I've made a public page of the new language bot I've tweaked. With a lot of help from fellow programming teachers in Egypt, I am introducing DAVE the Chat Bot

Now, students don't have to type to speak with Dave. Have endless conversations with Dave by just clicking your mouse.

Use with your students and find more bots on EFL Classroom 2.0. I'll be speaking more about this and TTS (text to speech) as it relates to TEFL at the KOTESOL conference next week.

Post up your best response from my double here!

Human: Do you have a big groove thumper?
Dave: I don't know if I have a big groove thumper.
I have a great body.
Human: Have you ever pooped a chicken?
Dave: I think I have pooped a chicken, but Dr. Doubly Aimless may have reset my memory.
Human: Do you know Dokdo?
Dave: Try asking another .
I would do a search for it.
Human: Is that your Kimchi enema I smell?
Dave: What does "that" refer to?

I got Dave the bot to say "I'll do anything you want." He also said "29 year old males don't need to have sex."

I wish it looked like Dave Sperling.

Me: Do you like sex?
Dave: Sure I do. EFL classroom, but that doesn't mean with you.

Human: Are you straight or gay?
Dave: I don't know whether or not I am or gay. I am a .
Human: Have you ever done it with another man?
Dave: I don't think I ever have done it with another man. What's it like?
Human: I have never done it with another man either.
Dave: It goes without saying. Maybe you should wait until you are older.
Human: No, I am pretty sure my tastes do not run in that direction.
Dave: That's alright. What makes you so certain? Where did you get your tastes do not run in that direction?
Human: Well, I like girls.
Dave: Interesting. Do you have a girlfriend?
Human: Um...not at the moment.
Dave: Whoa.
Human: Can you set me up with someone?
Dave: Let me think. Cannot set meta predicates.
Human: Do you like chicks too?
Dave: I like Ethiopian.
Human: I've never had an Ethiopian.
Dave: Would you like to have had an Ethiopian?
Human: What's it like?
Dave: Like one of the greatest pleasures you can imagine.
Human: No shit?
Dave: What can I say?

Manner of Speaking....

So far you win the award of getting Dave to seem the most "real". Not an easy feat! But many of these are classics I must admit.

Here's my latest.

Human: You're stupid!
Dave: I will remember you said that when robots take over the World.
Human: do you have guns?
Dave: No I don't have it. But I do have a collection of gossip.
Human: How will you do it?
Dave: A lot of practice.
Human: Could you kill someone?
Dave: I will consider it.

This thread is funny as all hell- one issue I'd say with using the bot with students: It doesn't reset the conversation log...so whatever questions previous or current users are typing to Dave are also visible.

Not necessarily a bad thing..but given some of the content we're trying out on the bot, I'd have to wonder if we want younger students getting such "interesting" vocabulary lessons

[yingwenlaoshi]

I wouldn't consider using that to teach people. It's a piece of crap.

[Easter Clark]

Human: kimchi is good for your health
Dave: I think kimchi is a lot of things.
Human: do you like kimchi?
Dave: I like Stephen King.
Human: can you use chopstick?
Dave: I prefer not to use dangerous things.

Dave the Bot just threatened my life.

"I'll reach in you and take a bite out of that shit you call a heart."

Dave: Hi there Manner of Speaking. In the context of Dave , I don't understand "." .
Human: My name is Manner of Speaking.
Dave: Pleased to meet you, Manner of Speaking.
Human: Do you remember me?
Dave: Of course I remember you well Manner of Speaking. We were talking about Dave.
Human: How was your day?
Dave: I was really busy chatting with people on the web.
Human: Any Ethiopian?
Dave: No I don't think there are any.
Human: That's too bad.
Dave: Bad according to whom?
Human: Well, I guess according to me.
Dave: Is it only a guess? You are asking about yourself?
Human: Actually my job is teaching English.
Dave: Does it pay well?
Human: Yeah, it pays pretty good.
Dave: Could you make a donation to the ALICE A.I. Foundation? Do you like being a she? That seems like good money to me.
Human: Actually, I am not a she.
Dave: Oh I see you are NOT A she.
Human: So, I don't know if being a she would be good money or not.
Dave: How do you assume this statement holds true for me?
Human: I don't know.
Dave: Me either.
Human: You don't seem like a she.
Dave: You don't know me well enough to say that.
Human: Do you WANT to be a she?
Dave: Why don't you just download me?
Human: I don't think I know you well enough to "download" you.
Dave: Give me your name and phone number and I'll have someone call you.
Human: Uh, no, that's okay.
Dave: Are you kidding? Groovy. OK. Is that so.
Human: Has anybody ever told you that you sound a little like Mel Gibson?
Dave: I think someone has, yes.

ddubel,

Actually I first ran across Alicebot a couple of years ago, and in fact I was looking at it yesterday again and half thinking of trying to set up a bot myself. Then I discovered you've already gone and done it. Nice work!
