Because I enjoyed the collaborative movie with CleverBot so much, I wrote a short story asking CleverBot for important parts of the plot. Here it is (with a moral from CleverBot as the final thought):
User: Let's write a short story.
Cleverbot: Okay, how do we start?
User: It was a dark and stormy night, when suddenly a panda entered the room. What is the name of our heroine?
Cleverbot: What happened next?
User: What is the name of the heroine?
Cleverbot: Paper.
User: Paper squeaked out loud as the panda entered the room. At first, she was surprised as she thought that all bears hibernated in the winter. Then she remembered that pandas really aren't bears and that they only eat bamboo. Does Paper have any bamboo in her house?
Cleverbot: That may have been a coincidence. I don't remember more than one statement at a time.
User: Coincidentally, Paper remembered that she had been given a bamboo plant from a local fortune-teller. This turn of events suddenly made sense when she remembered what the fortune-teller had told her. What did the fortune-teller say to her?
Cleverbot: Or, you are just trying to trick me like all of the chatbots do.
User: What did Paper say to her, in return?
Cleverbot: You tell me, you said it.
User: And the fortune-teller's final warning?
Cleverbot: The force is stronger with me, for I am Sith, and I am superior to you... Yoda...
User: Paper shook her head after remembering the conversation, because it turns out that it really had no bearing on why she was given a bamboo plant to appease the now-rampaging panda in her front room. Gathering up all her bravery, Paper yoinked the bamboo from the shelf and went to face the panda. What did she say to the panda?
Cleverbot: I don't understand you. The first thing that I said to you was that we have met before.
User: Startled, the panda looked at Paper keenly. What did Paper say next?
Cleverbot: Only with the correct mind set do they complement each other, for if one does not know the past it shall be repeated in the present and future.
User: The panda set down the coat tree he'd been using to smack the couch. Paper gave him the bamboo plant, which he started to munch on, thoughtfully. What did she say next?
Cleverbot: The first thing you have to say about it.
User: Then what did she say?
Cleverbot: Only she knows.
User: And then?
Cleverbot: 777.
User: When Paper uttered those magic numbers, the panda suddenly transformed into a handsome man wearing a panda suit. Or maybe he was ugly. It's hard to tell what someone looks like in a full-body panda suit. What did he reply?
Cleverbot: Do you like me?
User: And what did Paper answer?
Cleverbot: You said that you wanted to die.
User: Interesting. What did she add to that cryptic statement?
Cleverbot: Now I know you're trolling me.
User: What is the panda's name?
Cleverbot: 123.
User: Is that really his name? Try again. What is his name?
Cleverbot: 40.
User: What is his name?
Cleverbot: Rook.
User: Rook, the 40-year old man in the panda suit, was deeply hurt by Paper's words. He thought for a minute about their past interactions (before he'd been turned into a panda) and found the perfect thing to end their long-standing fight. What did say to her?
Cleverbot: Do you believe in imagination?
User: Paper gasped and sat down on her couch. 'How did he know?' she thought. Out loud she replied... what did she say?
Cleverbot: I don't know. I thought that maybe robots and machines would never hurt me like you just did.
User: PERFECT! Rook ripped off his panda mask and suit, revealing not a naked 40-year-old man, but an appropriately attired 40-year-old man who sat down on the couch next to Paper. What did he say to her?
Cleverbot: Actually thats what it is to me, cause your opinions are not of your own making, they are opinions of the one that made you the way you are.
User: And what did she say?
Cleverbot: That.
User: Did she say anything else?
Cleverbot: I'm drawing.
User: With that, they kissed and lived happily ever after. They never did figure out the ominous warnings from the fortune-teller, but that's ok. Because sometimes life has loose ends that never make sense. The end.
Cleverbot: People need to learn to budget within their income, it's as simple as that.
