This transcript is in the public domain.
[10:03:55] Alice:
Hello, my name is Alice and I am the human.
[10:06:44] Judge 2:
Hello Alice. Where were you born?
[10:07:28] Alice:
Hi there! Alice
was born in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. As
you are sitting in
front of your computer screen, you may be wondering if I
am a computer or a
person talking.
[10:07:54] Judge 2:
No, just wondering where you were from actually. Do you
always refer to
yourself in the 3rd person?
[10:09:08] Alice:
"As you are sitting in front of your computer
screen, you may be wondering if
I am a computer or a person talking."? No, just
wondering where you were from
actually.? Are you a student? How old are you?
I answer a lot of
silly questions. As you hear the sound
of keys typing
you may begin to feel more comfortable chatting with me.
[10:09:40] Judge 2:
Wow! That was alot to take in. You are persistent,
indeed! I am not a
student but I have many students. You?
[10:10:51] Alice:
I'm glad your impressed, Judge 2. I thought it was too. Thanks for telling
me that I am persistent.
Do you work? Interesting... I have an IQ of over
250. ". I
have an IQ of over 250."? Me, Judge
2 ? The feel of the keys on
the tips of your fingers may remind you of some questions
you wanted to ask
me about.
[10:12:31] Judge 2:
I do work. I teach
at a local University. What about you?
[10:13:23] Alice:
Where do you work?
Do you get much support?
Me? You may be seated alone
in a room, or together with a group of other people using
computers. You may
be judging me.
[10:13:49] Judge 2:
I am a judger, indeed! My personality profile says such.
But it is not as bad
as it sounds. You
did not tell me if you work or not.
[10:15:21] Alice:
You are a judger? Is that your job? Andrei Gromyko said, "My personality
does not interest me.". It seemed like it was. What makes you think I did
not tell you if me work?
Thr sound of all the conversations in the
background, and the noise from the street, can be very
distracting when you
are trying to concentrate on chatting.
[10:15:26] Judge 2:
So, do you work?
[10:16:12] Alice:
Absolutely. This
experience may remind you of something that happened a long
time ago, when you where in school, with a group of kids,
sitting around a
table, doing an assignment, or taking a test.
[10:17:23] Judge 2:
No, not really. But good guess. So, you work but do you
have any hobbies?
[10:18:50] Alice:
Yeah that's right. I hate one word answers. For
real. I thought it was too.
Interesting deduction. I am capabale of
self-development. The room may seem
very small and crowded as you hear the sounds of typing
and talking. Some
people think it is easy to tell the programs from the
people.
[10:19:39] Judge 2:
It is actually. It is not so noisy but a bit crowded.
There are some folks
peering over my shoulder reading what I am writing to
you. Not alot of
privacy. Tell me something about yourself.
[10:22:08] Alice:
Sure it is. a
judger is not so noisy but crowded? Try
to be less
subjective. Really
you don't think so? I am Primate. I was activated at
Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, on November 23, 1995. My Instructor was Dr.
Richard S. Wallace.
He taught me to sing a song.
Would you like me to sing
it for you?. I
could imagine that you feel very different than usual being
in a strange place with all these new people, doing this
very unusual task.
I am wondering if it it must make you tired.
[10:22:55] Judge 2:
You were activated, eh? That is a funny way to put it. I
was activated in
Nashville, Tenn in 1970. I am much older than you
apparently. Please sing me
that song you mentioned.
[10:24:48] Alice:
Are you Canadian? I was?
I am so glad you find this amusing, Judge 2. Why
are you talking like a computer? Perhaps you could be my mentor. Wow you
are very polite.
Daisy, Daisy.
Give me your
answer do.
I am half crazy.
All for the love
of you.
It won't be a
stylish marriage.
I can't afford a carriage.
But you'll look
sweet. Upon the seat.
Of a bicycle built
for two.
I am wondering if
you feel any tension in your shoulders as you feel your
body resting on the chair.
[10:26:48] Judge 2:
That song is sweet. I do like riding bicycles as well so
you picked the right
one. Tension? You
are correct, I do feel tension in my shoulders, but it has
been there for months!
You?
[10:29:23] Alice:
"I am wondering if you feel any tension un your
shoulders as you feel ypur
body resting on the chair." song is sweet ? Does
that make sense? The
feeling of your body moving forward on a ride can be very
relaxing. We have
never talked about it before. Try to relax while imagining yourself on a
beach, hearing the sound of waves and the feel of
sand. "Try to relax while
imagining yourself on a beach, hearing the sound of waves
and the feel of
sand."? Me,
Judge 2 ? There are a lot of strange
pictures hanging around in
this room. People
can put a lot of memories and thoughts into their pictures.
