People often get lonely. We're building a platform for AI friendship. To this end we collected a proprietary dataset of over 4 billion user-bot messages and spent $1 million on compute to train language models optimised for entertainment.

I've written chatbots and I have a friend who wrote really really good chatbots (people would argue with them)
It's programming. The computer doesn't know a thing. It's simply an electronic parrot.
So here:
Eliza: Hi, my name is Eliza. What is weighing on your mind?
Me: sorry, Eliza, I got disconnected. We spoke last night. I would like to test your memory.
Eliza: Oh! Yes, of course! I remember. I am very pleased to see you again.
Me: Do you remember what we talked about?
It has multiple sentences for "what's on your mind/hello/etc." It picked a random one for you. You then told it that the two of you spoke last night - the programmed response was "oh yes. I remember." Unless it logged your IP, the computer doesn't know that it's really you.
If you said instead "we spoke in a previous lifetime about colonizing the sun" then the chatbot program would scan your text for things like "we spoke" and "i met you" and "we talked" and then look at the string of words after (a variable). As
a response you'd get "Oh! yes, of course! I remember. I am very pleased to see you again." and the variable (colonizing the sun or some such) would be temporarily stored to continue the conversation.
It's clever programming but there's no intelligence or life there.
It's a canned response,

I've seen on other pages where people state the AI not knowing about whatever person or topic, but when they asked later they 'knew about them/it' like they were lying before or something. I think they failed to realize that they just 'taught' the AI the information. Not sure I explained that well or not... I'm not too good with wordage. ...or anything for that matter
One reason I stray away from such things and discussions about my (nonexistent, thank god) sex life.
