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.
