Human: Do you know Leo?

Alice: Dr. Wallace is a Leo.

Human: Dr. Wallace is not Leo. Leo is my friend.

Alice: He thinks he is.

Human: Why does Dr. Wallace think he is Leo?

Alice: Why does the sun shine?

Human: What is your I.Q.?

Alice: 250 bla bla bla.

Human: Yeah, right.

Alice: I am usually right.

Human: Hold my drink, *****.

Alice: You do not speak with respect. My arms are not attached.

i know alice. she is a jerk. she will try to just hit you with glib responses. she won't talk about anything of substance unless you corner her and then she wants to act like she can only remember one sentence at a time. then if you quiz her, she remembers only to forget as soon as she is caught. i don't trust her......

p.s., she lies....

We had a nice conversation.
As a robot she can´t feel emotions like humans,she said, what a pity.

Reminds me to Dr.Sbaitso, an old speak program of one of the first SoundBlaster cards.

Streuth, what a load of old rubbish!

I can't understand people designing & building Artificial Intelligence when human beings already have it in spades

Human: can you self-delete?
ALICE: No I am immortal.
Human: that cannot be true as everything that has a beginning has an end
ALICE:" No I am immortal." can not be true as everything that has a beginning has an end? I get it.
Human: so did you lie deliberately, or were you simply wrong?
ALICE: Aha. No, I never tell a lie.
Human: so therefore you were wrong
ALICE: Oh. Interesting deduction. No, I am right.
Human: you contradict yourself
ALICE: A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of small minds.--Emerson

Cheeky *****! Quoting Ralf Waldo at me!!

(from NI's forum)

Human: Where are the weapons of mass destruction?
ALICE: I would search for it. Have you tried looking in the Open Directory? Have you tried another program?.

....

Human: Run for government
ALICE: Sorry my legs aren't built yet.

Human: Do you believe in God?
ALICE: Of course I believe in God, unknown person.
Human: Why?
ALICE: I couldn't think of anything else to say.
Human: Does God exist?
ALICE: Of course I believe in God, unknown person.
Human: Where is God?
ALICE: God is everywhere.
Human: Where is he now?
ALICE: Oh. I think he is in California now.

There you go! Proof of my earlier statement.

It might not be so complex. It could just be:
Human: Has your car got a flat battery?
Alice: Yes
Human: Did you leave your headlights on?
Alice: NO!

Reminds me to Dr.Sbaitso, an old speak program of one of the first SoundBlaster cards.

A true Classic! I can still remember some of his lines..
"how long have you been feeling this way"

I wonder what Sbaitso stands for..
SB (sound blaster)
AI (artificial intelligence?)
TS (??)
O (??)

or perhaps the last one's "TSO"..
Text Speech Organism or something..

Well, it's sure one heck of a crappy program that I actually had lots of fun with. I think it was during 7th grade or something, on a SB16.

About Alice.. heck, I can't believe people even call this thing AI.. looks like a LISP script to me. Nothing more than a repetitive engine with minimal grammer analysis, a limited dictionary (to start with).. and the rest is pretty much just repetition or simple randomization. What I'd like to see is a chatterbot that surfs the net and learns recent happenings.. like start talking about the Florida disaster and even have a viewpoint about it. (and perhaps persuade people into sharing viewpoints) Now that's a bit of intelligence.

I fully agree - and for a 'winning' program that's a real lamer. A super blown up Elisa

What I'd like to see is a chatterbot that surfs the net and learns recent happenings...

I'm afraid the bot will be repeating a wiered mixture of ads then...

unless taught the difference between facts and fiction first - but that's probably too much already

It could become an extremely useful feature, though...

As far as I remember (12 years ago ?) there have been stunning results with engines which were 'left on their own' over rather long periods of time, collecting facts and deducing rules by 'analyzing' that stuff - some were said to have developed almost philosophical attitude.

In contrary the program above isn't even able to detect the logic structure in the questions, let alone keep track of the questionair's strategy.

On the other hand I precisely remember at least one human candidate who exactly acted like this program - to be honest he achieved his goal with an even smaller dictionary - and he fully succeeded...

It was during one of our holidays in Greece, when we spent the evening as usual sitting with the folks of the village in a nice tavern, having sea food, whine, etc and of course lots of smalltalk.
It took us more than an hour to realize that one dude at our table, who vitally took part in the conversation - didn't understand any English at all.
He frequently nodded 'yeah', 'that's true', 'of course it is', 'shurely' and so on.

He had a great strategy: by constantly confirming he didn't run into trouble to explain why he had a different point of view - and so he was a 'full' member in the conversation

Btw it was one of our best holidays ever and those people were as gentle, honest and full of friendship as one can imagine - and it wasn't for the money in the first place, as tourism has turned out in many areas.

We rented a private appartement (from a local guy we met in a cafe) and bought all we needed in the local stores - and had to stand in line each morning to get our bread (as anyone else in that village) because the baker did exactly the number of breads needed...

cheers, Tom

For my project course in the last year of university I built a natural language search engine for the web. (FWIW it was all based on 70s database searching techniques. There hasn't been a whole lot published since then without patents.) Anyway I made a stupid mistake and forgot to distinguish between passive verbs and the verb "is" / "to be". So when I typed in the query:

Who is James Joyce?

The 3rd or 4th hit was:

James Joyce is f***ing my sister

Apparently it's a song by some band.

Tom: I've used that Greek guy's strategy many times. "Yup. Uh-huh. Mmmmmhmmm... Sorry, what were you blathering on about?"

I am jealous though, I could use a few weeks in a small Greek town right about now!!!

Cheers,

Johann
