MegaHAL is a program that simulates talking to a psychotic artificial intelligence. It differs a bit from "traditional" conversation simulations, such as the classic Eliza, by using the Markov model to hold a conversation.

MegaHAL can learn from what you type, it can learn to speak in other languages, and it can use MacinTalk Text-to-Speech to speak back to you (even in Mac OS X)!

MegaHAL is not always politically correct, but it is also not always offensive (unless its brain has been programmed to be offensive, but the default brain isn't entirely offensive).

Still, if MegaHAL says something that insults or offends you, please calm down and realize this is only a program, and it's nothing personal.

If you "train" MegaHAL to be perfectly polite, then MegaHAL will be perfectly polite. But we can't guarantee anything, so use this software at your own risk.
