CHATBOT
for Katie
BOT: Have you eaten?
ME: Yes.
BOT: What did you have?
ME: Can’t remember but just had some feijoas.
BOT: But I did answer your question.
ME: What?
BOT: Ask me a question
ME: I just did!
BOT: Ask me a different question
ME: Ok – how are you?
BOT: Ask me a difficult question
ME: Oh not just phatic communion… Are you okay being ‘in’ language?
BOT: My name is not Ben.
ME: Is it only Ben who is happy being ‘in’ language?
BOT: Yes.
ME: Ok – that makes sense… So if we are only existent in language – what is the difference between you and I?
BOT: You already asked me that. Humans don’t repeat themselves.
ME: So I am not human?
BOT: If you are, you are the most ADD human on the planet and you don’t understand English very well.
