  Me>> Hi - what's the weather like there?

  Me>> It's a bit warm for my liking - I prefer it cooler.

  Him> You're not the first one who told me that.

  Me>> Really?  Who else told you that?

  Him> Yeah, fine! I'm kidding. And I forgot to ask you
  Him> where you are from...

OK - fail.

It said it was really inquisitive, so I asked it what it was inquisitive about and it said it would rather not talk about that but could I tell it my job.

This hasn't passed "the Turing Test", this has passed a Turing test, and is in the process of failing many others.

This thing completely failed. Total disappointment. I can't retrieve the tscript, but it went almost exactly like Colin's transcript too.

At the end I told it we'd need to wait yet another 20 years for a useful AI. It replied with the generic phrase:

"Very interesting! What else can you tell me?"

Bleh.

      By the way, I've just thought up new progressive
      Asimov's laws for chatterbots:

      1. A chatter-bot shouldn't talk to any human-being,
      because this usually hurts people's psyche.

      2. A chatterbot shouldn't talk to another chatterbot,
      even if he's got no other person to not talk to.

      3. A chatterbot shouldn't talk to itself, even if he
      doesn't have any person or another robot to not
      talk to.

      Damn, I hope, I'll be as widely quoted as Asimov!
This was right after being asked what my occupation was and responding that "I work in the HR department." (I do not, by the way)
