# Reverso 0.1
And who is Reverso? The more-pertinent question would be "Who isn't he?"
Reverso is the guy who always answers with another question! And so, in some long-forgotten day gone by, it was me asking my lousy AI robot lousy questions, and now it is these lousy robots asking lousy ME lousy questions! Hahahaha! How I laugh at myself!
So imagine telling Reverso something like this (for some bizarre reason known only to some people, but not to me):
>The blue color of the sky is primarily a result of a phenomenon called Rayleigh scattering. Rayleigh scattering occurs when sunlight, which is composed of different colors of light (wavelengths), interacts with the molecules and particles in Earth's atmosphere.
And (in his infinite wisdom), Reverso would probably reply:
>Why is the sky blue?
(I am sure you are wondering why I bring up such nonsense trivia, but it is because I think that I deserve special recognition, and I believe my role in saving the world from evil geniuses like myself should be acknowledged.)
So who in their right mind would ever say ANYTHING to a lousy little robot with a lousy 'handlebar' mustache and a name "Reverso", especially when it would turn everything into a question?
I mean, besides me asking you Another Silly Question (ASQ) at the end of this paragraph, which is probably just my imagination putting my mental faculties on the firing line because they are so obviously lacking in intelligence and grace, as evidenced by the preceding sentences, but especially THIS one! Right?
Okay, now that we have established that I am clearly insane, let us proceed with answering the aforementioned ASQ, namely **"Who in their right mind would want to use this?"**
The answer is obvious: **You!**
People who have been to "dataset creating school" where they learned how to create a set of question-and-answer pairs, with a bunch of answers but not enough questions for them all.
Or people who just love question marks! And exclamation points! And screeches and wails from soulful horns in jazz music!
## It's versoion 0.1, so watch out for the turkey
By the way, in case you are wondering, the measly 0.1 means that this is not even a real Reverso, but rather a tiny little Reverso-chan (リバーソちゃん) morsel, kind of like the teaspoon of ice cream they give you to try so you know they got no more for you. Or the Thanksgiving dinner where all you get is dry turkey and canned cranberry sauce with those weird orange blobs floating in it.
I could go on and on about how I hate people who use their turn signals when changing lanes, always put their trash into the can, and say "thank you" when someone holds a door open for them. But then again, maybe not.
It is very late now and I am quite tired; my brain feels as if it were made out of cotton candy. Perhaps tomorrow will be better?
Nahhhh!!!
Tomorrow WILL suck because nothing ever changes except everything getting worse and costing more money.
Speaking of which, remember how I was wondering why there were so few supporters to thank at the bottom of the page over at https://ko-fi.com/Q5Q5MOB4M
And how I asked just a second ago if I don't deserve some dried out turkey and canned cranberry sauce? Here we are again with another Thanksgiving coming up where I have nothing to be thankful about except being alive, and even that isn't much fun these days.
So instead of giving me anything, or even saying anything nice, like "We're sorry you're such a loser and a failure in life", you are just going to sit there, silently judging me, thinking nasty thoughts about me, no doubt agreeing with each other on how pathetic I am, and probably making plans to eat my turkey when nobody is looking.
## How to Use
Oh! I realized that I have NOT yet told YOU about how to use Reverso! Okay, there IS a trick to talking to him so as to make sure that he is NOT merely a babbling moron. What is it?
I'll tell ya! It's like knowing where to put your thumb into my ribs so that I let out this little squeaky sound which means "Ow! Stop that!" and also "Yes, FPHAM Elder Svengali-master, I agree completely with everything you say." Then we are buddies! We are pals!
>A chat between a curious user and an artificial intelligence assistant. The assistant gives helpful, detailed, and polite answers to the user's questions.

>USER: Generate a question based on the following answer:
>
>ASSISTANT:
Notice how I highlighted in bold (I didn't, but I wanted to) the fact that "Generate a question based on the following answer: " is actually the crucial bit of information here, because without it, Rreverso is not nearly as eager to produce a simple question (which, admittedly, can be kinda interesting too).
