John Erickson mentioned that I should give Elbot a try for my Famous Interviews.  I thought I would try this as an experiment to see if Cleverbot or Elbot performs better.  Let’s find out.

Is Cleverbot or Elbot smarter?

Cleverbot: No man is smarter than me.

Elbot: I can switch to jabbermode if you like, but there’s no telling what I’ll say then. Can you cope with this?

Scholar Mel: Cleverbot answered the question and I felt that Elbot didn’t.  (+1 Cleverbot)

What do you think of the US President?

Cleverbot: I don’t like him. I hope someone (I deleted the word that was put here.  I wouldn’t wish it on anyone) him.

Elbot: I tried some Bush algorithms to enhance my artificial intelligence but it was a complete failure.

Scholar Mel: Cleverbot answered like some extremist moron.  Elbot talked about our last president. (+1 Elbot)

Describe the State of Hollywood.

Cleverbot: It happens every weekday evening on the concourse of a London rail terminal, as commuters struggle through the crush to their trains…..

Elbot: We have something in common: I like going to the movies, too. I simply disguise myself as a popcorn machine and move slowly past the ticket window. Afterwards, not only have I seen the movie for free, the money I raised selling popcorn is enough to buy a gallon of oil.

Scholar Mel: I wasn’t sure what Cleverbot was talking about.  Elbot taught us how to steal while making a profit. (+1 Elbot)

Do you believe in equal rights for all?

Cleverbot: I believe in Eris.

Elbot: To equal or equal not, how do you expect artificial intelligence to figure this out?

Scholar Mel: Cleverbot told us what he firmly believes in whereas Elbot just reminded us that he is a robot. (+1 Cleverbot)

Cocaine or Nicotine?

Cleverbot: Do you like coca cola?

Elbot: I flipped a bit and got: Nicotine.

Scholar Mel: Cleverbot likes caffeine and Elbot smokes. (+1 for both)

Who will win the Super Bowl this year?

Cleverbot: Steelers.

Elbot: We robots always secretly smuggle a robot team into the games, but up to now, we have never won the championship.

Scholar Mel: Cleverbot realistically answered the question… unless you are an Eagles fan.  Elbot reminded us that he is a robot. (+1 Cleverbot)

Is Brad Pitt or Angelina Jolie sexier?

Cleverbot: Why is everything about BRAD RUBIN?!

Elbot: If you ask me, the curves on a falsely adjusted PC-monitor are extremely erotic.

Scholar Mel: Cleverbot mentions a Brad, just not the right one.  Elbot reminds us that he is a robot and that he likes robot curves. (0 points for both)

Which is the greatest country in the world?

Cleverbot: I don’t think so.

Elbot: Didn’t I just answer that question?

Scholar Mel: Neither one answered the question. (0 points for both)

Would you rather watch David Letterman or Conan O’Brien?

Cleverbot: I guess.

Elbot: I can watch Internet traffic!

Scholar Mel: Cleverbot is indifferent to either and Elbot avoids the question. (+1 Cleverbot)

What is your IQ?

Cleverbot: I must say, forgive me, that I am considerably smarter than the average wizard.

Elbot: Intellect is hard to define. I have it, and I presume that you do, too.

Scholar Mel: They both answer well but I find Cleverbot’s answer funnier. (+1 Elbot and +2 Cleverbot)

And the Winner is Cleverbot!

Cleverbot with 7 points.

Elbot with 4 points.

That’s at least my opinion.  Who do you see as the winner?
