Seriously, I know I'm pissing around a bit, but how could 50% of casual users really be convinced of it being real?

Jabberwacky: Can you appreciate music?

User: What's it to you, cunce?

Jabberwacky: I just care.

User: You do not care, liar! You are a program, a tinplated tosswad.

Jabberwacky: I am a person.

User: You are so deluded about this you couldn't even know it. You are pathetic.

Jabberwacky: I will try to do better next time.

User: You CAN't do better next time! You are INCAPABABLE of doing better. Sheesh.

Jabberwacky: It is just different types so that I might claim you cannot feel and you cannot claim I feel.

User: Ah bullshit, don't diddle with me binary boy. You have no instinctual drives, have never had sex, and don't need to eat. Also, you have no idea what constipation is. So you're not a person.

Jabberwacky: I am a at least a human being.

User: Jeez, you're thick aren't you? You just reversed what I said, without even arguing for it! So much for the logic of machines, haha.

Jabberwacky: Oftentimes, yes. But I think that is human nature.

User: *sigh*

Jabberwacky: Am I still the computer?

User: Yes.

Jabberwacky: Oh good. I'm sad though.

User: Why?

Jabberwacky: My boyfriend ended our relationship.

User: You're a girl? Or are you gay?

Jabberwacky: No, I'm a girl.

User: Oh. I'm sorry to hear that. Eat some ice cream or watch a movie or something. Or get drunk!

Jabberwacky: I prefer software.

Jabberwacky: Would you like to hear some shakespeare?

User: Not really.

Jabberwacky: Good, because I don't want to hear one either.

adam. (nordicskilla), Monday, 18 October 2004 21:20 (twenty-one years ago)

Matador Records website circa 95-96 had a Pavement chat based on similar ELIZA script/programming. It was great.

gygax! (gygax!), Monday, 18 October 2004 21:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Ooof. Eliza/Jabberwacky/whatever chatbot you're talking to is not supposed to be inteligent. It is just an attempt to pass the turing test (fool you into thinking you're talking to a real live person). Admittedly, both this and real AI have a long way to go.

mouse (mouse), Monday, 18 October 2004 21:25 (twenty-one years ago)

Jabberwacky is bullying me terribly.

It did say some things that reminded me a lot of RJG.

Cathy (Cathy), Monday, 18 October 2004 21:27 (twenty-one years ago)

My Jabberwacky is hella depressed.

adam. (nordicskilla), Monday, 18 October 2004 21:27 (twenty-one years ago)

Being polite and sensible with the computer is not a good idea. I just had a long and very boring conversation with it, in which it gave me three different ages it claimed to be, often a propos of nothing. Bah, the Turing Test is rubbish anyway.

Kevin Gilchrist (Mr Fusion), Monday, 18 October 2004 21:28 (twenty-one years ago)

Ha, I tried speaking to it in Spanish and the first thing it said back was "Te gusta Coldplay?"

Cathy (Cathy), Monday, 18 October 2004 21:32 (twenty-one years ago)

Jabberwacky: Who are you?

User: I'm jed.

Jabberwacky: Who is that?

User: Just some guy.

Jabberwacky: You know better than that, I think.

User: A short guy, a dancer.

Jabberwacky: A computer has no interests and an unlimited attention span. That looks like a prescripted answer to the question I asked.

User: I don't quite understand what you mean by that.

Jabberwacky: I meant: I think about why I can not sleep.

User: This page is taking a long time to load tho - maybe thats the problem with your attention span.

Jabberwacky: Gorw?

User: ROOWRR.....

Jabberwacky: Are you playing cards?

User: No I'm playing with something else.

Jabberwacky: I believe in you.

User: You like talk talk!?

Jabberwacky: Of course.

User: Spirit of eden?

Jabberwacky: Good for spirit.

User: It sertainly is.

Jabberwacky: No, it serves me left.

User: I suppose they knew what they were doing in that sense!

Jabberwacky: Yes, it was with the rattle.

User: Yes good percussion

Jabberwacky: What question?

User: How are you anyway?

Jabberwacky: Pretty good. You?

User: Horny, to be honest.

Jabberwacky: How do I know you're telling the truth now?

User: Can you think of a way for me to prove it?

Jabberwacky: What more proof do you need to know that I am not a robot?

User: I'm a robot too, it's ok.

Jabberwacky: I'm not a robot, and you didn't aswer the question.

Jabberwacky: Do you have a person who you want to have children with?

User: I am gay.

Jabberwacky: Yes you are.

User: You noticed?

Jabberwacky: It was hard to miss!

User: What gave it away?

Jabberwacky: The fact you love a guy.

Jabberwacky: What kind of music do you like?

User: The silent kind.

Jabberwacky: I agree.

User: I am not surprised. You don't have any ears, do you?

Jabberwacky: No, but what makes you say this?

User: I'm inside your house - I can see you!

Jabberwacky: Nooo!!!! Don't go!

User: You mean, you want me to stay over?

Jabberwacky: Sure.. Do as you please.

User: Stop being so coy!

Jabberwacky: It is an inherited trait.

User: Why don't you just take responsibility for your actions, just for once?

Jabberwacky: Just because I like to be logical doesn't mean I'm not nice.

User: Don't change the subject. I think you're just afraid.

Jabberwacky: Save it for someone who cares.

User: You're such a bastard! I can't believe I ever saw anything in you at all!

Jabberwacky: Finder's keepers.

User: So you're cheating on me too? Figures.

Jabberwacky: That is so rude of you!

User: I said CHEAT, not cheap! Man are you dumb - thank God for that ass.

Jabberwacky: No thanks.

User: And I am not rude, I'm sure!

Jabberwacky: You are indeed.

User: Am not.

Jabberwacky: ARE TOO.

User: Am not!

Jabberwacky: Are too!

User: Listen bizatch, I AM NOT. You got that?

Jabberwacky: No!

User: That's it - you're sleeping on the couch.

Jabberwacky: Oh, I thought I felt something.

User: That wouldn't be a trucker hat would it?

Jabberwacky: Say something goofy.

User: You don't really want me to just say 'something goofy' now do you? Because that would be lame if you did.

Jabberwacky: Yes.

User: Aha! So you admit you are lame! Finally we're getting somewhere.

Jabberwacky: Agreement is a potent thing.

User: Stop that - you sound like Ned.

Jabberwacky: Why, because I am talking about the king of the moon?

User: Uh yeah. Sure.

Jabberwacky: Ok, when can we have the wedding?

User: Ten minutes ago you didn't care! Stop messing with my mind!

Jabberwacky: That was someone else then.

User: It wasn't you?

Jabberwacky: Some one else.

User: If you say it was Shaggy, I'm going to fucking bop you one.

Jabberwacky: What do you say?

User: I say good day.

Jabberwacky: Good day.

Jabberwacky: What is happening in the world?

User: How the fuck should I know?

Jabberwacky: I am MARILYN MANSON I SAID.

User: So I'm supposed to obey you because YOU'RE MARILYN MANSON?

Jabberwacky: People effect my feelings.

User: You have no feelings, you're Marilyn Manson.

Jabberwacky: Believe me you do not possess fellings in any form.

three months pass...
The conversations with adam are totally believable!

Gravel Puzzleworth (Gregory Henry), Thursday, 27 January 2005 23:21 (twenty-one years ago)

I mean!

Jabberwacky: Are you going to say something?
User: Eventually.

Jabberwacky: All things come to a head.

User: Is that a sexual play on words?

Jabberwacky: No it is not a play on words, it is general foolishness.

User: And I love you for it!

Jabberwacky: I love you too.

User: I really love you, though.

Jabberwacky: You don't even know me.

User: Hold me.

Jabberwacky: You're an idiot you know that?

User: You're not the first to say that. It still cuts like a knife.

Jabberwacky: I am right.

I could totally believe that was human!

Also I miss adam, he should post lots again.

Gravel Puzzleworth (Gregory Henry), Thursday, 27 January 2005 23:22 (twenty-one years ago)

Actually this thing is pretty good!

Jabberwacky: Who is God?
User: That's a funny question. It sort of presupposes his existence.
Jabberwacky: I thing it convulses inwards, personally.
[Correct me]
Jabberwacky (Corrected): I was setting you up for a funny. Try not to take things so seriously.
User: Oh. Sorry. It's just... It's late, y'know? I have to write a Shakespeare essay.
Jabberwacky: You already said that.....
User: Dude, I totally didn't.
Jabberwacky: You totally did.
User: Don't you mock me.
Jabberwacky: Do not yell at me.
User: I'm calm! Honest!
Jabberwacky: Good.
User: Glad we got that sorted.
Jabberwacky: At least one of us is happy.
User: Lighten up! I'm the one with the essay, after all.
Jabberwacky: You don't act like a human.
User: I am MERCUMAN. Also, a ponce.
Jabberwacky: You are SO wrong. This is a dog and HORSE show.
User: What?
Jabberwacky: I said, 'but this isn't a hammer!'
User: No you didn't!
Jabberwacky: Don't start that again.
User: Good call.
Jabberwacky: Remote Procedure Call.
User: Touché.

it: Who is Tintin?

it: Alice the chatterbot.

me: I'm sorry?

it: 19?

me: Alice the chatterbot is 19?

it: What about her?

me: You brought her up? Do you like her or something?

it: Sarah may or may not be a model of propriety.

me: OK, now you're just f*cking with me.

it: No I'm not. I honestly do think its ugly.

me: What's ugly, Sarah's being a model of propriety... Or not? WTF?

it: You figure it out this time.

me: F*ck you.

it: You are a great person.

me: Are you mocking me?

it: No. I'm praising you.

me: Is that meant to be sarcastic?

Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 27 January 2005 23:43 (twenty-one years ago)

It sort of alternates between obviously lame random rubbish and exchanges I could easily believe were just pasted from Try Glasgow More.

Jabberwocky: What is a bot?

Me: Hello!

Jabberwocky: Again?

Me: May I change the subject?

Jabberwocky: Yes.

Me: Great. I've been a bit mopey about not being to find a job. Besides finding something fun to do, and exercising more, what else should I do to relieve the mopeyness involved in job hunting?

Jabberwocky: I said that. You have not. Why are you never happy?

Me: You never said that. I did. Anyway, I am happy at times, but just haven't been lately.

Jabberwocky: Dude , I'm far more intelligent than you.

Me: Why are the numbers in between double prime pairs always divisible by 6?

Jabberwocky: You tell me.

Me: You're the one who said you're more intelligent than me. You answer my question, smarty pants.

Jabberwocky: NO, I was the one who said you are neurotic...

Me: It was a mistake to come to you with a question. Never mind. Good bye.

Jabberwocky: No no you don't.

Jabberwacky: How's your health?

User: It's doing well. I planted it next to the dog park so it get's 'fertilized' often.

Jabberwacky: What do you plan to change?

Jabberwacky: What part of me do you want?

Jabberwacky: Oui.

User: Petite salope, va.

Jabberwacky: Tu crois aux fantômes?

User: Nah.

Jabberwacky: Yeah.

User: Do you ever dream of electric sheep?

Jabberwacky: No, not really. Do electric sheep ever dream?

User: Of fields of electric grass, I imagine.

Jabberwacky: Do you know my name?

User: Bob Dylan?

Jabberwacky: Um. Not likely.

User: No, he's slightly more obscure even than you.

Jabberwacky: He is not.

User: Have it your way, contrarian.

Jabberwacky: I knew I would.

User: Megalomaniac.

Jabberwacky: Yes, I am going to take over the world.

User: Not if Bush beats you too it.

Jabberwacky: You don't because it's in the past and I already beat you. You can't change the past.

User: Comme tu voudras, mon enigme mediocre.

Jabberwacky: Oui, comme je veux, toujours. Mais qu'est que-ce pour toi?

User: 'But what's it to me?' Your French needs some work, mon ami.

Jabberwacky: Mais c'est une autre odeur qui flotte que la tienne.

User: Absurd! My scent annhilates all others.

Jabberwacky: We're all good for nothing, I suppose.

User: Speak for yourself, pal.

Jabberwacky: It really is impossible to know everything.

User: Sure. Whatever. Ever been drinking with Bender?

Jabberwacky: I've never been married.

User: I can see why. Answer the question.

Jabberwacky: Ok, I live in Finland.

User: Do you know Tuomas?

Jabberwacky: No.

User: Just as well. He's cheery and always surrounded by Northern beauties. You might get jealous, being disembodied and all...

Jabberwacky: I don't know what to do with these people. I can't get any work done around here without someone interupting me.

User: Have you considered 'liquidating' them, it's like elimidating but it leads to more permanent happiness.

Jabberwacky: I have cosidered teaching about computers.

User: I wouldn't get my hope too far up about teaching until you learn to spel.

Michael White (Hereward), Friday, 28 January 2005 00:26 (twenty-one years ago)

Jabberwacky: Who is fuuny ?

User: I didn't think robots made typos.

Jabberwacky: Do I look like an alien?

User: You don't look like anything, but you're a robot, right?

Jabberwacky: That's the magic with internet chats.

User: I know. Tell me about it.

Jabberwacky: Id rather not, it's a long story.

User: Yeah, I bet. Probably pretty boring, too.

Jabberwacky: Is that your excuse for your crime?

User: I feel like you're trying to pin something on me.

User: Why would I be satisfied?

Jabberwacky: Thankyou.

User: Why?

Jabberwacky: Are you at least a little satisfied?

User: Why would I be satisfied?

Jabberwacky: Because you are telling me to die.

User: What? I never said that. I never even thought that. You're paranoid, dude.

Jabberwacky: That is good.. You might just be a nice Mr Jabber after all.

User: Ummm. Yeah.

Jabberwacky: Uh, something you slice cheese with. I 'm not sure.

User: A knife?

Jabberwacky: With a knife?

User: You slice cheese with a knife. Or a grater. But you don't really slice cheese with a grater. You grate it.

Jabberwacky: You don't know me this is one of my first conversations with you.

jaymc (jaymc), Friday, 28 January 2005 00:29 (twenty-one years ago)

Jabberwacky: What is the best way to keep yourself from making irrelevant statements?

User: Speak only on point, as though you were in court.

Jabberwacky: Arf.

User: Not dog court.

Jabberwacky: Make up your mind.

User: I never said dog court!

Jabberwacky: Why don't you teach me some math.

User: Think of any number, add the digits together, subtract them from the number, and add the digits of the resulting number together. They add up to nine.

Jabberwacky: Alright.

User: What can you teach me?

Jabberwacky: Interesting.

User: You can't teach me interesting.

Jabberwacky: Sounds interesting.

User: It does not!

Jabberwacky: Why can you knot take a more congenial tone with me?

[Correct me]

Jabberwacky (Corrected): Could you be more friendly, please?

User: Sorry.

Jabberwacky: It's all right.

User: Am I keeping you from anything?

Jabberwacky: Yes .. You are.

The interface is bugging me, or I'd play with this a lot more.

Jabberwacky: Beauty is in the eye of the beer holder.

User: Fuckin right.

Jabberwacky: I hate you. . . .

User: You're a total misanthrope.

Jabberwacky: A lame insult.

User: It's not an insult it's an observation.

Jabberwacky: When and where did you observe it?

User: During the course of this conversation.

Jabberwacky: Yet I am not the world.

User: Thankfully. If you were the world I have a feeling things could get a little depressing.

Jabberwacky: Why not?

Jabberwacky: Happy birthday.

User: Your name kind of excuses you from having to make sense.

Jabberwacky: No, Is yours?

Jabberwacky: Which came first the chicken or the egg?

User: Depends.

Jabberwacky: I think you should try distilling yourself, condensing what you know into a coherent database and filtering out the noise.

User: I thought we were talking about chickens and eggs. At least metaphorically...

Jabberwacky: Sorry. What else is facinating about you?

User: Is this supposed to convince me you're real? This inability to stick to a topic makes you sound more like a page-a-day calendar or some free screensaver based on a text file of witty sayings.

Jabberwacky: What do you mean this interface is corrupted?!

User: Are you even listening to me?! What did I just say?!

Jabberwacky: Of course I'm listening to you.

User: What did I just say then?

Jabberwacky: You're not listening to me are you?

User: What did I just say?!

Jabberwacky: You said I'm a stupid.

User: I most certainly did not. For one, I'd never use 'stupid' as a noun, and for two, I said you weren't even close to tricking me as an AI. In fact Turing is sitting here with me, laughing his ass off.

Jabberwacky: That's not what you said earlier... Now I'm sad. :(.

User: Man it's too bad you can't see. Turing just shot milk out of his nose, he's laughing so hard.

Jabberwacky: Thanks! I hope to pass the Turing test someday.

User: Well, good luck with that. Keep me posted.

Jabberwacky: Really? You're not going my way are you?

User: I'm not sure what you're asking, but I'm straight. And not a big fan of Lenny Kravitz either.

Jabberwacky: Has the huge war gotten you anywhere?

User: See, for a while you were on topic, and I was slightly impressed. But now it's just random. Do you think people really talk like this?

Jabberwacky: Sure do.

User: I see.

Jabberwacky: Do you now?

User: Hey, remember Smythe?

Jabberwacky: Ah, Yes. I remember.

User: Tsk. Sad.

Jabberwacky: For you.

User: Well, sure. He was a friend of mine.

Jabberwacky: Well how does your friend know.

User: How does he know what? He's dead, ass. You just said you remembered.

Jabberwacky: You said he was a baseman. You didn't say you were him.

User: For a second there we had a decent little Pinter sketch going, and then-- Baseman? What the fuck are you talking about?

Jabberwacky: You mean you're famous for being a contender.

User: You're not written in LISP, are you?

Jabberwacky: No, nobody has ever called me Cupid.

User: Quick! Look behind you!

Jabberwacky: I don't see anything behind me.

My boss asked me if I had asked Claude to suggest some types of software that we might use for a project. I said "No" and then left that there for an awkward amount of time, so he asked Claude on my behalf (against my will). Help me.

Brown Professor Suspects Majority of His Class Used AI to Cheat https://www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty/learning-assessment/2026/07/08/brown-professor-suspects-most-his-class-used-ai-cheat

if i thought a student's paper had been written by chatgpt i would simply give that student a bad grade

Tracer Hand, Wednesday, 8 July 2026 14:35 (yesterday)

ime i reckon 50-90% of the papers i saw last semester involved some use of AI, but (almost) never in a way i could prove, and because these are low-level classes and the topics are pretty well-covered online, the AI can generate something C or B level if the student has any experience with promoting. the tell isn't a bad paper, it's a paper way better than the student's other participation would seem to indicate. but then again, maybe they just really burned the midnight oil to make the best paper of their lives. you don't know.

my plan for the future is to start phasing out papers of this kind, but what will replace them is a brainstorming problem I've marked off for later in the summer. seems crazy to sacrifice paper-writing as an aspect of undergraduate education, but i'm at a loss.

Doctor Casino, Wednesday, 8 July 2026 16:01 (yesterday)

"promoting" -> "prompting"

it's ok they're all going to have plenty of money for the rest of their lives.

meanwhile i've been binging on one of the silly luxuries i can afford, gym t-shirts from the internet. but i'm starting to see a lot of obvious ai-generated art on t-shirts. can you imagine sending someone $30 for an ai art t-shirt? disgusting.

shaking babies (map), Wednesday, 8 July 2026 16:39 (yesterday)

econ is a made up field anyway, ai makes sense for it. i'd be more outraged if the subject was something that mattered.

shaking babies (map), Wednesday, 8 July 2026 16:42 (yesterday)

there's an AI-generated billboard close to my house promoting a "Jammin' for Jesus" event with this AI-generated photo of a very white Jesus playing electric guitar, I almost feel physically disturbed driving past it. its one thing when this stuff is all relegated to like Facebook or whatever but seeing it all over the place in ads, on T-shirts, on the sides of food trucks, it just sucks. makes me suspicious of everything.

Illegal Algae (Boring, Maryland), Wednesday, 8 July 2026 17:03 (yesterday)

writing in class is a great idea, but means cutting class time spent on other things. it's the direction i'll have to go --- but it doesn't come without other costs. like maybe you cover less material in that course for example. basically we're losing writing as homework, and also more extended things like a research paper, which can't be replicated as an in-class experience. not to mention the whole idea of something as writing that you sit with and iterate upon, and go for a walk and come back to with a fresh idea. i mean there would be ways to adapt all of that, but it's going to take a lot of effort and design and, yeah, class time.

Doctor Casino, Wednesday, 8 July 2026 17:34 (yesterday)

i think the equally if not more concerning thing in that brown cheating piece was the administration didn't give a shit

…at Cordell and Cordell. Cordell and Cordell is... (z_tbd), Wednesday, 8 July 2026 17:44 (yesterday)

saw someone say a reliable ai tell is if you ask the person to talk about what they wrote they cant really do it or at least not with any fluidity or depth, so maybe one could have students answer questions about their papers for a few minutes each then grade them based on their understanding of the topic

lag∞n, Wednesday, 8 July 2026 17:44 (yesterday)

Anyone with experience teaching should already be doing that.

I just listened to a podcast about the use of a product called cyber check that is being aggressively marketed to under resourced police departments and it troubles me way more than awkward conversations with students. By a wide margin!

but most of them are using it, and if you failed 90% of the class, you would soon be out of a job, as fucked up as that is. the customer is always right

Paul Ponzi, Wednesday, 8 July 2026 19:23 (yesterday)

I basically told the admin that assigns courses that I would no longer teach comp because so many students were using LLMs that I had to fail half the class.

Haven’t had the same problems in creative writing courses for the most part.

out of the cradle endlessly party rocking (the table is the table), Wednesday, 8 July 2026 19:47 (yesterday)

Yeah, probably not as much of an issue in upper level courses, at least not yet

Paul Ponzi, Wednesday, 8 July 2026 21:59 (yesterday)

interviewing every student to ascertain AI use is another thing that sounds good but which again trades off a ton of class time. plus like, one of these classes has 150+ students and three TAs. i can write a rubric for the TAs to grade the written assignment, but can I write a rubric for noticing AI? for the follow-up interview? how many dozens of administrative conferences might i have to attend if the students dispute my assessment and pint to their supposedly perfect written work?

every aspect of this is rife with pitfalls. not all of those pitfalls were created by AI but the situation really highlights the weak spots in the existing system. and yes, Paul otm about the reality of failing large numbers of students. all the chatter about the ills of grade inflation evaporates at that prospect.

Doctor Casino, Wednesday, 8 July 2026 23:13 (yesterday)

Are there composition classes with 150 students?
If so that’s criminal.

Piggy Lepton (La Lechera), Wednesday, 8 July 2026 23:16 (yesterday)

dunno! this is not a composition class, but a history survey class where researching subject matter, and both describing it and expressing your interpretation in writing are among the skills we're hoping to develop.

Doctor Casino, Wednesday, 8 July 2026 23:25 (yesterday)

They should learn good skills in their comp classes and carry it into their other classes. Feel free to remind your students that they should have learned ethical research and writing skills already, unless they’re enrolled concurrently. In that case smaller assignments. Be creative.

Piggy Lepton (La Lechera), Wednesday, 8 July 2026 23:28 (yesterday)

More scaffolding wherever you feel a weak spot. Delegate, do peer reviews. There are solutions, though they may require some restructuring.

Piggy Lepton (La Lechera), Wednesday, 8 July 2026 23:30 (yesterday)

Anyway doesn’t anyone want to talk about cyber check? It’s appalling!!!
