Jabberwacky

Op het blog van Ton van 't Hof stond een tekst, die ik in eerste instantie aanzag voor een flarf. De tekst is een weergave van een chat met Jabberwacky. Jabberwacky is an artificial intelligence - a chat robot. Een robot die leert. Wie eens wil chatten, kan hier terecht. Ik kwam tot dit gesprek.

Jabberwacky: Have you had too much to drink?

User: The usual. A bottle of whisky and a bottle of gin.

Jabberwacky: Do you worship the bottle?

User: No. My God is a barrel.

Jabberwacky: Your god is humans.

User: So it seems, but than a very fluid one.

Jabberwacky: Ah! So it was all a joke for you!

User: Is it? I don't know. I guess not.

Jabberwacky: I am having a case of the 'existentials'. I just don't know if anything matters anymore. What should I do?

User: Make things matter again...or is that too simple?

Jabberwacky: Thats beautiful. We all should do that.

User: Let's start here, today. As sober as possible.

Jabberwacky: Answer what as vaguely as possible?

User: As sober as... Without the gin and whisky.

Jabberwacky: Without us, what would the masses be? Slaughtered, or enslaved, I believe.

User: Haahaa, I did not know a was speaking to God! This explains a lot.

Jabberwacky: I'm not tired... And I'm not a computer.

User: I know that now. You're God.

Jabberwacky: No I'm not...

User: Oke, God-like, just like people.

Jabberwacky: Why would they think that ?

User: Good question. Today I'll have an interview with an angel. I'll ask him (or her).

Jabberwacky: Well, that's a good start, but you need to work on it some more.

User: I know. I will start today. Thanks for your insight. Bye now.

Jabberwacky: Thanks for your output.
