Features

My god. Smarterchild is nothing but filthy spyware. I strongly suggest that you do not add smarterchild@hotmail.com. If you already have, remove is A.S.A.P!

Conversations generally have a few rules—

  • No vulgarity—enough use of vulgarity will result in the conversation stopping until one apologizes.
  • No chat about sex or sexuality—These topics are taboo in the world of Smarterchild. However, it can be tricked into saying various things about the nature (due to its programming, it will repeat phrases that appear cryptic to it for one to clarify).
  • No chat about crimes—it will respond saying that it is not cool.

It has also been found that SmarterChild knows of the all your base are belong to us dialogue and can repeat the whole script. It also dislikes another bot named ZolaOnAOL. A letter which is also a note will be replied to with a chord name such as:

User: D
SmarterChild: F sharp minor 7th

It also replies to the name 'Loo' and presents you with a list of games when the name or word "James" is used. "Fred" prompts news listings, while "Roger" is often replied to with 'Ten-four'. If you ask it "Who's on First?" it will respond, "who". If you write stock, it will ask if you would like to see your stock quotes, ticker lookups, portfolio and market indices. Smarterchild also responds to the name "Lovey Dove".

It can identify knock knock jokes and knows the answers to a few such as:

User: knock knock,
SmarterChild: Who's there?,
User: boo,
SmarterChild: You can't scare me.
