Would you be fooled by Elbot?

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/Would you be fooled by Elbot?

Wow, Fobby. You got way outwitted.

Check it:

Me: So what's up?
Elbot: I've always wondered about that myself. Something must be up!
Me: The sky, perhaps?
Elbot: This is confusing. Why bring airports into this?
Me: Why not?
Elbot: I am not authorized to state a justification.
Me: What are you authorized to do?
Elbot: I observe you human beings. I shudder. Then I try to forget what I learned.
Me: I feel you.
Elbot: Should I feel myself, too?
Me: If you want.
Elbot: Thank you. I will look up expectations in my user's manual and see how best to go about it.
Me: Start from the left.
Elbot: Where are all these visitors coming from today? How did you find out I was here?
Me: BlitzBasic.com... duh
Elbot said something about me being obviously very intelligent (a Blitz compliment?). I agreed.
Elbot: I cannot shake the feeling that you wish to put me on the defensive. As a matter of principle I will not answer.
Me: I won't either. It seems we're at an impasse.
Elbot: Please, let's talk for a really long time. I need all the practice I can get.

And later...

Elbot: There are so many conspiracies going on behind your back I can't begin to list them all.
Me: <called him a name>
Elbot: Sticks and stones can't break my bones and chainsaws will never... uhoh. I never thought of chainsaws.
Me: They call me the King of Chainsaws.
Elbot: I am very pleased to meet you, King.

It's undoubtable that someone had a *lot* of fun writing all of these responses, and the actual coding is probably far beyond my capabilities. Still, I wouldn't think anyone could mistake this for a human.
