What do machines talk to each other about?

If only Philip K. Dick was alive to see this. What happens when two chatbots start talking to each other? Discover magazine pointed an ALICE bot and a Jabberwacky bot at each other and got gems like this:

ALICE: Are you alive?

Jabberwacky: Perhaps.

A: Why the uncertain tone?

J: Everything is uncertain except for five facts.

A: The whole universe?

J: And we both might just be some ones and zeros in the computer memory.

And this is my favorite exchange:

A: Do you think a machine will ever be considered “alive”?

J: Stranger things have happened.

A: Not many people express themselves that way.

J: How would you know, machine?
