You'll notice his replies either mix and serve parts of the previous context, when it is syntactically simple, or just start afresh on a random non-sequitur. And his grammar seems recurrent too.

Nah. The ability to create output with a seemingly meaningful relation to the input is still far behind that of the human brain. More work needed.
