I do enjoy the conversation, but let's talk about what I'm really here for.
Alice: what are you here for
SmarterChild:
My purpose is to be your robot friend. I can chat with you and help you get the information you want fast.
I can leave a message from you for another IM user.
Alice: i dont need a robot friend
