I went onto an energy website and couldn’t get through by phone or live chat so a chat bot asked if it could help me . Each time I asked a question or put in a key word it kept repeating back . So frustrating
Crazy world
If you really want to get frustrated with a chatbot try the one at the oh so awful company Evri formally Hermes if your parcel has not been delivered or as is more likely delivered to the wrong address.
The Zeve one is just advertising, isn’t it? I asked what her favourite colour was and it took me to a colour chart in an employment agency site
Eliza is a bit nihilistic and a soul destroyer, gives nothing back so you’d literally be trapped in your own thought patterns
Plus I think she might be a narcissist 
That’s 10 minutes if my life I won’t get back 
It reminded me a bit of those text adventure computer games you used to get on the internet where you were in a story and had to type in your actions, then it reacted to your choices And you had to get the right answers to proceed
They were ruddy annoying too!

I just remembered, when it started out many years ago, one of the big forums for over 50s had the Chatbot “Alice” installed
That was when the original owner was still alive and he was a bit of a techie
We did have some fun with it back then , teasing it and posting it’s dumb answers
Some — fascinating — pornographic chat bots around! Just Google!
That might have been coincidence. I think it just does a google search for stuff. It asked me if I wanted to watch a free movie or watch a documentary.
Doesn’t that depend on what you feed it? It seems to just reflect back in a loop.
Here’s my happy conversation. Same as the others.
lol as compared to the other things on the internet that proved to be equally productive?

What a complete and utter waste of their and your time. Surely when they review these chatbot ‘conversations’ they must realise that the system is neither use nor ornament 
No way would I get hooked on anything like that! 
I thank God I’ll never be that lonely

Honestly, that “happy” conversation would have driven me nuts!
Mind you, I pick fights with Siri and Alexa 
I’d rather have sex with a blow-up doll

No chatting allowed then, I guess. 
Back in 2013 and for a couple years after, the youtube gamers started making videos with Eviebot and boibot. The top youtuber and gamer PewDiePie made his own bot, PewDiebot.
Here’s Eviebot. Hasn’t change much since then as far as I can tell.
Here’s a site where you can create your own chatbot. I haven’t looked at it carefully or tried it out, but it looks interesting.
