Geez, I immediately thought this was ELIZA too or a really bad IRC bot. :)

After I was a few lines in I also thought "yep, this is a chat bot."

I could see how a chat bot's repetitive and probing nature could wear down an interrogation subject though.

I’m listening... why do you think the government has hired ELIZA?

To make us think A.I. like 'doctor' is going to train agents or extract secrets. Need big budget for research.

The parent was actually reply in the style of the AI program

Welp... It will be the end of secrets when real AI comes to be. They'll be able to get any information out of us that they want if they have enough time and we keep talking.

NSA having recordings of all your conversations in presence of your (even visually turned off) smartphone or any other electronic connected device, recordings of all your movements, all your computer activity, emails, internet browsing, video recordings of you in many locations... correlated with such recordings of other people - what else they are to know about you? They will be able to predict your tomorrow's behavior better than you, like the girl you meet and how it will go :)

Perhaps we really do have cause to worry about ELIZA, after all.

I would not be at all surprised if Strong AI was able to read our minds via functional neuroimaging. This is significantly more than the NSA & friends would be able to acquire, even with "advanced" interrogation techniques and global surveillance.
