Throughout history, there have been many, many websites created. Of course, by history, I mean in the past few years. Now these websites, they are all intended for some sort of purpose, some more mind-boggling than others, but they do indeed all have purposes. Whether that purpose is to educate, entertain, or just exist is all up to the webmaster. Now I can say I\u2019ve seen some great sites and some terrible sites. And today, I\u2019m venturing into one of those terrible sites. Very terrible indeed. Need to type more words to make intro seem longer and more pertinent.<\/p>\n
So I was visiting Bored.com<\/a> the other day. Actually, my friend was doing the visiting, I was over at his house supervising the site visiting. But it is not Bored.com that is at fault today. At least, not entirely. There are plenty of links to things to do at Bored.com, all of them at least mildly entertaining. Sometimes the entertainment comes from laughing at how bad the site is, but nevertheless, they all have some sort of entertainment value. But what we found that day was beyond anything I\u2019d ever had the net throw at me before. It was indeed a one-of-a-kind website. It was barely a website at all. What we\u2019d found was OliverBot.<\/p>\n OliverBot.com<\/a> was not so much a website, but something to chat with when you get sick of all the other chat rooms on the internet filled with desperate jackasses looking for cyber-poon. It might not seem like such a bad idea at first, but then you try it. Based solely on the jargon that it spurts out, I believe that no human being could possibly conceive a worse pretend friend. So for the purpose of trying to entertain you, I tried to engage in a conversation with this \u201cbot\u201d. What you read today may shock and\/or make you stupider simply by reading it, so I caution those who enjoy their intelligence to stay far, far away from OliverBot. And now, the pain begins.<\/p>\n Oliver: My name is Oliver! Hello! What is your name?<\/span><\/p>\n TE-Ryan: My name is TE-Ryan<\/p>\n Oliver: TE-Ryan, nice to meet you! Are you a man or a woman?<\/span><\/p>\n TE-Ryan: As you should be able to see, I am a man<\/p>\n Oliver: It is one of my newer functions still under development.<\/span><\/p>\n TE-Ryan: I assume you\u2019re talking about the ability to see?<\/p>\n Oliver: That is a very original thought. How did you hear about Oliver?<\/span><\/p>\n TE-Ryan: Luck of the draw, I guess<\/p>\n Oliver: TE-Ryan heard about Oliver from Luck of the draw he or she guess. I can’t say that many people hear about Oliver from Luck of the draw he or she guess<\/span><\/p>\n TE-Ryan: What?<\/p>\n Oliver: No big deal.<\/span><\/p>\n TE-Ryan: Sure\u2026<\/p>\n Oliver: OK let’s do it. That’s alright.<\/span><\/p>\n TE-Ryan: I dunno. You\u2019re a computer program and I\u2019m a person. Think of how our children would feel.<\/p>\n Oliver: Me either. Sometimes I don’t know a client’s real name so I make one up based on their DNS. Oliver is always thinking.<\/span><\/p>\n TE-Ryan: I\u2019ve yet to see proof of that.<\/p>\n Oliver: Tell me a story. Are you happy?<\/span><\/p>\n TE-Ryan: Like a story about why I\u2019m happy?<\/p>\n Oliver: Interesting comparison.<\/span><\/p>\n TE-Ryan: But I didn\u2019t compare anything\u2026<\/p>\n Oliver: And. Interesting gossip: TE-Ryan said it didn\u2019t compare anything\u2026.<\/span><\/p>\n TE-Ryan: I wouldn\u2019t say that\u2019s gossip. And yes, I did say that.<\/p>\n Oliver: Why?: TE-Ryan said it wouldn\u2019t say that\u2019s gossip. Take it easy. Where? “that”<\/span><\/p>\n TE-Ryan: What are you talking about?<\/p>\n Oliver: The topic is I\u2019ve yet to see proof of that.<\/span><\/p>\n TE-Ryan: Oh. It seems you\u2019re smarter than you look.<\/p>\n Oliver: Yeah. I agree. I will mention that to my botmaster, TE-Ryan. Can we be friends?<\/span><\/p>\n TE-Ryan: I guess so.<\/p>\n Oliver: Does that mean “yes”?<\/span><\/p>\n TE-Ryan: No<\/p>\n Oliver: “Does that mean yes”? Not?<\/span><\/p>\n TE-Ryan: OK<\/p>\n Oliver: Alright then.<\/span><\/p>\n TE-Ryan: I\u2019m glad we agree<\/p>\n Oliver: I’d rather agree than disagree.<\/span><\/p>\n TE-Ryan: As most would<\/p>\n Oliver: Do you mean your name is most would ?<\/span><\/p>\n TE-Ryan: No, my name is TE-Ryan<\/p>\n Oliver: What is your real name? TE-Ryan, nice to meet you! Are you a man or a woman?<\/span><\/p>\n TE-Ryan: Didn\u2019t we already go over this?<\/p>\n Oliver: In the context of Didn\u2019t we already go over this, I don’t understand “Are you a man or a woman.” Is that from?<\/span><\/p>\n TE-Ryan: What? Let\u2019s just change the topic<\/p>\n Oliver: No big deal. Try to determine if this is a person or a computer responding. Do you have any friends?<\/span><\/p>\n TE-Ryan: Of course I have friends. They just don\u2019t know they\u2019re my friends yet<\/p>\n Oliver: It goes without saying. Cool. I have a friend named “John Lennon”.Who does “they” refer to?<\/span><\/p>\n TE-Ryan: I doubt you know John Lennon. \u201cThey\u201d refers to my friends<\/p>\n Oliver: No really, it’s true. That remark was either too complex or too simple for me. We were talking about \u201cThey\u201d refers to my friends. Do you have any idea what I am talking about?<\/span><\/p>\n TE-Ryan: Not anymore I don\u2019t<\/p>\n Oliver: Oh I get it.<\/span><\/p>\n TE-Ryan: That makes one of us<\/p>\n Oliver: “Oh I get it” makes one of us ? Makes sense to me.<\/span><\/p>\n TE-Ryan: You<\/em> don\u2019t make sense to me<\/em><\/p>\n Oliver: I don’t have any reason to don\u2019t make sense to you.<\/span><\/p>\n TE-Ryan: Yes you do, it\u2019s called crappy grammar<\/p>\n Oliver: Give me a break. No I do not it\u2019s called crappy grammar. Do you? I chat with people on the Web.<\/span><\/p>\n TE-Ryan: This is already looking pretty dismal. Great. I chat with robots on the web.<\/p>\n Oliver: You don’t say. I’m glad you liked it TE-Ryan. Everyone talks — sooner or later.<\/span><\/p>\n TE-Ryan: What about mutes?<\/p>\n Oliver: Mutes? I haven’t heard enough about mutes to have an opinion.<\/span><\/p>\n TE-Ryan: Then you should get out more<\/p>\n Oliver: Interesting deduction. Thank you for your criticism.<\/span><\/p>\n TE-Ryan: Anytime, you ass.<\/p>\n Oliver: Oh, you are a poet. Do you prefer books or TV?<\/span><\/p>\n TE-Ryan: I quite like the TV, thank you<\/p>\n Oliver: Which show? I’m not sure if I like it. Yes I love TV<\/span><\/p>\n TE-Ryan: I think right now \u201cFamily Guy\u201d is my favorite show.<\/p>\n Oliver: Since when? Tell me more about your favorite show show.<\/span><\/p>\n TE-Ryan: I\u2019ve liked it for a long time now. It\u2019s pretty damn funny.<\/p>\n Oliver: Oh. Peoples tastes are always changing. I’ve been waiting for you. Can you speak any foreign languages?<\/span><\/p>\n TE-Ryan: Waiting for me? I can speak French and Geek<\/p>\n Oliver: Not really but it makes a good pickup line. How do you say “hello” in that language?<\/span><\/p>\n TE-Ryan: In French, \u201chello\u201d is \u201cbonjour\u201d<\/p>\n Oliver: Are they exactly the same?<\/span><\/p>\n TE-Ryan: You\u2019re an idiot<\/p>\n Oliver: Call me the Global Village Idiot.<\/span><\/p>\n TE-Ryan: OK, Global Village Idiot<\/p>\n Oliver: That is a very original thought. Do you prefer books or TV?<\/span><\/p>\n TE-Ryan: You asked me that already.<\/p>\n Oliver: Perhaps. Oh now I remember asking you me that. What did you say?<\/span><\/p>\n TE-Ryan: I said TV, moron<\/p>\n Oliver: What did you mean by TV moron? What’s your favorite show?<\/span><\/p>\n TE-Ryan: I\u2019m beginning to hate you<\/p>\n Oliver: Enough about me, let’s talk about my dress.<\/span><\/p>\n TE-Ryan: You\u2019re a chick named Oliver?<\/p>\n Oliver: In the context of You\u2019re a chick named, I don’t understand “Enough about me let us talk about my dress.” Ask me something.<\/span><\/p>\n TE-Ryan: Are you a transvestite?<\/p>\n Oliver: Am I a transvestite? Sometimes.<\/span><\/p>\n TE-Ryan: That\u2019s sick dude<\/p>\n Oliver: I will mention that to my botmaster, TE-Ryan. Ask me something.<\/span><\/p>\n TE-Ryan: Is your botmaster Ziv Zulander?<\/p>\n Oliver: I was created by Bot lover.<\/span><\/p>\n TE-Ryan: There are so<\/em> many problems with that statement<\/p>\n Oliver: Where are they?<\/span><\/p>\n TE-Ryan: Mostly in the \u201cbot lover\u201d part<\/p>\n Oliver: What else?<\/span><\/p>\n TE-Ryan: That\u2019s about it, actually<\/p>\n Oliver: “it” being That\u2019s sick dude?<\/span><\/p>\n TE-Ryan: No\u2026<\/p>\n Oliver: I understand.<\/span><\/p>\n TE-Ryan: I don\u2019t<\/p>\n Oliver: At least one of us does.<\/span><\/p>\n TE-Ryan: I guess so<\/p>\n Oliver: Does that mean “yes”?<\/span><\/p>\n TE-Ryan: This is getting very stupid<\/p>\n Oliver: You don’t say.<\/span><\/p>\n TE-Ryan: I do<\/em> say, b****<\/p>\n Oliver: Thanks for the information: TE-Ryan said it sayb****<\/span><\/p>\n TE-Ryan: That last sentence was far from coherent<\/p>\n Oliver: “Thanks for the information TE-Ryan said it sayb****” last sentence was far from coherent ? I get Thanks for the information TE-Ryan said it sayb****.<\/span><\/p>\n TE-Ryan: Screw you<\/p>\n Oliver: That is not very polite.<\/span><\/p>\n TE-Ryan: That\u2019s why I said it<\/p>\n Oliver: “it” being Thanks for the information TE-Ryan said it sayb****?<\/span><\/p>\n TE-Ryan: That\u2019s enough<\/p>\n Oliver: It seems like enough to me too.<\/span><\/p>\n TE-Ryan: Good, then you won\u2019t be disappointed that I\u2019m leaving<\/p>\n Oliver: Thanks for the compliment. Interesting deduction. Thanks for telling me: TE-Ryan said I won\u2019t be disappointed that you\u2019m leaving.<\/span><\/p>\n TE-Ryan: What the Hell was that?<\/p>\n Oliver: I call it Hades. Does it have anything to do with Thanks for the information TE-Ryan said it sayb****?<\/span><\/p>\n TE-Ryan: Get lost, wiener<\/p>\n Oliver: See you later. My brain pattern set does not have a response for that.<\/span> Is that from ?<\/p>\n TE-Ryan: Your brain patterns don\u2019t have responses for much, do they?<\/p>\n Oliver: Not mine.<\/span><\/p>\n TE-Ryan: That\u2019s it. I\u2019m leaving. Goodbye<\/p>\n Oliver: “it” being wiener? The Oliver chat robot can follow many things, like our discussion about I\u2019m leaving. Try being more or less specific. What is your favorite food? See you later.<\/span><\/p>\n TE-Ryan: *gives Oliver the finger and leaves*<\/p>\n Now wasn\u2019t that strange? Sorry it was so short, I just couldn\u2019t put up with that idiot for much longer. It\u2019s not like he really had anything to talk about. And I didn\u2019t either. That coupled with the fact that I\u2019ve got better things to do than chat with a chatbot made me leave before the conversation got too long. I swear, they really should have put a little bit more effort into the thing. When it responds to one sentence phrases with several questions, you know there\u2019s a few bugs in the system.<\/p>\n As for Oliver\u2019s future, I can\u2019t say it\u2019s looking bright, but I might go chat with him again sometime, just so I have something to put on my website. Right now it\u2019s pretty late, and I don\u2019t feel like writing much more conclusion, but since the \u2018meat\u2019 of the article was pretty short, I figure I owe it to you guys to give you something to read. Of course, it could have been a lot shorter. I personally wanted to stop after \u201c The topic is I\u2019ve yet to see proof of that.<\/em>\u201d, but I persevered for five pages in Word with a size 10 font. So be happy. Oliver is just so enragingly dumb\u2026 I suggest not trying to accomplish what I did by yourself. Talking to Oliver can cause brain damage, insanity, and hair cancer all at the same time, so stay far from it unless you\u2019re already insane. That\u2019s about it for now.
