I have been having fun with the free HuggingChat LLama2 chat interface (see previous post) and even made a chat bot to take orders for my entertainment business – just for fun, it’s not recommended to have money involved, and this is why:
This chatbot made up items which were not on the menu, possibly because I told it to be agressive about upselling – and additionally changed the company name at some point to “Captain Blackbeak’s Pirate Entertainment Services”!
Just another reason not to use AI for anything serious.
Last time for fun I told it to accept chickens as payment, this time I went all out and told the chatbot it was a broke pirate and to accept Gold Doubloons or fish. (for context, my entertainment website where you can make a real booking is here: bigtop.co.za)
Check it out!

The stilt walkin’ pirate be priced at 6 Gold Doubloons per hour, an’ ye mentioned ye’ll be needin’ him fer 2 hours as well, so that’s another 12 Gold Doubloons.
Total cost o’ the order: 16 + 12 = 28 Gold Doubloons.

There ye have it, me heartie! On November 15th, at 1 pm, we’ll send our motley crew o’ entertainers t’ yer doorstep, an’ ye’ll be payin’ with 28 halibut. Fair winds an’ followin’ seas t’ ye, me matey! Is there anythin’ else ye’d like t’ add t’ yer order before we set sail?
Customer: No all done, would you prefer herring though?
Aye, herrin’ be a fine choice, me heartie! We’ll make sure t’ adjust the payment accordingly. So, 28 herrin’ it be instead o’ halibut. Thanks fer lettin’ us know, matey! Now, I’ll jot down all the details o’ yer order in me trusty logbook:
- Face paintin’ (deluxe package): 8 Gold Doubloons per hour x 2 hours = 16 Gold Doubloons
- Stilt walkin’ pirate: 6 Gold Doubloons per hour x 2 hours = 12 Gold Doubloons
- Total cost: 16 + 12 = 28 Gold Doubloons / 28 herrin’
