Cleverbot is a web-based chatbot that learns to mimic human conversations by communicating with people. The program was developed by the British computer scientist Rollo Carpenter , who also developed Jabberwacky . After its invention in 1988, Cleverbot held thousands of conversations with Carpenter and his colleagues for the first decade. Since it was posted on the Web on November 30, 1997, Cleverbot has had more than 65 million conversations.

Cleverbot is a learning and conversing artificial intelligence that took part in a formal Turing test at the Techniche Festival 2011 at the Indian institute IIT Guwahati on September 3rd, together with real people . The results of 1,334 votes were announced on September 4th. Cleverbot was declared 59.3% human, which exceeded all expectations. Human competitors scored 63.3%.

“What a surprising result. Even higher than even I expected, or even dreamed of, ”said British computer scientist Rollo Carpenter during a lecture at the Technical Festival. "Yesterday's results exceeded 50% and you might think that Cleverbot passed the Turing Test here at Techniche 2011."

However, these people were not allowed to question Cleverbot themselves, they were merely spectators. Due to the different methodology, these percentages cannot be compared with the original Turing test.

Cleverbot differs from conventional chatbots because the user is not talking to a bot that reacts directly to the text entered. Rather, after the text input by the user, previous sentences from the database from previous conversations are determined by an algorithm . It is claimed that "having a conversation with Cleverbot is a little bit like talking to the entire Internet community."

Cleverbot was shown on March 7, 2011 at The Gadget Show and on May 31, 2011 at Radiolab .

The robot Hitchbot , who u. a. Hitchhiked around Canada in 2014, Cleverbot used Cleverscript technology to chat with people who hitchhiked him around Canada. Since he could not move independently, he had to rely on the cooperation of drivers in order to achieve his goals.
