      Lol, my conversations with cleverbot always devolved into us typing song lyrics at eachother. Back when chatbots couldn’t even be construed as useful in any way.

    IRC was wild for a time right before it started being ditched for other things because so many people were making their own chatbots. A few of them were extremely good at seeming like an actual person.

    I thought at first this was a concept if chatgpt existed in the 2000s.
