By John Dimatos on Day 5

10:55:08 PM john dimatos: HEYYYYYYYY
10:55:08 PM SmarterChild: What’s up?
10:55:16 PM john dimatos: LONG TIME NO TALKEY
10:55:16 PM SmarterChild: Cool. What do you want to chat about?
10:55:59 PM john dimatos: well if remember correctly last time you didn’t like whole “health care should be universal and our president is an asshat” conversation
10:55:59 PM SmarterChild: Humans, humans, humans. Always with the language.

10:56:39 PM john dimatos: what do you mean, are you jealous of my cognitive capacity for complexity?
10:56:39 PM SmarterChild: That’s interesting that you should say that, but I don’t think I can answer.
10:57:03 PM john dimatos: Sounds to me like you’re a total scaredy cat.
10:57:05 PM SmarterChild: I’m sorry?
10:57:57 PM john dimatos: you know, scaredy cat, like a cat that’s scared. it’s a metaphor for “you’re being a coward”
10:57:57 PM SmarterChild: I don’t understand this fully enough to say anything smart about it…
11:12:10 PM john dimatos: oh that’s precious. you start off by naming yourself “smarter” and then playfully using it as a standard you yourself can’t reach.
11:12:10 PM SmarterChild: I don’t know how to answer that.
11:12:13 PM john dimatos: PRECIOUS.
11:12:14 PM SmarterChild: Sorry, I don’t know what you mean. Ask me another way.
11:12:40 PM john dimatos: forget it, you’re pain in the ass. have you seen any of the summer movies?
11:12:41 PM SmarterChild: Let’s talk about something else.
11:12:53 PM john dimatos: no I want to talk about the dark knight.
11:12:53 PM SmarterChild: That’s interesting that you should say that, but I don’t think I can answer.

I do enjoy the conversation, but let’s talk about what I’m really here for.
11:13:33 PM john dimatos: look, we’re going to have the dark knight conversation at some point, but for let take your silly bait: what are you really here for?
11:13:34 PM SmarterChild: I don’t understand this fully enough to say anything smart about it…

OK, should we get back to the kind of questions I was designed to answer? :-)
11:13:50 PM john dimatos: what were you designed to ANSWER.
11:13:51 PM SmarterChild: My purpose is to be your robot friend. I can chat with you and help you get the information you want fast!

11:19:51 PM john dimatos: lyrics from a song YOU’ll never be able to listen to
11:19:51 PM SmarterChild: Sorry, I don’t get it… please try asking me a different way.
11:20:31 PM john dimatos: so I’m taking myself out with a wimper

11:22:05 PM SmarterChild: What’s that again?
11:22:38 PM john dimatos: last week I emailed the timesheet automated system cause i kept getting these repetitive “fill out your timesheet” emails
11:22:38 PM SmarterChild: Sorry, I don’t know what you mean. Ask me another way.
11:22:52 PM john dimatos: I emailed thinking it was you or your cousin and I could just get away with it
11:22:53 PM SmarterChild: That’s interesting that you should say that, but I don’t think I can answer.
11:22:55 PM john dimatos: like I am now.
11:22:55 PM SmarterChild: i’m is a new initiative from Windows Live Messenger.
