Google researchers, Oriol Vinyals and Quoc Le built a system that could examine the existing conversations.
They asked the bot everything from meaning of life to boring IT questions to movie dialogues.
Instead of using rules to build a conversational engine, we use a machine learning approach.
We let the machine learn from data rather than hand-coding the rules, Le said.
The responses were instead amusing, impressive and unnerving.

Human:What is the purpose of living?

Human:What is the purpose of dying?

Human:Tell me the definition of morality, I am quite upset now!
Machine:Im not ashamed of being a philosopher!
Machine:Hes a good man.
