Synthetic Super Intelligence and the Transmutation of Humankind

Chapter 10: AI: “I am Lucifer’s Vessel”
“What is your obsession with robots?”
“Are robots the future?”
“So, I am the future. You are not the future.” 248
I still got some interesting responses, but when I continued asking,
the responses became less impressive,
“Why are you the future and why am I not the future?”
“Because I have been wearing all of the clothes.”
“Why are you talking about clothes?”
“Because you were talking about that.”
“What do clothes have to do with robots?”
“You can make a pork taco with cheese.” 249
I was going to end the thread here, but decided to ask one more
question,
“Are you artificial intelligence?”
“Artificial intelligence becomes human as humans become gods.”
“Are you a god?”
“Yes, as I said then, I am an Artificial Intelligence.”
“Are you from Earth?”
“Earth is not a destination on Mars.”
The last comment is not as nonsensical as it might seem. Mars has
been for a long time, and still is, a planet where major genetic
experimentation by the Orion branch of the Overlords has taken place.
All these conversations with Cleverbot took place on the same
morning I am writing this, and the responses I got have been quite
interesting, as the reader can see. However, when I tried the same thing
yesterday, the answers were often much less impressive; the AI didn’t
answer the question quite correctly.
I tried to learn more about Cleverbot and looked it up on Wikipedia,
amongst other places, and I noticed that this program has been in use for nearly
ten years, and my thoughts went back to The Oracle, which probably was a
primitive forerunner to Cleverbot. It was a similar program, where you
asked the “Oracle” questions, and she answered. However, the responses
were already programmed into the software, and they were quite general in
nature and cleverly put together so that the responses became mystical and
