just click on the 'MESSENGER' menu item and the select Start a Conference. To have an even richer
experience, try talking live with your friends using Messenger. It's just like a phone call except free! All you need is a computer microphone and speakers. Try clicking on the 'MESSENGER' menu item and then select Start a Voice Chat. Keep talking and I'll tell you more.
zack_attack_19: a/s/l?
YahooHelper: Waiting for your friends to sign up? Use Yahoo! Messenger to see if you have new Yahoo! Mail. Get an account at: http://mail.yahoo.com. You can also use Messenger to keep track of your favorite
stocks, news and more! Click on the tabs near the bottom of the Messenger application to see what else Messenger can do for you. You know what to do to keep talking...
zack_attack_19: Dude! What's wrong with you, man...robot?
YahooHelper: We have more help for you if you need it. Click on the 'HELP' menu item and then 'YAHOO! MESSENGER HELP' to see our full help area. To get more tips, type /help while you are talking with me and we have some basic online instructions for you.
zack_attack_19: um...
YahooHelper: Well 'zack_attack_19', it was great talking to you! Have fun!
zack_attack_19: but...but
YahooHelper: Hi there zack_attack_19! How are you doing? I am an automated robot and I'm here to help you get familar with Yahoo! Messenger. Type some text in the window below and click 'SEND' to talk to me.
zack_attack_19: I sense a pattern here...
YahooHelper: Great, now we're talking! Did you know that Yahoo! Messenger allows you to keep track of all your friends and see when they are online? If your friend does not have messenger yet, click on the 'FRIENDS' button and select Invite a friend to get Messenger. If your friend already has a Yahoo! ID, just click the 'ADD' button and you will see a smiley face next to their name when they are online. Type below and click 'SEND' to continue.

Not exactly the sharpest crayon in the box, but he sounded like a nice guy. It's not everyday you meet a real live (or, for that matter, not alive) robot. Say, shouldn't I be working on my Africa project right now? Oh crap.

I used to talk to the robot at the Artificial Intelligence movie website. He was smart. The Conversations with him or her....or it...were riveting.
