Cleverbot is a novelty AI program designed to mimic human interaction and allow people to “talk” to it conversationally. It is often clever, sometimes funny, but mostly random.

Here, Igor Labutov, Jason Yosinski, and Hod Lipson of the Cornell Creative Machines Lab put two cleverbots head-to-head to and let them converse. They argued. They went random. It worked nicely. As HotHardware said, “When Two Chatbots Talk Hilarity Ensues.”

Yes. Yes it does.
