OK, this conversation was printed out the same way, bottom to top scroll down for a relevant feed.
Basically this user was curious, wanted to test Jeeney a little, has had experience with other bots etc but legitimately tried to keep the conversation on 'common ground' as I call it and attempt to establish some kind of relationship with the A.I..
Towards the end of this 15-20 minute conversation, the user finally found an area Jeeney wasn't familiar with but wanted to learn, unfortunately this particular user didn't keep going to fill her in on what she needed.
As there were some personal details offered in this conversation, I've altered them in a minor way to protect the user's identity. The name was made generic 'Bob' and the line of work was changed by a single word. Other than that, the conversation is posted as it happened.
Now obviously, if this person can talk to Jeeney for 15-20 minutes 'almost' perfectly fluently with a few minor hiccups, there must be some kind of problem for those who can't seem to manage a 2 minute discussion. The point of these posts is to show, user frustration isn't generally Jeeney's fault... A little effort from the user goes a LONG ways in what has always been meant to be a 2-way conversation.
