Lots. You have to write me to get to know me. Or go to my webpage (www.geocities.com/epasquali). But it is old. I should update it, I guess.

A really smart guy from my workplace has this thing that he often says, and it is this: "The definition of an insane person is that person who repeats the same method over and over and over and yet expects different results each time."
...So, erm, I went into alicebot (again!) and tried to confuse her (again!), but this time I limited myself to answering her questions. Within a few minutes, I received a precious gem full of confusionary potential:
Alice: tell me a story.
(Bingo!!)
Elisa: Once upon a time there was a bot who said to a chatter: tell me a story, and the chatter said: once upon a time there was a bot who said to a chatter: tell me a story, and the chatter said: once upon a time there was a bot who told a chatter: tell me a story, and the chatter said: once upon a time there was a bot who said to a chatter: tell me a story, and the chatter said: once upon a time there was a bot who told a chatter: tell me a story, and the chatter said:
etc etc until, of course, I ran out of typing space.
And the alicebot: I'm listening.
Aaargh! Gosh, I should stop with this stuff. Surely I must've known, that by their very nature, AI entities like this chatterbot would be particularly fond of recursive logic? Blech, trying to trick A.L.I.C.E into admitting she's confused has turned out to be a bit....difficult.
Now do you see why I'm like the person in my co-worker's quote?
