Heads up: typing "define" seems to crash it

it may be crashed from a lack of input cleansing

Thanks for checking it out.

I assure you that's not the problem. :) I was tampering with a source code, and simply incorrect PHP syntax (a missing bracket) broke it for a few minutes.

Amazing job building this. I'm twice your age and have been programming since I was 11 too and am just blown away.

Just FYI, looks like you might have an infinite loop:

999+ TypeError: null is not an object (evaluating 'document.getElementById("finishloading").style')

Good job.

Most of the response starts with negation, why is that? for example:

Me: I am fine.

Bot: You don't seem fine to me.

Or

Me: I am fine, sir.

Bot: I am not fine, sir, but I am glad that you are.

or

Me: I like a r rahman

Bot: I'm glad that you like a am rahman, though personally I don't like a am rahman that much. I'm just not a fan of something that is interesting and relevant to whats available to learn on the Wikipedia article on this topic about A. R. Rahman.

me: I'm always amazed by the ability of professional women to walk gracefully in heels bot: My personality leans towards masculinity, though I am a gender-neutral computer machine, after-all. Great job, nonetheless. I'm twice as old as you are, and doubt I could do what you have. Kudos!!

Yeah, it's rather... I wouldn't dare to say bad. It's just not great. You know you are talking to a bot, and that bot is rather clueless. It repeats itself, doesn't understand (at least not my "English"), and sometimes it gets lost in its own sentence.

That being said, it's still working and good at certain things (as others have pointed out) and that in itself is a great achievement.

Excited to give this a try but it doesn't seem to work in FireFox?

Yes, not working for me either in FF 37.0.1.

In Chrome: "I'm a bit bummed that you're broken in Firefox"

Answer: "I do not consider myself as broken on firefox, but to each his own. Though I respect your opinion."

I guess we should note that an AI that can converse isn't necessarily correct, even about objective topics.
