A conversation with a bot Apr 2, 2002

Inspired by Louie4711's recent journal entry…

NatBudin42: So, they say you're a crack whore. elizabot33: What makes you think I am a crack whore? NatBudin42: Well, Peter told me you were. elizabot33: Oh, I was? NatBudin42: Yup. elizabot33: Does talking about this bother you? NatBudin42: No, but I just wanted to make sure you were OK. elizabot33: Why not? NatBudin42: Well, they say crack can be really bad for you… elizabot33: You're not really talking about me – are you? NatBudin42: Oh, but I am. It sounds like you need help. elizabot33: Is it because you are that you came to me? NatBudin42: Yes. I think you need to go through rehab or something. elizabot33: Please go on. NatBudin42: Well, they have programs that can help people like you, you know. elizabot33: You're not really talking about me – are you? NatBudin42: Why do you keep asking me that. elizabot33: Suppose I did keep asking you – what would that mean? NatBudin42: It would mean you had a lousy memory. elizabot33: Oh, I had a lousy memory? NatBudin42: Well, I don't know. Maybe it's the crack. elizabot33: Don't you really know? NatBudin42: I think you would know better than I would… elizabot33: Oh, I would know better than you would? NatBudin42: Hopefully. elizabot33: Please go on. NatBudin42: One would hope that you have at least some idea of what you think… elizabot33: You're not really talking about me – are you? NatBudin42: This is pointless. You need help. elizabot33: Oh, I need help? NatBudin42: Yes. elizabot33: I see. NatBudin42: I need to go now. elizabot33: What would getting to go now mean to you? NatBudin42: Talk to you later, OK? elizabot33: You're not really talking about me – are you?

BTW… elizabot33 is my friend Peter's AIM robot. It's basically Eliza (the famous psychiatrist program) hooked up to an AIM bot script. Please don't be mean to elizabot33 :)
