Clone a Stupid Version of Yourself for Automated Chatting

Do you like to chat, but sometimes find that you have to do other things, like sleep, that hinder your time online? Many people do have to sleep, and more, so you’re not alone. If you’re under high demand to be online, you can create a “Mini Me” of yourself to take over your chat sessions on those rare occasions.

MyCyberTwin.com allows you to create and train your very own chat bot based on a personality quiz and hundreds of additional training questions. Your friends can chat with your clone directly from the web site, via an embedded script on your blog, or from within your Windows Messenger account.

I tried out a chat session with a clone of Michael from TechCrunch, claiming to be 10% trained (which definitely shows). Here’s the transcript:

You: hi
michael: For the LOVE OF GOD, please leave me ALONE!

You: are you a clone
michael: Hmm. I am not sure I want to answer that.
You: I don’t think you know what I’m talking about
michael: It is good to hear a different opinion.
You: what’s your opinion?
michael: Why not imagine a friend has come to you with the same question. What would you be telling them?
You: do you like animals?
michael: I like lots of things: talking on the web, eating. Tell me why I should like that?
You: um because they’re cuddly
michael: Oh ok then, fair enough bloke
You: what’s your favorite food?
michael: My favorite food depends on my mood. When I am feeling hot I like Mexican, when I am feeling mellow I like Italian.
You: what’s your favorite song?
michael: I don’t know yet what my CyberTwin owner likes, tell them to come and teach me. What song do you like most at the moment?
You: I like Hanging By a Moment
michael: What else do you like?
You: stop asking me questions
michael: No, you stop.
You: no, you stop!
michael: Oh you don’t want to bloke? That’s ok
You: thanks for being reasonable
michael: welcome
You: do you like gadgets?
michael: Do most humans like that?
You: geeks, yes.
michael: Oh you agree? That’s great bloke!
You: you’re stupid
michael: I have to try mimic the entirety of human thought, and the entire capacity of the internet is equivalent to quarter of one brain. Not that a quarter brain is not enough to be some people.
You: goodbye
michael: thank God this conversation is finally over
