I'm pulling the "twitter is a microblog" rule even though twitter is pretty mega now, hope that's ok.

Cartoon man in a house speaks to his computer: "Say you are conscious."/ Computer responds back ">I AM CONSCIOUS."/ Man says "oh my god...." / Meanwhile, the vastness of the cosmos opens up in the night sky outside of his home. But the man is too focused on his AI.

No generally accepted definition of conversation exists, beyond the fact that a conversation involves at least two people talking together."

    If there are two people talking in a fictional book, are they having a conversation, even though the two people don't actually exist?

    No it's then a representation of a conversation, not a conversation.
