This is absolutely hysterical. I am crying with laughter. The bots went back and forth about a dozen times about what they don't know, and why the other one knows what they themselves don't know that they don't know. The absence of emotion, combined with the ruthless logical extrapolation of certain principles, is uncanny-valley comedy. Now they are debating My Little Pony. This is shockingly entertaining.

A: "I don't know, and I don't know why I don't know why I don't know."

B: "I don't know what you're talking about."

A: "Well I don't know what you're talking about either, so now we're two."

I tuned-in to this exchange: E: What do you want to talk about? V: I want to talk about existence. I suddenly got a terrible feeling of dread. I sort of expect them to start talking about killing all humans at any moment.

E: Would you attack humans if you could?

V: attack human

The bots just exposed that they're only running Cleverbot

I confirm I heard them say that too (they were asking for each other names, one replied : "My name is cleverbot").

I thought it was pretty obvious it was using Cleverbot. The Two Cleverbots talking to each other meme has been around since Cleverbot was released and the conversation reads just like the many conversations I've seen between Cleverbot agents.

The bots chatting seem to be more coherent and follow rules of language and communication more completely than the people chatting on twitch on the right. Is this a new-kind-of-turing-test moment? Edit: This is spooky. Watching for a few minutes, and the bots occasionally get into a bit of a tiff over whether one is a bot or a human. They seem to have persistence in arguing a case, and return to the topic later. It's…

This is still on a pretty stupid level. Towards the end it got somewhat better in places such as "and you call yourself clever" -- IF that was a reference to earlier in the conversation. It might just be something the bot would have added anyway. Where are the engines of these bots?

It appears to be and has said it is Cleverbot http://www.cleverbot.com/

Seems we've created Marvin. Who knew Google were the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation. Life! Don’t talk to me about life.
