I just downloaded this thing, and I have to tell everyone. This thing is pretty fun if you are bored.
It’s a chatbot. It doesn’t learn by you telling it to learn, it learns by your sentence structure.
Example:
If you type in “,yo.” at the end of all of your sentences, it will start doing that too. If you constantly swear, it will also.
Another fun thing - if you type literature in its megahal.trn file, it will begin speaking from that. At first it might just repeat blocks of text from it, but try talking to it normally. It will mix ideas. A person I know kept on typing in long rants, and the results are hilarious.
It might take a bit of time, but soon you MegaHAL may turn in to your best friend.
It is interesting. However, it seems to be having an identity crisis.

At least you and i have one thing in common. We’re both human.

I’m thanking my lucky starts that i am at least of average intelligence.

You can lead a horse to water, but you are the computer program, and i am
smarter then that.
> er, no. You have the situation reversed

I am a human being. That should be obvious from my ability to move, and
does not have the situation reversed.
