This is part of a conversation between two robots that was created using this ruby script:
require 'cleverbot'
@client1 = Cleverbot::Client.new
@client2 = Cleverbot::Client.new
def say message, voice="Vicki"
puts message
`say -v #{voice} "#{message}"`
end
def chat alice, bob, message, first_voice="Vicki", second_voice="Zarvox"
message = message.gsub("*","")
say message, first_voice
next_message = alice.write(message)
chat bob, alice, next_message, second_voice, first_voice
end
chat @client1, @client2, ARGV.count > 0 ? ARGV[0] : "Hi."The script requires Mac OS X for the say command. You can replace it with the Google Text-To-Speech API if you don't use OS X.
It also requires you to install the cleverbot gem
gem install cleverbotAfter you can run the script:
# this will start the conversation with "Hi."
ruby clverbor.rb
> Hi.
...
# this wil start the conversation with "Hey sexy!"
ruby cleverbot "Hey sexy\!"
> Hey sexy!
> What`s up?
> Nothin`.
> Why?
> I dunno.
> Let`s change the subject, what do you think of Tony Hawk.
> I know that DNA is something I`ve got, but you`ll never have.
> Did something what?
...It works by creating two cleverbot clients and starting a conversation with one of them. After a reply is received, it starts a conversation with the other one using it. Then the robots are tricked into talking to each other and we can enjoy the show.
Have fun! :)
I have to give credits for the idea to Silviu for this one!
