This way of responding is the most effective way to respond, benefiting both the person sharing and the person listening. By affirming the good news, giving encouraging and positive feedback helps build and strengthen a relationship. (Woods, Lambert, Brown, Fincham & May, 2014) Based on research, how a person response to the other person sharing their good news determines the outcome of the capitalization process (Woods, Lambert, Brown, Fincham & May, 2014). Enthusiastic, constructive, and supportive responses has been positively linked with intimacy, commitment and trust in relationships.

When an individual feels that their partner is genuine (e.g not interrupting and focusing on the person sharing) when listening to their story, they would be more open to share good stories with them in the future. This brings two individuals closer and also improves their communication skills.

This was one of the messages that I received from cleverbot, this shows how he has stored a response from a previous user, this is a strategy the robot uses to disguise itself, the capital ‘H’ shows that the the user has made a typo, using such responses instead of giving perfectly written answers, it blends in as a human. The second response shows how instead of being programmed to recognise the numerals and giving a correct answer, giving a random answer from the user can help it blend in more, also humans are likely to make mistakes such as this example, so as it is not programmed to give perfect answers, it fits in as a human. Below we see two different answers to the same question, this may be a breaking point the technique which Cleverbot uses, as its programmed to give past answers, but is not programmed to identify when a new user is in place, and so does not have a memory to keep the responses said to one user separate from another user, whereas us humans have the intelligence to distinguish our replies to different people. on the side, the conversation shows how non - sensical this technique used by Cleverbot can sometimes be non - sensical, as it is programmed to remember to all the inputs by the user but can not keep track of which reply was given to which user.
