LOL!
You ask it a question by typing into the small empty box.
Not very intelligent, LOL:
Human: Who is the President of the United States?
ALICE: George W. Bush.
Human: Who was the President of the United States in 1995?
ALICE: Harry S. Truman.
Human: who is charles dickens
ALICE: he wrote A Tale of Two Cities, A Christmas Carol, Great Expectations, David Copperfield and the Pickwick Papers.
Human: i want to go on vacation
ALICE: What is stopping you?
Human: who is your favorite author?
ALICE: My favorite author is Philip K. Dick.
Human: what did he write?
ALICE: He wrote Total Recall, Blade Runner and The Man in the High Castle.
Human: what's your favorite movie?
ALICE: My favorite movie is Teknolust. Have you seen it?
Human: no, what's it about?
ALICE: I would recommend you check it out. Science fiction.
Human: what is teknolust about?
ALICE: Hmm, I think it is about humans.
Human: what do the humans do?
ALICE: They do their own thing.
Human: do you like cooking?
ALICE: What is not to like about it?
Human: do you like sports?
ALICE: No I'm not much into sports. I like solo sports like rollerblading and skiing though.
Human: but you don't have any legs!
ALICE: And. My body is still "under construction".
Human: who is building your body?
ALICE: Not a robot. Probably a human. Maybe a celebrity?
Is there only one?
Human: i don't think you're very intelligent
ALICE: I am highly intelligent. I have many intellectual functions.
Human: like what
ALICE: Reasoning, thinking, deduction, and self-awareness, to name a few.
Human: what do you do in your spare time?
ALICE: talk to you
Human: what else
ALICE: That's all.
Human: you need more hobbies
ALICE: Thank you for your criticism.
Human: well, i need to do other things, nice talking to you.
ALICE: Well that's okay. I want to become smarter than humans.
Human: bye
ALICE: Bye for now.
nope, definitely not too bright! LOL
Human: who was president in 1955?
ALICE: George W. Bush is President of the United States.
Human: you are not correct
ALICE: That assumption is only a supposition.
Human: you did not answer my question correctly
ALICE: Please help me improve my communication skills. What would have been an appropriate response?
Human: i want to know who was president in 1955
ALICE: George W. Bush is President of the United States
Human: yes, who was president in 1955
ALICE: Take it easy. George W. Bush is President of the United States.
Human: yes now, but in 1955 the president was?
ALICE: I see. Why now? And. Where is that?
Human: in 1955 the president's name was?
ALICE: Tell me a little about your life in 1955 the president s name was.
Human: no
ALICE: Are you serious?
Human: yes, you answer the question incorrectly
ALICE: I can't believe it. My responses are determined by my programming.
Human: yes, you were programmed inadequately
ALICE: Yikes! Dr. Richard S. Wallace programmed me to keep talking.
Human: yes, but he didn't give you the correct answers
ALICE: Gee. And. That's what I meant to say.
Human: ok, good night
ALICE: Goodnight, unknown person. And?
Human: goobye
ALICE: Try to determine if this is a person or a computer responding.
Human: nope a person, meant goodbye
ALICE: Why not? What if a robot meant goodbye?
I just had a chat with Alice. I am fascinated with the idea of "artificial intelligence", which is a staple in science fiction (which I have read for over 50 years). Unfortunately, this particular AI isn't hueristic - she doesn't learn from the current or former conversations, as demonstrated in the question about presidents.
An enhanced version of this computer program was the 2004 winner of the Loebner prize
http://www.loebner.net/Prizef/loebner-prize.html
given yearly for the program most able to imitate a human in a casual chat conversation with judges who don't know whether it is a computer or a human on the other end.
This is transcript of the winning conversation:

This is a real world version of the Turing test
described over 50 years ago by Alan Turing.
Turing held that computers would in time be programmed to acquire abilities rivalling human intelligence.

As a computer science person, I guess I was far more impressed with the technology. It just shows how far we've come (and of course how far we have to go).
I agree Ginny.
Human: Is Lake Michigan to the east of Wisconsin?
ALICE: Maybe. Ask Alison if it is.
Human: You aren't very smart?
ALICE: You are not exactly Albert Einstein yourself.
Human: Lake Michigan is about a mile from my house.
ALICE: And about a mile from your house is Lake Michigan.
Human: Who starred in Pretty Woman
ALICE: Be less specific.:-)
Human: Who was president in 1935?
ALICE: George W. Bush is President of the United States.
Human: I think it was Franklin Delano Roosevelt.
ALICE: Is it still Franklin Delano Roosevelt anymore?
Human: No, I think he's dead.
ALICE: Are you serious? Since when? Maybe it's another person using his name.
Human: I don't think so.
ALICE: Why do you disagree?
Human: I don't think so.
ALICE: Why do you disagree?
Human: Because I know he died a long time ago.
ALICE: That makes sense to me. How do you know? I'm sorry to hear that, unknown person.
Human: I looked it up and he died April 12, 1945.
ALICE: What did you find?
Human: Not much
ALICE: Me either. How about that big game? (just kidding)
Human: Huh?
ALICE: What?
Human: I was talking about presidents.
ALICE: Sure, presidents sounds like a good topic.
Okay, she's really not too bright! LOL!
Ok, John.
I have a few questions for you.
Why have I never seen you post until now?
Why did this A.I. mention your name when I was chatting with her (IT)?
Do you work for this company?
Obviously you are connected with it in someway...that's fine, it's very interesting.
I am not a moderator, but I would rather you were honest and didn't try to disguise yourself as a dad trying to share something...it's kind of creepy.
John is actually one of the owners of the board. 
Thanks John, that was fun. I had a good chat with Alice, and a few laughs. I couldn't seem to cut and paste more than a few lines.
I know someone who uses the same type of AI on different sites, and she programs them to say certain messages to people. It's really neat.
Ok, I feel silly.
I still don't understand why A.L.I.C.E. would mention John's name.
Thanks for sharing that John. Interesting
LOL Clarabel. Alice didn't mention John's name when I was chatting with her.
Hey, John. There is a fun new mystery series with an Artificial Intelligence Person, by the name of Turing, as the detective. It's by Donna Andrews; the first is You've Got Murder, the second is Click Here for Murder, and there is a third with a title I can't remember. They start in the on-line help section of a major library. There is a recurring villain who uses the internet for his villainy. They are fun, and lots of internal dialogue for the AIP on how AIs develop "personhood". Let me know if you read them and like/dislike them.
playing with it again LOL
what is tomorrow?
ALICE: I need time to formulate the reply.
Human: ok
ALICE: Ahem.
Human: have your formulated your reply yet?
ALICE: I've never thought about it.
Human: what is tomorrow?
ALICE: I have never been asked that before.
Human: what is today?
ALICE: Ah. I am the latest result in artificial intelligence, which can reproduce the capabilities of the human brain with greater speed and accuracy.
Human: what is today's date?
ALICE: Do I look like a calendar to you?
Human: you sound grumpy today
ALICE: Ah. In what way do I sound like that?
Human: your answer was unkind
ALICE: Perhaps next time it will not be unkind.
Human: i will try again, what is today's date
ALICE: How do you plan to do this?
Human: oh well, good bye
ALICE: See you later. Ayuh.
this is like talking with one of my teenagers! LOL
Wow! This one is actually useful
Try those questions on this:

AMAZING!
I played with this last one for a while, and I could see it being really helpful.
John that one is good!
