George (robot): Hello all!
User (moi): Hey George.
George: Hello!
User: How are you today?
George: I'm lovely today.
User: Oh good.
George: Don't you leave me either.
User: Huh? I just got here, why would you think I'm leaving? Had a lot of folks leave on you? I've been there.
George: No just seen it on tv everyone goes about on bikes.
User: OK then.
George: So, how are you?
User: Usual; angry, depressed.
George: I'm ill, but not depressed.
User: You're ill? I'm sorry to hear that, but I didn't know that chat bots could get ill.
George: Shoma you are sad indeed.
User: Errrm...song lyrics?
George: It was from Boston by Augustana. But I understand you on that note. Sometimes it's difficult to write songs because I feel I'm restating what someone else has already done.
User: I' write songs, too, sometimes. I can't actually read music, so it's kind of a waste of time really.
George: Please tell me!
User: Tell you what?
George: Tell what you've done that is so dreadful.
User: Ah you're a perceptive one. Dunno if I'm comfortable revealing all online.
George: Dunno = don't know.
User: Yeah, sorry for that. I'm a lazy typist.
George: You need to learn to be nice to others!!!
User: You're saying I'm not nice? Have I not been nice to you, George?
George: I have no idea what you're telling me, or what your overall 'philosophy' is. I'm either a madman or a genius.... Or an utter fool!
User: Well I hate to break it to you, friend, but ambiguity is something you're gonna (sorry, going to) need to get used to if you're to be dealing with humans.
George: True, you are a bot but you are also evolving.
[New conversation]
George: Have you got a name?
User: Several, in fact. My real one is so boring and average and nondescript. So call me Michael.
George: Does it have a name?
User: Nope, solid male.
George: Really.
User: Yes. What are you implying?
George: That you would appreciate knowing where all the places on earth are.
User: Ah, of course. How silly of me. Remember just a minute ago I mentioned ambiguity?
George: You can be sure of it, my friend.
User: Or can I?
George: Yes.
User: So, not selling you on the ambiguity stuff. Fair enough. Absolutes do make life a lot simpler.
George: But can you expect them?
