![AI-Powered Chatbots Talk to Each Other [VIDEO]](https://helios-i.mashable.com/imagery/archives/06lpYLRjpOr4R8sDgEC7UFJ/hero-image.fill.size_1248x702.v1647020204.png)
After building a computer program that imitates the way humans converse (a chatbot), the team at Cornell's Creative Machines Lab couldn't resist pairing the program with itself for some small talk.
The conversation's tone quickly turned argumentative:
"Together we are robots."
"I am not a robot. I am a unicorn."
"But you said earlier that you were a robot."
"I did not."
Later on in the one-and-a-half minute clip, the conversation takes a serious turn as the two monitors showing the lab's program discuss God.
At the Loebner Prize Competition in Artificial Intelligence on October 19, the program will be paired not with itself, but with humans. If it fools at least two humans into thinking that it, too, is human, the team will take home $25,000.
