The site Cleverbot.com started in 2006, but the AI was 'born' in 1988, when Rollo Carpenter saw how to make his machine learn. It has been learning ever since!
Things you say to Cleverbot today may influence what it says to others in future. The program chooses how to respond to you fuzzily, and contextually, the whole of your conversation being compared to the millions that have taken place before.
Many people say there is no bot - that it is connecting people together, live. The AI can seem human because it says things real people do say, but it is always software, imitating people.

Cleverbot.com uses cookies to store an anonymous identifier for, and recent lines of, the conversation you hold, plus preferences you choose while using the site. These 'first party' cookies are not shared with any other parties, and are used only for the purpose of Cleverbot serving.
If you create and sign in to a Cleverbot social account on the blue bar at the top, additional cookies will store your account identifier and signed in status. Again, these are not shared with any third parties.
'Third Party' cookies may be set and read by the code of advertisements on this site. Advertising revenue is necessary to fund the powerful machines required for Cleverbot's AI, and we ask that you do not use ad blockers.
Advertisers will never know the contents of your conversations, but their own cookies, if your browser and its settings allow, may be used to track activity and purchasing behaviour across multiple sites, and such information means you may see personalised and non-personalised ads.
