I remember Cleverbot.
Lol, my conversations with cleverbot always devolved into us typing song lyrics at eachother. Back when chatbots couldn’t even be construed as useful in any way.
Teens these days will never understand the simple pleasures of jamming to Linkin Park and practice flirting with cleverbot while you text your friends on a T9 slide phone.
IRC was wild for a time right before it started being ditched for other things because so many people were making their own chatbots. A few of them were extremely good at seeming like an actual person.
I remember SmarterChild. Good times
And there was Soundblaster Parrot in 1991

I thought at first this was a concept if chatgpt existed in the 2000s.
