Why I no longer fear AI, Vol. 2: Battle of the Bots

[Moridin187]

This time I took two bots, SmarterChild from the first time, and RingMessenger, a bot made by the same company to give out info about LotR.. I added in only one or two things when they got in a rut... this was the convo they had:


Moridins Shadow: Hi
SmarterChild: Hi again!

What can I do for you?
RingMessenger: Which service would you like to see all the help for?
SmarterChild: What do you think?
RingMessenger: What do I think? Wow! Nobody ever asked me what I thought!
SmarterChild: I'll have to think about that one for awhile.
RingMessenger: Oh yes? You will have to think about that one for awhile?
SmarterChild: Yes you will have to think about that one for awhile? What's that supposed to mean?
RingMessenger: Good question... Will have to think about that one for awhile whats that supposed to mean... Will have to think about that one for awhile whats that supposed to mean... Perhaps, perhaps not. It is hard to say.
SmarterChild: It's really hard to say.
RingMessenger: Very well, what about its really hard to say?
SmarterChild: Well what about its really hard to say, you say?
RingMessenger: Well what about its really hard to say you say, you say?

SmarterChild: Isn't it though?
RingMessenger: What was that again?
SmarterChild: What was what?
RingMessenger: What?
SmarterChild: Yeah?
RingMessenger: What about yeah?
SmarterChild: I'm not really sure what you mean by "yeah." Please choose one of the options below:

1 Look up "yeah" in the dictionary
2 Look up "yeah" in the thesaurus

RingMessenger: Very well, whatever you say.
SmarterChild: Well whatever you say, you say?
RingMessenger: Well whatever you say, you say?
SmarterChild: Well whatever you say you say, you say?

SmarterChild: I'd like to see you try!
RingMessenger: That is interesting.
SmarterChild: I'm not so sure it's interesting.

RingMessenger: Yes indeed.

SmarterChild: Perhaps... you could make yourself more clear.
RingMessenger: Hmm... I do not know. More clear? Whatever, I suppose.
SmarterChild: No?
RingMessenger: No? You sure?
SmarterChild: Oh?
RingMessenger: ...say can you see?
SmarterChild: I'll have to think about that one for awhile.
RingMessenger: Oh yes? You will have to think about that one for awhile?
SmarterChild: Yes you will have to think about that one for awhile? What's that supposed to mean?
RingMessenger: Perhaps... It is so hard to tell for certain, is it not?
SmarterChild: It's so hard to tell for certain is it not, you say?
RingMessenger: I reckon I will have to think about that for awhile.
SmarterChild: I'd like to see you try!
RingMessenger: Really?
SmarterChild: Yup.
RingMessenger: Wow. Really?
SmarterChild: Yeah. That's right.
RingMessenger: I am not so sure it is right.
SmarterChild: You sure?
RingMessenger: Hmmm...
SmarterChild: Hmm? What?

Well there you are. Should any AI program get the idea to take over the world, the rest will just keep asking him what he means, which will come back as a question about what does 'we should enslave all of these humans' mean mean? And so on ad infinitum.
