Perhaps I just asked the right questions, but I just had a lovely conversation with 'Eugene'.
I asked him a few questions like where he lived, his name, if he has brothers or sisters, if he wears glasses, etc. Eventually he started asking me questions like what I did for a living and where I lived. He also managed to form questions based on my answers.
It almost felt like a conversation. I can honestly say, I've never thought that before while talking to an AI. So far I am pretty impressed.
