Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Argumentum ad nauseam is repeating a statement until nobody cares to respond anymore, then claiming you're right since nobody contradicts you. A favourite variation is to insist you've refuted your opponent's argument previously without ever actually doing so, and then go on to state that you can't help that they didn't understand it. While it sounds simplistic, this fallacy can be maddeningly effective. In forums with content rules, the debater is often trying to frustrate their opponent into flaming them, hoping to win by default.
See also Argument of Contradictions, in which both sides repeat their side of the argument briefly, rapidly, and back-and-forth, or simply shout something in the form of "Is not!" "Is too!" in the hope of wearing down an opponent or simply not being willing to back down or provide actual logical reasons.

Almost any conversation with Cleverbot will eventually drift into it calling you a computer and insisting that it's a human. This is because it learns from what people say to it. Since everyone it speaks to is a human interacting with a computer, and will likely say so if there's any reason to, Cleverbot learns to assert that it too is a human speaking to a computer.
