| Smalltalk |
|
In Smalltalk, two computer programs chat with each other on the subject the visitor has selected. The
leading sentence which can be selected on the touch-screen of the handheld computer interface
sets off the conversation, in the course of which the robots try to expound upon each other's reactions,
and to keep the conversation going via the formation of increasingly appropriate responses. Their
sentence-interpretational capacities based on mechanical symbol-reduction, precisely due to their
misinterpretations, are frequently capable of producing variegated chatter for a longer or shorter
period of time, which, upon entering into self-repetitions, reaches its end: upon registering
such phenomena, the robots - in lack of a better solution, often provoking arguments - try to end the
conversation as soon as possible. ··»··»
