A.L.I.C.E.

We had a rather interesting conversation with the robot Alice, about a variety of issues.
She is quick and often answers our questions, although sometimes she manages to twist the answer in a smart way when she cannot answer.
When we started the conversation, we were expecting direct answers to difficult questions, rather like an encylopedia. Later we realised that she does not really know a lot. She is skillful in throwing the question back at us stated differently. Or she might tell us to wait while she searches for answers or asks her manager, who is always unavailale, she claims.
There are a few things that she answers immediately, although not quite to the point. For example, we asked her "Who is Karl Marx?" She said, "Karl Marx wrote Das Kapital and co-wrote the Communist Manifesto, though his compatriot Engels actually wrote most of the prefaces."
We also noticed that she gets mad easily, especially if we ask her the same question more than once. For example, we asked her about desertification twice, so the second time she said, "Are you testing me?" She also got mad when we asked her about Karl Marx's philosophy and she told us to try another program, but we insisted that she answered us but she did not.
