Have we all seen the video of two Cleverbots having a conversation? If this isn't the best thing on the internet today, I don't know what is:

Oh, my god, Amy, I can't even imagine.
Right? I can see not wanting to spend the time left arguing, and I'm sure he would have wanted her to undergo treatment, but wow.
