A few years ago the University of Illinois (I think it was) had a program that did a good job of imitating a psychotherapist. Put a program like that on each of our computers and start them talking. I would like to watch that.

conversation is exchange of ideas or information. Computers converse all the time with each other (why our computers are conversing right now) they need not speech or speech recognition or AI. But of course there are programs even now that are designed to emmulate chating. They are called Chatterbots. Yahoo chat is fully of them. speech is only a form of output wheather text or speech it does not matter to the computer. We are many years (decads) aways from having a truly functional AI. As such we only have programming and that realizes certain inputs, process them with logic and produces a response.

I think so, AI with humans conversation already years in works. AI with AI shouldn't be much a stretch.

Probably not. Because AI typically works by processing 'user input'. It almost always needs some kind of input to work correctly. A conversation is pointless without it. You probably won't get much further than a "How are you?".
