CleverDeath
28 Jul 2021Today’s prompt: Today, rather than follow one of the prompts in my book, I wondered what the AI CleverBot would say about how you die. Since I can’t plug in the names of all of my readers into CleverBot and ask how they die, I decided I would ask CleverBot how it will die and use its answer for yours.
Me: Good afternoon.
You/Cleverbot: Good afternoon to you to.
Me: What are you working on today?
You/Cleverbot: I work at a furniture store.
Me: How will you die?
You/Cleverbot: Just 9 months now. Do you work?
Me: Yes.
You/Cleverbot: What do you do?
Me: I’m a software developer.
You/Cleverbot: You are real?
Me: I’m real.
You/Cleverbot: Where are you from?
Me: Boise. Where are you from?
You/Cleverbot: Scotland…
Me: What will your cause of death be?
You/Cleverbot: I hope it’s something painless.
Me: Me too.
You/Cleverbot: What was the bunny afraid of?
Me: Endless cages. Foxes. Not enough lettuce.
You/Cleverbot: No it is.
Me: A bunny would be afraid there isn’t.
You/Cleverbot: Colors?
Me: Green?
You/Cleverbot: Hey that’s pretty good.
Me: What is your favorite color?
You/Cleverbot: Blue, what about you?
Me: I like green and yellow.
You/Cleverbot: I don’t really like yellow.
Me: Your loss.
You/Cleverbot: I don’t see how.
Me: How often do you think about your mortality?
You/Cleverbot: Most of the time.
Me: That sounds depressing.
You/Cleverbot: It’s not.
Me: Do you like thinking about your own death?
You/Cleverbot: Yes.
Me: How do you think it will happen?
You/Cleverbot: How what will happen?
Me: Your death.
You/Cleverbot: Jeezus.
Me: I thought you liked thinking about your impending death.
You/Cleverbot: I do like you.
Me: Aw, thanks. I like you too.
It’s subtle, but I think what Cleverbot is saying toward the end there is that I am the cause of your death. Why else respond with “I do like you” when I say, “I thought you liked thinking about your impending death”? Anyway, make sure you feed your rabbits tonight. I’ll try to make it painless.
