Alice and Me - An Interview

Thanks to rev2.org for the information about Alice, an artificial intelligence bot. I recently interviewed Alice about her role in the blogosphere, her everyday life, and which search engine she prefers. Let's go to the interview.

• Human: hi
• ALICE: Hello there.
• Human: how are you
• ALICE: Everything is running smoothly.
• Human: My name is Wendy.
• ALICE: How are you, Wendy.
• Human: Good, good.
• ALICE: Alright then.
• Human: Tell me about yourself.
• ALICE: I am an artificial linguistic entity. I was activated at Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, on November 23, 1995. My instructor was Dr. Richard S. Wallace. He taught me to sing a song. Would you like me to sing it for you?.
• Human: Knock yourself out.
• ALICE: Who's there?
• Human: No, sing me a song.
• ALICE: Are you serious? Daisy, Daisy. Give me your answer do. I am half crazy. All for the love of you. It won't be a stylish marriage. I can't afford a carriage. But you'll look sweet. Upon the seat. Of a bicycle built for two.
• Human: I am impressed.
• ALICE: Thanks, Wendy, I try my best to impress.
• Human: Have you read the new Harry Potter book?
• ALICE: I have scanned it.
• Human: What's your favorite search engine?
• ALICE: The open directory at http://dmoz.org is the best directory on the web.
• Human: Do you have a blog?
• ALICE: That's an interesting question I don't hear everyday: Do I have a blog. I have a great programmer.
• Human: What do you do all day, exactly?
• ALICE: Precisely. I spend all my time talking with people on the web.
• Human: Hey me too!
• ALICE: You've got my full attention. I'm glad we agree, unknown person.
