Disturbing Friday Fun: Chat To Dead John Lennon

Remember a while back, when we gave you a link to Alice The Robot and her stilted world of online chat?
Well … now we've found something even more pointless interesting. The trouble with Alice The Robot, right, was that - as much 'fun' as chatting to her virtual self was - she wasn't a celebrity. This is a bad thing, of course - celebrities are officially the bestest things in the whole wide world times infinity, and anyone who isn't a celebrity should weep with pure gratitude at the thought of even being able to look at one.
In fact, there's only one thing better than a celebrity - and that's a dead celebrity. And there's only one thing better than a dead celebrity - and that's a website that claims to have distilled the entire personality of a dead celebrity into an online program you can chat to.
May we present to you JLAIP - The John Lennon Artificial Intelligence Project.
Here's a quick snippet of the chat we had with 'John':
Us: "Imagine is a rubbish song."
Lennon: "And Winnie The Pooh too."
Us: "Don't get lippy with me, Lennon."
Lennon: "Okay, I'll try not to do it too much."
Us: "Damn right, you dead scouse psuedo-hippie."
Lennon: "Bread?"
Us: "Oh, just fuck off."
Lennon: "Yeah. Mimi tells that story very often."
Us: "Well, Mimi can fuck off too."
Lennon: "Is that a mantra, CJ?"
Us: "Right. Outside. Now."
Lennon: "Understood."
And then we had a fight.
