Thanks for making this, I had a good laugh.

Just use a few simple if/else statements and you'll be generating thoughtful responses in no time. "User: 'Hello, how are you today?' Response: 'I'm doing well, thanks for asking! How about you?'" See? Easy peasy. Save your AI budget for something more exciting, like training a neural network to translate your dog's barks or developing a machine learning model to predict the next Kardashian scandal."
