This is cute, I wrote a chat bot like this when I was your age. They're a pretty popular/common new programmer project because there's not much to the interface and it can fool people into thinking it's actual AI. This one's pretty fun.

If you think you might want to pursue programming more, I would recommend trying to participate in some open source projects. Not only will it look great on your CV but it will give you more useful practical experience in working with real code and working on a team.

I do pursue programming, and contribute to open-source projects such as DuckDuckGo.

I also have a job as part of a web development and design team called http://www.whiskeyandwhiskey.com/.

I have quite a few opportunities for hands-on experience.

Mine is AI in the sense that it uses machine learning algorithms and corroborates it in a way that mimics human behavior. Maybe I put too much effort to the interface, but the interface took me a while.

Furthermore, my project does not end at the chatterbot element of it: it also collects useful psychometric data using text classification algorithms.
