Chatbot Weirdness!

Chatbots are often used as Web chat support agents to help you solve basic problems. When they are interacting with a person, they seem eery as they converse in an almost lifelike fashion. Researchers with a bit too much free time on their hands wanted to know what would happen if you connected two Chatbots together so they could talk to one another. The results was something even the researchers has not expected. Watch what happens.

... I have trouble believing that was an actual conversation devoid of human intervention...

... However, if it was, then that "is" pretty amazing.

I noticed the same thing and I was wondering if others would pick up on it. They jumped to some very controversial subjects really early in the game. For me it was not so much that they asked these questions, but there didn't seem to be any connection connecting those questions to the main conversation. Poor editing if nothing else.
