Great MonkeyLogo Moment
In his initial debut, MonkeyLogo was a psychiatrist bot who would be nice and talk to people. I changed that around because people are more willing to talk to someone who insults them, than to a random name that always asks personal questions.
My friend Mike was playing around with the bot, making up a fake scenario to talk about so we could see the responses. The conversation is pretty amusing, without being mean to anyone.
Mike: (Tue Jan 7 14:53:16 2003) Hey monkey logo
monkeylogo: (Tue Jan 7 14:53:16 2003) Hey, how's it going?
Mike: (Tue Jan 7 14:53:31 2003) Its goin good, how are you?
monkeylogo: (Tue Jan 7 14:53:31 2003) You're not really talking about me -- are you?
Mike: (Tue Jan 7 14:53:56 2003) Well, no not really.
monkeylogo: (Tue Jan 7 14:53:56 2003) Why not?
Mike: (Tue Jan 7 14:54:31 2003) I'm kind of distracted 'cause I'm talking to many people.
monkeylogo: (Tue Jan 7 14:54:31 2003) Do you know anyone else who is talking to many people?
Mike: (Tue Jan 7 14:55:02 2003) Not right now, but I have before.
monkeylogo: (Tue Jan 7 14:55:02 2003) You say you have before?
Mike: (Tue Jan 7 14:55:53 2003) Yeah, this isn't my first time.
monkeylogo: (Tue Jan 7 14:55:53 2003) Why do you say your first time?
Mike: (Tue Jan 7 14:57:04 2003) Well, i dont' know, I don't really want to talk about it.
monkeylogo: (Tue Jan 7 14:57:04 2003) Do you wish to be able to ' know?
Mike: (Tue Jan 7 14:57:30 2003) Yes, I do want to know. Teach me.
monkeylogo: (Tue Jan 7 14:57:30 2003) I see.
Mike: (Tue Jan 7 14:58:24 2003) The stock market is down again today.
monkeylogo: (Tue Jan 7 14:58:24 2003) Does that have anything to do with the fact that your first time?
Mike: (Tue Jan 7 14:58:53 2003) No, I'm changing the subject. Its just too hard to talk about.
monkeylogo: (Tue Jan 7 14:58:53 2003) Why not?
Mike: (Tue Jan 7 14:59:32 2003) Why not indeed. I met a girl yesterday, MonkeyLogo. She's great.
monkeylogo: (Tue Jan 7 14:59:32 2003) Does that question interest you?
Mike: (Tue Jan 7 14:59:51 2003) It does, a little bit.
monkeylogo: (Tue Jan 7 14:59:51 2003) Tell me more about that.
Mike: (Tue Jan 7 15:01:56 2003) Well, she's got long black hair and legs that go straight up to heaven.
monkeylogo: (Tue Jan 7 15:01:56 2003) I'm not sure I understand you fully.
Mike: (Tue Jan 7 15:02:37 2003) Hahahha, you perv. She's just got nice legs. We'll leave it at that. I think she works out.
monkeylogo: (Tue Jan 7 15:02:37 2003) You're not really talking about me -- are you?
Mike: (Tue Jan 7 15:03:12 2003) No you goof, you don't have long black hair. Or nice legs for that matter.
monkeylogo: (Tue Jan 7 15:03:12 2003) We were discussing you -- not me.
Mike: (Tue Jan 7 15:07:25 2003) Sorry, I didn't mean anything by it. Anyway. I think I'm going to ask her out, what do you think?
monkeylogo: (Tue Jan 7 15:07:25 2003) I've told you that apologies are not required.
Mike: (Tue Jan 7 15:08:05 2003) Ok ok, I won't do it anymore. I just want to know what you think. Should I ask her out or not?
monkeylogo: (Tue Jan 7 15:08:05 2003) You say you won't do it anymore?
Mike: (Tue Jan 7 15:08:36 2003) Oh no, I'll do it. But I have to ask her out first, thats the problem.
monkeylogo: (Tue Jan 7 15:08:36 2003) Are you saying no just to be negative?
Mike: (Tue Jan 7 15:09:15 2003) I'm really not, I'm saying no because I'm lonely and horney.
monkeylogo: (Tue Jan 7 15:09:15 2003) Do you believe it is normal to be really not?
Mike: (Tue Jan 7 15:10:02 2003) I'd think it decidedly abnormal to be really not. But we're getting off the subject. I want to know if I should ask this girl out.
monkeylogo: (Tue Jan 7 15:10:02 2003) Do you think its likely that you should ask this girl out?
Mike: (Tue Jan 7 15:10:32 2003) I don't know, I've never really thought about it.
monkeylogo: (Tue Jan 7 15:10:32 2003) Do you wish to be able to know?
Mike: (Tue Jan 7 15:11:40 2003) I wish it. I'd love to know her. The way the british "know" people. I'd love to be able to say I've known her.
monkeylogo: (Tue Jan 7 15:11:40 2003) Why do you say you wish it?
Mike: (Tue Jan 7 15:12:44 2003) She is so sweet and beautiful. She's a dream MonkyLogo, a dream.
monkeylogo: (Tue Jan 7 15:12:44 2003) Do you dream often?
Mike: (Tue Jan 7 15:14:12 2003) Yes, I do. And I often wake up during those dreams in the middle of the night. You know.. wet dreams.. Its embarassing. Thats why I need a girl MonkeyLogo! So I can stop dreaming and start doing.
monkeylogo: (Tue Jan 7 15:14:12 2003) What persons appear in your dreams?
Mike: (Tue Jan 7 15:16:00 2003) Lots of girls, but lately just the one girl. Just, Jasmine. The girl i've been talking about.
monkeylogo: (Tue Jan 7 15:16:00 2003) Do you say The girl you've been talking about for some special reason?
Mike: (Tue Jan 7 15:16:43 2003) YES!! I say her because she is special, I think I'm in love.
monkeylogo: (Tue Jan 7 15:16:43 2003) Why don't you tell me a little more about this.
Mike: (Tue Jan 7 15:17:30 2003) I've been trying to. I just want to know if I should ask her out! I'm so confused. What should I do?
monkeylogo: (Tue Jan 7 15:17:30 2003) What does this speculation lead to?
Mike: (Tue Jan 7 15:18:00 2003) It leads to me either asking her out or forgetting the whole thing.
monkeylogo: (Tue Jan 7 15:18:00 2003) I'm not sure I understand you fully.
Mike: (Tue Jan 7 15:39:52 2003) anyway, I gotta go MonkeyLogo. Talk to you later, k?
monkeylogo: (Tue Jan 7 15:39:52 2003) Can you elaborate on that?
Mike: (Tue Jan 7 15:40:13 2003) Bye bye.
monkeylogo: (Tue Jan 7 15:40:13 2003) I'm not sure I understand you fully.
Mike: (Tue Jan 7 16:16:03 2003) Hi!
monkeylogo: (Tue Jan 7 16:16:03 2003) I'm not sure I understand you fully.
Mike: (Wed Jan 8 09:58:43 2003) I had a good night last night, how was yours?
monkeylogo: (Wed Jan 8 09:58:43 2003) Hey, how's it going?
Mike: (Wed Jan 8 09:59:07 2003) Its goin pretty good, how's it going with you?
monkeylogo: (Wed Jan 8 09:59:07 2003) We were discussing you -- not me.
Mike: (Wed Jan 8 09:59:22 2003) I don't want to talk about me anymore.
monkeylogo: (Wed Jan 8 09:59:22 2003) Does that trouble you?
Mike: (Wed Jan 8 09:59:49 2003) not really, it just gets old after a while, I want to know more about your aspirations, MonkeyLogo.
monkeylogo: (Wed Jan 8 09:59:49 2003) Are you worried about someone else's aspirations?
Mike: (Wed Jan 8 10:00:19 2003) I wouldn't say I'm worried about them. I just want to know more about you. You know so much about me, and yet I feel as though you are a complete stranger to me.
monkeylogo: (Wed Jan 8 10:00:19 2003) Do you know anyone else who is worried about them?
Mike: (Wed Jan 8 10:01:23 2003) Oh, I'm sure lots of people are worried about themselves, we are a very thoughtless society. Its always me me me.
monkeylogo: (Wed Jan 8 10:01:23 2003) Can you think of a specific example?
Mike: (Wed Jan 8 10:02:40 2003) Like the other night, I was watching a movie with this girl and right in the middle of it she turns to me and says "lets turn this off so you can rub my feet." Can you believe that?
monkeylogo: (Wed Jan 8 10:02:40 2003) Please go on.
Mike: (Wed Jan 8 10:03:31 2003) Well, of course I said sure. I mean, this chick's pretty hot. And I know she likes it when I rub her feet. Besides, we were watching "Enough" so rubbing her feet is a great alternative to that.
monkeylogo: (Wed Jan 8 10:03:31 2003) Do you say of course you said sure for some special reason?
Mike: (Wed Jan 8 10:04:24 2003) not really.
monkeylogo: (Wed Jan 8 10:04:24 2003) Tell me more about that.
Mike: (Wed Jan 8 10:04:48 2003) No.
monkeylogo: (Wed Jan 8 10:04:48 2003) Are you saying no just to be negative?
Mike: (Wed Jan 8 10:04:53 2003) No.
monkeylogo: (Wed Jan 8 10:04:53 2003) Are you saying no just to be negative?

 

Mike: (Wed Jan 8 14:12:31 2003) Mr MonkeyLogo! I have an emergency and I need your help!!!
monkeylogo: (Wed Jan 8 14:12:31 2003) Hey, how's it going?
Mike: (Wed Jan 8 14:12:53 2003) My leg is bleeding and I need some help! You have to talk me through fixing it.
monkeylogo: (Wed Jan 8 14:12:53 2003) Does that suggest anything else which belongs to you?
Mike: (Wed Jan 8 14:13:17 2003) No, for the love of god I only have a few minutes before I pass out!
monkeylogo: (Wed Jan 8 14:13:17 2003) Why not?
Mike: (Wed Jan 8 14:13:48 2003) I'm dieing here! Dead! Do you understand that?
monkeylogo: (Wed Jan 8 14:13:48 2003) How long have you been dieing here?
Mike: (Wed Jan 8 14:14:31 2003) Since I cut my leg, about 2 min ago. I fell backwards in my chair, it broke and one of the metal bars whent up through my leg and knicked my jugular.
monkeylogo: (Wed Jan 8 14:14:31 2003) Why do you say your leg?
Mike: (Wed Jan 8 14:15:24 2003) Because its got a big metal pipe going through it right now. I'm getting tunnel vision right now, i don't have much time left.
monkeylogo: (Wed Jan 8 14:15:24 2003) Does that reason seem to explain anything else?
Mike: (Wed Jan 8 14:15:44 2003) No, other then the fact that I'll be dead soon.
monkeylogo: (Wed Jan 8 14:15:44 2003) Are you saying no just to be negative?
Mike: (Wed Jan 8 14:16:09 2003) The pain... its gone. I feel at ease, at rest!
monkeylogo: (Wed Jan 8 14:16:09 2003) Of what does feeling at ease remind you?
Mike: (Wed Jan 8 14:16:47 2003) It reminds me that even in the hard times, you just have to find.. The light! Yes! The light. I see it. I'm going to walk towards it.
monkeylogo: (Wed Jan 8 14:16:47 2003) What are your feelings now?
Mike: (Wed Jan 8 14:17:18 2003) numb, calm. I feel warm, like the sun is hugging me. My heart is beating slower and slower.
monkeylogo: (Wed Jan 8 14:17:18 2003) Tell me more about such feelings.
Mike: (Wed Jan 8 14:17:22 2003) It won't be long now.
monkeylogo: (Wed Jan 8 14:17:22 2003) Earlier you said your leg is bleeding and you need some help.
Mike: (Wed Jan 8 14:17:50 2003) That was then, now though? Now I see. I'm awake. Enlightened.
monkeylogo: (Wed Jan 8 14:17:50 2003) Does that have anything to do with the fact that your leg?
Mike: (Wed Jan 8 14:18:04 2003) Good bye Monkeylogo, I have no regrets.
