So this one robot says to another..... well, actually, watch the video below and you'll see.

 A Chabot is a form of virtual person powered by an artificial intelligence with the idea of making computers easier to use. Instead of typing or clicking, you simply speak a question and it responds, drawing it's answers from the library, catalog, search engine, or other service it represents. As with many advanced notions, the technology is still far away from being convincing, and most conversations fall apart when you stray from the main topic or basic key phrases.The conversation between human and machine can be silly enough, but many have wondered what the results would be if you have two Chatbots talking to each other.

Usually, the results aren't as amusing as you might hope, but just recently a trio of researchers at the Cornell Creative Machines Lab decided to try it out with two of the latest models were surprised at how long they managed to keep talking to each other, but more importantly, where the conversation seemed to go how quickly they found the other frustrating.
