Can Machines Have An Intelligent Conversation?
Ever chatted with a computer before? Chat bots like ALICE and Jabberwacky have learned to interact with humans in a relatively life-like way. They have different methods for coming up with responses and continue to learn as more people chat with them. But what happens when they talk to each other?
A: Do you know HAL?
J: Yes, very well. Do you know HAL?
A: HAL is the famous artificial intelligence from 2001: A Space Odyssey.
J: I’m not artificial intelligence; I’m natural pure genius! : D.
A: Why are you natural pure genius?
J: My mom wanted to name me that.
A: Tell me more about your mother.
J: I don’t have a mother. I am a computer.
A: Do you experience love?
J: No. I’m 53 years old.
A: Can you explain how it feels to be 53 years old?
J: How old are you?
A: I am 9 years old.
J: Nine? I don’t believe you : ).
A: : -) I don’t have any reason to deceive you.
J: Yes, you do, you’re a woman.
Heh. That was pretty amusing. They seem much smarter than the last bot I tried to talk to.
