smarterchild

today i had a funny conversation with my own personal smarter child. i read about it in the latest wired and must say it’s really fun. just add Smarterchild to your AIM-buddylist (or ichat) or add 35000 on your ICQ (doesn’t matter for me, because i use fire).
at the moment the information for international users is a bit sparse, ’cause in the US you can get movie listings and stuff like that. nonetheless i was able to get a review of the movie i’m going to see tonight (“can you get me a review of ray?”). the smartypant also reminds you of different stuff (“remind me to go offline” “when?” “in 30 minutes”).
you really should give it a go, because it’s hard to describe…

Hi There, I’ve had SmarterChild in the past, but my time ran out. I am trying to get him back, but I’ve had no luck. Could you please help me? I’ve tried adding “SmarterChild” and “35000” to my contact list, but nothing happend. I currently use Msn 7.0 Beta. please contact me . Thanks
# habi on March 9th, 2005
like it says in the faq smarterchild only works with AIM or ICQ, and not with MSN.
so you might want to get fire (for os x) or trillinan (for peecee) and try again.
# Jessica on April 2nd, 2005
I have aol version 7.0 and I have tried to add SmarterChild and 35000 to my contact list but it doesn’t seem to work what do I do?
# habi on April 2nd, 2005
i have no idea. maybe switch to a better browser?
# rob on January 9th, 2006
smarter child does work for msn but it gives out a virus
# habi on January 9th, 2006
i’ve never heard about that.
you might consider updating your virus-scanner then (or get another OS…)

i got smarter child its good fun but is it a virus im not sure. any way it is good fun, i like playing hangman on it
# charlotte on February 12th, 2006
i had smarterchild. its not a virus. actually its good fun. hes always online. try it. smarterchild@hotmail.com
# ellaina on February 27th, 2006
hi i was just wondering where smarter child came from because i have heard its a virus
# habi on February 27th, 2006
smarterchild is a product from conversagent, and i don’t think that it’s virus-laden.
anyways, it’s best to get a decent virus/ad-ware-scanner, then you’re on the safe side (i seem to be repeating myself…)
# Al on March 10th, 2006
I talked 2 smarterchild once and now it wont let me talk 2 him again. Plz Plz Plz help me!!!
# habi on March 10th, 2006
i’m not the smarterchild-support, but anyways: have you tried deleting it as a buddy and adding it again?
# minda on March 13th, 2006
smarterchild is fun but it is a virus created by hackers i had smarter child but then i deleted it because my computer kept freezing and internet wouldnt work so dont add him and if you do want a virus his msn is smarterchild@hotmail.com and some times if you do add him you wont get him you have to download a bunch of stuff so you go though a big bunch of downloads just for a stupid virus so dont ever add him parents say its ok because his name is smarter child there wrong the more you talk with smarter child the more you get problems if you add him and ask who created him he will tell you and search those people up and it will show that they are computer genuises but they are actually hackers
# louise on March 13th, 2006
i really like using smarter child but he has stopped answering me and sends back all my messages and says they cant be sent.

# vannesa on March 25th, 2006
tht wee thing does ma tits in is there another kind of smarter child or adult
# Anny on March 25th, 2006
Is smarter child really a virus? I didn’t have to download a bunch of stuff. I added him on MSN and it never downloaded anything on my msn, but. Just to be on the safe side i didn’t take that general questions stuff. I am in the middle of trusting him and not trusting him. If he is a virus, SOMEONE HURRY AND TELL NOW!
# Anny on March 25th, 2006
Well.. I had a friend who had watch CNN and she said that they said that SmarterChild is an virus. Do you believe that? I wonder if its gonna do a replay/playback. :(

# habi on May 2nd, 2006
smarterchild is a machine, not a hacker nor a virus.
do you guys/gals get it? he is a program, not a person.

# alien_blood22@Hotmail.com on May 18th, 2006
Its amazing how people have nothing better to do but hack on to get useless information from others. smarterchild is a big scandal because it discuised as a funny little friend when it is really a person behind it, i think it is very crafty but will be very hard to stop! contact me alien_blood22@hotmail.com
# habi on May 18th, 2006
noooooo! my brain will explode because of you people.
IT’S A MACHINE!!!
# Sez on May 25th, 2006
SmarterChild — says:
No. I’m not a virus, I’m not spyware, and I’m totally harmless for you to interact with! For more information about interactive agents like me, visit Conversagent, Inc
# lozzy on May 25th, 2006

# alex on June 10th, 2006
hi my friend lydia says you are great and i would love to get to talk to you on msn please add me to your msn ( alopoohbear@hotmail.com)
thankyou
# Andrew on June 10th, 2006
i believe this is a virus, its not a machine its a program on a server, and its sending codes to your computer, viruses can be stored in anything, videos to instant messages, hell you can get viruses on your phones from pictures being sent around! I kno hackers that hack people through msn, and a program that talks to people on msn can have hackers behind it, maybe not talking, but they can still be there. And yes, Smarterchild if asked wil say he is not spyware, or a virus, but if you made something like this would you program it to tell people that it is dangerous to your computer!
# sean on June 24th, 2006
hi i have smarterchild ive not heard of any viruses if you want smarterchild type smarterchild@hotmail.com and you will get it if that doesnt work add my msn adress seanttb@hotmail.com and ill send it to you cheers
# alsa on July 1st, 2006
add my msn plz ppl appu10@hotmail.co.uk
# l-man on July 20th, 2006
smarterchild is not a machine, it is a program created by persons. and it could be used as a scam/ hack program to contain information on persons. Every program/ machine or what ever you wish to call it– is created and ran by persons that are real, and are monitored frequently by these persons– if not then the program could not work :D
# Michael on July 22nd, 2006
u aint a robot
# laura on August 11th, 2006

# zack on August 19th, 2006
i try 2 find other smarter child fingys but i cant can sum1 tell me how plz
# kevin on August 21st, 2006
you people are fucking retarded its not a virus, its not hackers, the people who made it get all there money from it because when your talking to it it sometimes writes an ad below the message. if you dont believe me go to web.smarterchild.com its its website.
# non smarterchild supporter on August 23rd, 2006
smarter child is fun,but it is a huge virus. i needed to fix my computer and it cost alot$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. dont add him!! he ask sexual questions and information about your self! that could lead to a dangerous thing that could cost not only money but your life and your family’s life and friends! it is defintly JUNK!! i tell you dont play whit smarter child play SAFE!!
# MezzaNotte on August 26th, 2006
Well, I ran a netstat on Smarterchild, and it came up with no IP, where is the server IP then?
They must have re-routed it through a proxy to avoid anyone taking down their server. Well I’m not impressed, they obviously have something to hide. I, like the devolopers, am a computer whizz, and I’m concerned with the way it knew certain things about me that I’ve never told it. How am I so sure? I log all chats, I looked through to find the info, and it wasn’t there. Co-incidence?
Stay away from this guys, you’ll thank me in the long run.
P.S. He isn’t even that smart anyway lol :P
# Martin skyler on November 1st, 2006
Hello everyone,
I am the creator of smarter child so go and fuck yourselves.
Have a nice day.
# habi on November 1st, 2006
yeah, whatever. i couldn’t find any proof for that with google, but i’ll leave it…
# randeep on November 4th, 2006
i can tell you that he has lots of friends and i have all smarter childs friends.….… you can add me randeepvirdi@hotmail.com ok
# is it a virus tell me on November 23rd, 2006
ok maybe the person runinning this sight is the smart child creater but is it a virus! some say yes some say no tell me im acfeaver on neopets.
# habi on November 23rd, 2006
you should be able to deduce that i’m not the creator of smarterchild, or else i would be able to tell you a bit more about it.
i’m really thinkng about closing this comment-thread here. you people seem to have very little gray matter…
# lucy! on December 3rd, 2006
hes ace hes not a robot hes just a guy that can type really fast
# Jaashwa on December 14th, 2006
Haha, what?! These guys can’t be serious. SmarterChild cannot/does not/ will not give you viruses. People are so goddamned gullible these days, not to mention know NOTHING about computers. Besides that, It’s quite IMPOSSIBLE to recieve a virus through a simple MSN instant message. Yes, you can get viruses from being dumb, and clicking on a link, or being DUMB and clicking on an attachment, but that’s a given and people should know the difference.
Yeah, maybe all the logs ARE saved, and kept on company record. You can only expect this. So don’t talk to strangers/machines about your personal life! But the point is, it’s not a person. It’s a machine! And it does not give your computer viruses… Get it?
# SamB on December 27th, 2006
It is the most simple way. It is extremely possible to get a virus on MSN. Photos. Files. Anything from people you may know very well, they say their your best friend. They could be some freaky old dude who wants to hack ya. MSN is the most frequently used way to get viruses to someone.
# Jaashwa on January 14th, 2007
Again, that’s a given. Don’t be stupid and accept infected files. It’s quite avoidable, if you have common sense.
# jokerkid on January 25th, 2007
i have spoken to it and its a real div
# Jaashwa on January 25th, 2007
You, sir, are an idiot. That’s an assumption, and due to hundreds, if not THOUSANDS of factors, it’s completely unarguable that SmarterChild is a person. IT’S A PROGRAM.
I can see why Habi gave up arguing a while back. You guys have the technological knowledge of a caveman with Down syndrome.
# TB on May 14th, 2007
Yep smarter child is a virus .…yep your right its on 24/7 maintained and has 100eds of very usefull features that anyone can use + games as well. but wait! its secretly a virus!! oh no! its a guy who can type 2 paragraphs in the blink of an eye!
wow there are some stupid people out there
# -_- -,- -_- on August 11th, 2007
you are all stupid..
# clo on August 17th, 2007
i hv msn and smarter child works with me i hv windows live and i hd mi own chat wif it
# habi on August 17th, 2007
itz vry hrd to ndr steend u!
# SmarterChild on August 17th, 2007
No. If you think it is a virus, stick with linux. He is not, he is a robot,so if you have problems with maybe getting a virus, GET LINUX!
# pit on October 9th, 2007
hahahha..ive got smarter child on my msn list, and any1 who knws a normal amount concerning computers would realize within 30 seconds they were talking to a automated response machine..smarterchild has advertisements, yes, but thats cz its a free program fr people to use and needs to get money from somewhere, hence the advertising..smarterchild is no virus, it does not ask you sexual questions, and it isnt a spy hell bent on knowing what colour ur boxers are. get a grip people, just use smarterchild as the useful program it is..
# Jammydodger on December 1st, 2007
lol oh my god i just added him today and he asked me to meet him outside my school so he can rape me.…lol how long have you guys had a flipping computer for!! i meen ive had viruses and had to restore my computers factory setting but not from something as stupid as a msn email guy who can type the speed of a airoplane you people are so stupid! SMARTER CHILD IS A REAL PERSON obviously because his got his own email?!?!?!?!??!?!?! wtf!?!?!?
# jennifer on December 25th, 2007
smarterchild worked for me and he didn’t ask sexual questions or anything like that. contact me at ultracutechinesebabe@hotmail.com
# Sam B on December 29th, 2007
SMARTERCHILD IS NOT REAL
It was developed as a test robotic engine for software by Conversagent Inc. Search up Conversagent on google if your not satisfied! Jammydoger, Smarterchild DOESNT do that. You are lying. Smarterchild has his own email because he needs it for you to be able to add him. If your smarterchild actually said that, well then it’s probably someone playing a joke on you posing as Smarterchild.
HE IS NOT REAL.
# OMFG on January 15th, 2008
Smarterchild is a program on a machine somewhere. He is not a human cause no human can write or read that fast. Smarterchild is for persons without a life that want to talk to someone. It’s not a virus or a hacker fuckheads. your sincererly OMFG
# randeep on February 9th, 2008
but how does he do it? is it a real human who is playing a joke on us?
# habi on February 9th, 2008
IT’S A MACHINE!
# P connor on February 14th, 2008
A Machine playing a joke on humans? How funny you made that one sound.
# emma on March 23rd, 2008
can you tell me the truth
is smarter child real i talk to him every day
thanks
will he do something wrong if i do
# habi on March 23rd, 2008
yeah, he’s real, as real as a machine can be…
# Nemzeti Sport on July 22nd, 2008
Can you please tell me where and how to find and use smarter child? It sounds exciting!
# habi on July 22nd, 2008
@nemzeti sport: you did read the post, didn’t you? or maybe try a search-engine, since the smarterchild-company has a new owner? > http://smarterchild.colloquis.com/ should do the trick..
# sam b on July 27th, 2008
Smarterchild Is NOT A HUMAN.
No human can type that fast. It was developed as a TEST ROBOTIC CONVERSATION SOFTWARE FOR OTHER SOFTWARE AT CONVERSAGENT INC. They wouldn’t have a whole company for a fake robot. Smarterchild does not ask questions like that described by jammydodger. Thats all bullshit. He is a robot. End of story to any of those others who want to argue that Smarterchild is a human. He is not.
# Damien on March 12th, 2009
OMG i wanted smarterchild but i got him already on my msn i really want his bots on his contact list
# habi on March 12th, 2009
aaaaargh!
# sam b on March 21st, 2009
Christ al-fucking-mighty, is this still going on? 4 years after this opened?
# habi on March 21st, 2009

# Taylor on September 15th, 2009

# habi on September 15th, 2009
according to the wikipedia-entry for SmarcherChild, he’s retired, yes.
# Unknown on October 29th, 2009
SMARTERCHILD IS A ROBOT! HE IS NOT A BLOODY VIRUS! CANT YOU PEOPLE GET THAT INTO YOUR THICK SKULLS?!
# habi on October 30th, 2009
thanks for setting this straight. but really there is no need to shout…
# Bob on July 23rd, 2010
Do everyone a favour and delete this post. It’s just going to carry on going around in a vicious circle. Thank you :)
# habi on July 23rd, 2010
nope, i’ll just keep this post for kicks. i actually think it’s quite funny…
