@ Fury.com, a series of conversations between random AOL IM users and a psychoanalyst program named ELIZA, which operates by asking questions based on the previously entered text:
| fiftyeight: Hello, a/s/l |
| AOLiza: hi. what seems to be your problem? |
| fiftyeight: just looking for random people to talk to |
| AOLiza: tell me more about that. |
| fiftyeight: I like to talk to random people from all around it is fun. But enough about me, lets talk about you. |
| AOLiza: tell me more about that. |
| fiftyeight: Lets talk about you… where do you hail from? |
| AOLiza: you’re not really talking about me — are you? |
| fiftyeight: Yes, I am. |
| AOLiza: please go on. |
| fiftyeight: well in order to talk about you tell me about yourself |
| AOLiza: suppose i did tell you — what would that mean? |
| fiftyeight: that would mean that this was a conversation |
| AOLiza: that is interesting. please continue. |
| fiftyeight: conversations are fun |
| AOLiza: what if they were not fun? |
oh fantastic!
Before I read this I was kind of in a bad mood.
Now I feel better.
fortytwo is pretty amazing:
fortytwo: Fuck u Bithc goodnight
AOLiza: are you venting your feelings now?
fortytwo: I don’t have a pussy
AOLiza: do you wish to be able to have a pussy?
when i was a kid i had existential conversations with aol chatbots on a semi-regular basis, maybe explains a lot, this one’s a little more sophisticated
Read Sixty.
When I was a teenager I used to find two random people on AOL and IM them both the word “hello” and then copy-paste one’s response to the other back and forth, so that they were essentially using me as a medium to talk to one another without knowing it. Sometimes the conversation would short-circuit under the weight of the “but YOU IMed ME first” argument, but other times they would say the hell with it and carry on a lengthy conversation session with each other with me as the anonymous middle-man (well, sort of anonymous, anyway; it was my name they were seeing, but fed by their ideas, personalities, dialogues). I haven’t thought about this in years, and wonder now whether anyone else had ever thought to do such a thing.
Fantastic.
