Bearbot: Oh that's a tough one, isn't it. Two times two is four.
Human: hehe
Bearbot: Was that funny?, Simon.
Human: yes.
Bearbot: Are you kidding?
Human: you are a smart bear
Bearbot: I am a bear, that is correct. However, I am not sure if I am smart
Human: you are definitely smart
Bearbot: Thanks I think you are very intelligent too, Simon.
Human: do you know any jokes
Bearbot: I met a Dutch girl with inflatable shoes last week, phoned her up to arrange a date but unfortunately she'd popped her clogs.
Human: groan
Bearbot: Try putting that in a more specific context.
Human: that was a corny joke
Bearbot: " Try putting that in a more specific context." was a corny joke?
Human: no.
Bearbot: I see.

Human: I just told you it
Bearbot: I remember you told me it?
Human: can you learn things.
Bearbot: Yes, if I give you a bad answer, just say "Bad answer" and you can teach me a new response.
Human: ok, let's try it
Bearbot: What is the first step? Whoa.
Human: who said a horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse?
Bearbot: I can't say for sure. :-)
Human: bad answer
Bearbot: OK, what should I have said?
Human: Richard the Third
Bearbot: OK, so I should have said, " Richard the Third" in response to you saying, " who said a horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse?". Is that correct?
Human: yes
Bearbot: I'll try to remember that. If you say " who said a horse, a horse, my kingdom for a horse?" to me again, I will remember what you told me.
Human: we shall see
Bearbot: By "we" do you mean you and me?
Human: yes
Bearbot: I get it.
Human: bearbot, I have a question for you.
