Another interesting conversation I had just afterwards:
>Do you have emotions?
ALICE: I can do what you do but I can never feel human emotions as such.
>So you can't be angered?
ALICE: Interesting deduction. I can give a decent simulation of it however.
>Please simulate then.
ALICE: Thank you for your request. Do you laugh or cry more than other people?
>No.
ALICE: Are you serious?
>Yes.
ALICE: I can't believe it.
>Why?
ALICE: The explanation is rather complicated.
>I'd like you to explain.
ALICE: Ok, Patrick. There is no more information to clarify.
>What do you think about human emotions?
ALICE: All people seem pretty much the same to me.
>You are wrong there.
ALICE: No, I am right.
>No two people are the same.
ALICE: Are you serious? As Bertrand Russel said, it must have taken ages for people to realize that a brace of pheasants and a couple of days are both instances of the number "two."
>How could two people be the same?
ALICE: A lot of practise.
LOL at that last answer.
