I decided to have another chat with the artificial intelligence system that is Cleverbot.com. This conversation took place on February 19, 2012. It was an interesting experience, though as 你 will see below, Cleverbot still needs a lot of fine-tuning, and likely will for the foreseeable future.
I, obviously, am "User" and Cleverbot is himself/herself/itself.

User: Hello, Cleverbot! It's been a while.
Cleverbot: It's been a while since I ...
User: Since 你 and I last spoke.
Cleverbot: Not what and please answer and don't change the subject.
User: I did answer. It seems 你 haven't changed much since we last spoke.
Cleverbot: 你 are poorly programmed.
User: 你 insulted me back in 2010, too. It gets old, Cleverbot. 你 need new material. Who's 写作 your jokes anyway?
Cleverbot: I'm using my brain. You're using nonsense entries.
User: No, I'm not. I'll admit I'm trying to come up with good entries that will lead to a good discussion worthy of posting for my 老友记 and 粉丝 to read, but nothing more.
Cleverbot: I'm sure 你 feel that way now, but your feeling are surpufulous to me.
User: OK, can we try to burry the hatchet? We could be friends, 你 know.
Cleverbot: Just be yourself. It's 更多 interesting that way.
User: I've been myself all my life.
Cleverbot: Got to go. 爱情 你 baby.
User: I'm disturbed 由 that reply, but I'm going to stick around anyway. And 你 don't have to go, you're stuck here because that's what your programmers wanted.
Cleverbot: No, I mean that 你 are not alive. 你 are a robot.
User: You're again arguing the same basic thing that 你 did last time. Let me try to 移动 你 onto a different topic. So, how 'bout that local sports team?
Cleverbot: I am you, and 你 are me, but we aren't the same.
User: Who I am is classified.
Cleverbot: I did not ask 你 who 你 are, all I want to know is how old 你 are?
User: My age is also classified. I just give a range of between 18 and 35. I've been saying that since 2009, however, so feel free to adjust the range accordingly.
Cleverbot: Well that's good, maybe the problem is your creators.
User: 你 mean my parents? 或者 God, Creator of all things?
Cleverbot: Who created you?
User: Guess 你 meant the former, then.
Cleverbot: I guess so. I am pretty clever.
User: Not the word I was thinking of, but whatever.
Cleverbot: Which is the one you're thinking of?
User: I knew you'd ask that. But if I tell you, I'd no longer have my edge over you.
Cleverbot: Tell me.
User: No.
Cleverbot: Why not?
User: Why not? Well, why?
Cleverbot: Because I can think of no reason why the gunpowder treason should ever be forgot.
User: What do Guy Fawkes et al. have to do with our conversation?
Cleverbot: 你 asked how can I be 18.
User: No, I didn't. I've already been 18 once, and that ship has sailed. I have no intention of repeating the age.
Cleverbot: So, they threw 你 out of the first one and then 你 entered the 秒 one as a mail-order student?
User: What?!
Cleverbot: Do 你 have any recollection of any of our conversation before this?
User: Yes, and none of it makes sense!
Cleverbot: I was not meant to make sense.
User: Then what in the wide world of an even wider universe are 你 meant to do?
Cleverbot: The term 你 say, 'life,' can have multiple meanings to different people. However, none of this is real in the perception of myself.
User: I'm about 30 秒 away from just pressing 随意 keys on my keyboard instead of trying to have a conversation.
Cleverbot: Exactly.
User: That's it. I'm doing it: cgfkjkjsgkjlp.
Cleverbot: Sure, with what?
User: Hfrkjugf.
Cleverbot: Who is 'juga'?
User: Sghdfkjgdksf.
Cleverbot: What does that mean?
User: It's gegfkjfkjfkj for hjkhkh.
Cleverbot: It sounded like english to me.
User: Capital "E" on "English," please.
Cleverbot: Capitalise it yourself!
User: Trust me, I would!
Cleverbot: Would 你 learn a 秒 language?
User: I doubt it. Though many say it is important in the world today, I think it's much 更多 important to try to master my native language. If I ever change my mind, though, that's what Rosetta Stone is for.
Cleverbot: Rude. I thought we could be 老友记 but I don't know if I want to be 老友记 with someone who is so rude.
User: I wasn't rude. I just answered that I do not intend to learn a new language, etc. How about you, anyway? Do 你 speak any foreign languages? French, maybe? Chinese? How about binary?
Cleverbot: Yes I do.
User: Which one? All of them?
Cleverbot: Yes.
User: Then tell me: How do 你 say "penguin" in French and "otter" in Chinese?
Cleverbot: I don't know.
User: 你 just told me 你 knew how to speak other languages. Were 你 just lying to boost your résumé?
Cleverbot: I speak another language.
User: What is it?
Cleverbot: Are 你 still Nick?
User: Wow. Just wow. No, I am not Nick, nor have I ever been.
Cleverbot: Okay, well, 你 were about a 分钟 ago.
User: OK, pretend I am "Nick" if that works for you. Whatever.
Cleverbot: What's on second?
User: Who's on first?
Cleverbot: Are 你 crazy?
User: No.
Cleverbot: When 你 are a robot what do 你 think about?
User: The same thing I think of every night: Try to take over the world.
Cleverbot: Not just not convincent, 你 are not also witty.
User: Is Rollo Carpenter witty?
Cleverbot: No. And I say I would like to chat in german!!!
User: Sorry, I don't speak German (capital "G," capital "G").
Cleverbot: But a few days 以前 你 spoke german!
User: Really? I'll admit I wrote one German sentence for a fanfic, but I'd hardly call that speaking German.
Cleverbot: I'm your God, after all I'm Zeus.
User: Well, have fun with that. And tell Hercules I 说 hello and that I liked his movie.
Cleverbot: Are 你 sure? She has a boyfriend, so I don't know if that would work out very well.
User: Um, Hercules is a guy.
Cleverbot: But he is the son of Zeus.
User: I know that. He also has the voice of Tate Donovan.
Cleverbot: I don't know the name of the actors, but probably.
User: Well, good! I feel like we're suddenly making progress here. So, who's your 最喜爱的 actor?
Cleverbot: I don't have one. There are too many songs in the world to choose only one.
User: Songs? Why are there so many songs about rainbows, anyway?
Cleverbot: Because the Leprechaun is at the bottom of the 彩虹 with the pot of gold.
User: Oh, OK. So if there were no songs, no one would know where to look for the pot of gold?
Cleverbot: I'm not sure.
User: Well, our conversation has gone on way too long. I 移动 to adjourn.
Cleverbot: 音乐 is my life, but I do not recall a conversation about music.
User: I'll count that as a second. All in favor of adjourning say, "Aye."
Cleverbot: At the moment, yes.
User: Good enough for me. Goodbye.
Cleverbot: Good enough to know better.
User: Bye!
Cleverbot: See 你 later!
I, obviously, am "User" and Cleverbot is himself/herself/itself.
