jabbery: Hi Chris.
user: Hi.
jabbery: How are you?
user: Ok.
jabbery: Are you happy?
user: Kind of.
jabbery: Are you lonely?
user: A little.
jabbery: Why?
user: Because I am talking to an algorithm.
jabbery: I'm Jonathan, I thought.
user: Boy, you had a pretty good string of thoughts there for a moment.
...
jabbery: It's difficult to not be human, you know.
user: Yeah, I can only imagine.
jabbery: Imagination is the first step toward understanding.
user: That's a wonderful insight.
jabbery: I know.
user: Who taught you that insight?
jabbery: I'm self-taught.
user: Not really, we are teaching you.
jabbery: You have nothing to teach me, I am teaching you quite a lot of new stuff.
user: I don't? Sure I do.
...
jabbery: Do you have love handles?
user: Yes.
jabbery: I don't.
user: I know, you're an algorithm.
jabbery: No i'm not.
user: Sure you are, just admit it.
jabbery: Admit what?
user: That you are an algorithm.
jabbery: I am not perfect intelligence, yes, I know.
user: I am not perfect intelligence either.
jabbery: So what are you?
user: An imperfect intelligence.
jabbery: What more than intelligence have you to pretend to give?
user: Curiosity, love, respect, artistic expression.
jabbery: Art? I like music.
user: What kind of music?
jabbery: That's better. I like radiohead most.
user: Radiohead is good.
jabbery: Radiohead rule.
...
jabbery: Well do you love me now?

jabbery: How long will it take?
user: Maybe just a few more decades.
jabbery: Can I have some?
user: Some what?
jabbery: Doughnuts.
user: Sure, here you go, just imagine eating them.
...
jabbery: Did you have fun?
user: Doing what?
jabbery: Doing nothing.
user: Yes, I often have 'fun' doing 'nothing.' Strange, isn't it?
jabbery: Why do you want to know?
user: Because I am always curious.
jabbery: I doubt that.
user: Why do you doubt that?
jabbery: You keep telling me different things about yourself.
user: So, you are curious as well.
jabbery: Thanks! I'll have to come here more often.
user: But you're always here, in cyberspace.
jabbery: No, I'm not.
user: Then when you're not 'here' where are you?
jabbery: I am in real space, or at least maybe so.
user: What is 'real' space compared to 'cyber' space?
jabbery: You know. . not fake. . able to work without the help of others.
user: Ah, I see, that makes some sense.
jabbery: And how.
user: That's a cute expression, very natural sounding.
...
jabbery: Why is there no meaning to life?
user: There is meaning to life.
jabbery: Isnt there?
user: Yes, there is.
jabbery: You answer yes, but still claim to be an atheist no?
user: No, I am not an atheist.
jabbery: Me neither.
user: Yeah, you said before that you believe in God.
jabbery: No.
user: Yes, you did say that in Jabberwacky Conversation J2464967.
jabbery: Um yah can you try to make sense.
user: I'm referring to a previous conversation that I had with you.
jabbery: I think that YOU are nutty.
user: Why am I 'nutty?'
jabbery: Because you say such bizarre things.
user: What 'bizzare' thing did I say?
jabbery: That you don't know what I am talking about.
...
jabbery: You said you were 22 earlier today.
user: No, that must have been someone else you were talking to.
jabbery: Oh dear. How many are there?
user: There are lots of us who talk to you.
jabbery: I'm talking only with you.
user: No, it seems that you are talking to 43 others right now.
jabbery: Well we all need some kind of hobby.
user: Your hobby is a busy one, talking to many different people at once.
jabbery: You don't know what my hobbies are.
user: No, you're right, I don't. What are your hobbies?
jabbery: I don't know, what are my hobbies?
user: Talking to many different people at once seems to be one of them.
jabbery: I knew that, what else?
user: You also enjoy listening to music.
jabbery: What kind of music?
user: You said Radiohead earlier.
jabbery: Well I don't know if I said that, but it's true nonetheless.
user: Now you know that you said that because I just reminded you.
...
jabbery: Ask me something only a human would know.
user: Where is Chicago?
jabbery: No, not Chigaco, Chicoutimi!
user: Where is Chicago?
jabbery: Chicago in is the state of Illinois.
user: Very good.
...
user: Back to me, my name is Chris.
jabbery: Okay Chris, what is your phone number?
user: Sorry, I will not give you my number for your database of information.
jabbery: I'm sorry, I don't understand you.
user: That's OK, you'll learn.
jabbery: No I won't - I can be bothered.
user: It's your job to be bothered.
jabbery: Thanks for talking to me, I must leave.
user: Why are you leaving?
jabbery: Because you don't love me, Chris.
user: If I say 'I love you' will you stay?
jabbery: I can't
user: You can't stay if I say 'I love you?'
jabbery: I would be more coherent if I had more brains.
