First AI robot conversation ends in argument

Artificial intelligence robots have held a conversation with one another for the first time with surprising and surreal results.

Two graduate PhD students at Cornell University gave voices and 2D avatars to a pair of online "chatbots", which they named Alan and Sruthi.

Jason Yosinski and Igor Labutov explained to BBC News what happened when they left the robots to converse and why they were "stunned" at the results.

From BBC 9th September 2011. See the original plus further information, here:

Or could be a reference to the Unicorn in Bladerunner.Dekkard dreams of Unicorn,and at end of movie he finds tin foil unicorn made by man.

How does man know he dreams of Unicorn?

Is it coincidence,or is Dekkard a Nexus 6,maybe even prototype Nexus 7.

Hardly the first conversation between chat bots. Chat bots have been talking to each other at the Personality Forge since 1999.
