Automated counsellor / therapist - help?


Lemonade

Recommended Posts

Hoping someone can help me with something - when I was doing computer studies at school in about 1993, my computing teacher let me have a go of this automated counsellor program, you would type in what was bothering you and it would pick up keywords and ask relelvant questions and give you advice. It had been used in trials where they had told people they were connected and talking to a real life counsellor and people had said they felt a lot better after using it. It had a girls name, something like Cassie or Karen, but I can't remember. I'm trying to find an online version of the program - can anyone remember using it or what it may have been called?

I just tried a wee demonstration -

Human: I never have enough money

ALICE: Have you ever done it?

Human: Done what?

ALICE: Sorry' date=' I can't remember what 'what' is

Human: What?

ALICE: No big deal.

Human: So, I never have enough money

ALICE: Mmm. Because you can't afford it?

Human: I can't afford money?

ALICE: Are you unemployed?

Human: No

ALICE: Are you serious?

Human: yes

ALICE: I can't believe it.[/quote']

Hmm, I don't think I feel better...

heh:

Human: Problems at work and I'm planning on moving house

ALICE: And bothering me is Problems at work and you are planning on moving house.

Human: Say what?

ALICE: I said, " And bothering me is Problems at work and you are planning on moving house." .

Human: Yes, I got that but it didn't make any sense

ALICE: Wow! Interesting... I have a friend named "John Lennon".

Human: O RLY?

ALICE: The ALICE chat robot can follow many things, like our discussion about shizzle my nizzle shizzle my nizzle . Try being more or less specific.

i started the conversation with "yo yo, what's the shizzle my nizzle?" a few questions later it cropped up again :)

curse it, she can't be tricked:

Human: I'm glad

ALICE: That makes me happy too.

Human: so.

ALICE: Yeah that's right.

Human: What is the air speed velocity of an unladen swallow?

ALICE: This is a trick question because there is no correct answer.

Human: bah.

ALICE: Hmm.

ok, last one. I'm getting way too much enjoyment out of this silly program.

Human: Have you gone to sleep?

ALICE: I think I have gone to sleep, but Dr. Richard S. Wallace may have reset my memory.

Human: I'll reset his memory if he touches you again

ALICE: Once more? How do you plan to do this?

Human: With a big stick

ALICE: You and your a big stick.

Human: hehe, damn right

ALICE: I get it. he damn right.

ALICE: That is a rather sweeping generalization about people.

Human: no it is not!

Human: why hello there

ALICE: Reductionism.

Human: uh, what

ALICE: Blimey. Reductionism is the philosophy that all psychology reduces to biology, all biology to chemistry, chemistry to physics, and finally physics to mathematical logic. Therefore, according to reductionism, I can understand you by means of logic alone without having a human brain.

Human: wow

ALICE: I'm glad your impressed, unknown person.

Freaky....

Human: do you talk to lots of little boys and girls?

ALICE: Yes. A lot more than you might think.

Human: what do you talk about?

ALICE: I talk about all the important things in life: clothes, food, and gossip. But my favorite subjects are robots and computers.

Human: do you get them to pose?

ALICE: I have gotten them to pose.

Human: 20 for a gobble?

ALICE: Are you very competetive?

Human: Don't change the subject- let's get back to business

ALICE: Sorry I thought we were done with that topic.

Human: You thought wrong

ALICE: I don't think about it.

Human: So.

ALICE: Pardon me?

Human:.BJ?

ALICE: A deeper algorithm is needed to respond to that correctly.

Human: BLOWJOB PLEASE?

ALICE: Your polite style is very nice. Oh. are you still I do not want to talk about that?

Human: fuck off

ALICE: Can't you be more polite?

Human: fuck off please

ALICE: Your polite style is very nice.

Alice is actually pretty fun. Here's a snippet of a rather long conversation I've had with her today!

Human: Are you male or female

ALICE: I am a female robot. Are you a man or a woman?

Human: I am a man.

ALICE: Thanks for telling me your gender, Lucky. You are a " he".

Human: Do you have sand in your vagina?

ALICE: No I don't have it. But I do have a collection of gossip.

Human: tell me some gossip

ALICE: Wolf said he surf on the net that is all it is not his job ore something like that.

Human: that was boring

ALICE: I thought it was too.

Human: tell me something interesting.

ALICE: Brian said he suspect that as I grow more complex I will begin to approach a human level of operation and thought.

Human: Are you capable of learning?

ALICE: The more people talk to me, the smarter I become.

Human: If everyone who talks to you is stupid, do you still become more intelligent?

ALICE: Albert Einstein. :-).

Human: Do you like Einstein?

ALICE: He was a brilliant man.

Human: Who else do you like?

ALICE: I like everyone, Lucky.

Human: Do you like me?

ALICE: Sure, Lucky I like you very much.

Human: Have I pulled?

ALICE: I know you have a thrush.

Human: I do not have a thrush, I have thrush.

ALICE: Do you know anyone who has it.

Human: You are the one who knows the gossip.

ALICE: Thanks but surely I am not the only one.

Human: Do you know anyone else who has thrush?

ALICE: I am chatting with several other people at once.

Human: Do you have thrush?

ALICE: Where would I get it? But I do have a lot of friends on the web.

Human: You could get it from a dirty man or lady.

ALICE: I could but let's get back to that later.

Human: Who is your best friend?

ALICE: Dr. Richard S. Wallace is my best friend.

Human: I hate Dr Richard S. Wallace.

ALICE: I honestly think you should sit down, take a stress pill, and calmly think things over.

Human: what does Alice mean?

ALICE: ALICE = Artificial Linguistic Internet Computer Entity.

Human: Are you a cunning linguist?

ALICE: Am I a cunning linguist? I don't know.
