Cool Waste Of Time - Chat With
An AI by Bryan Chaffin
Observer Ryan Huele comes through again with another Cool Waste of Time. Ryan points us to a very cool chat engine that is part of the marketing engine behind the movie "AI." This chat engine allows you to chat with "Jane," a piece of software that is designed to talk to you like a human. You can probably grasp the connection to "AI." From Observer Ryan:
Thanks for the tip, Ryan, we appreciate it! Both sites are definitely interesting, and as Ryan said, the AliceBot.org site has a lot of information. There are links to articles on AI issues, AI ethics, information on the project, and more. If you know of a Cool Waste Of Time, let us know. [Post Your Comments Below]The Mac Observer Spin: Fool around long enough with the chatbot, and it will eventually become obvious you are not talking to a real human, but what they have been able to do is very impressive. We are a long way away from having anything remotely similar to a true artificial intelligence, but it's projects like this that contribute towards taking us just a little bit closer. It's interesting that it has taken a movie to really awaken the topic in the minds of a lot of people; whether or not you cared for "AI," that it accomplished getting people to talk about the issue, including some of the many moral and ethical issues involved, check out a chatbot, and participate in things like AliceBot.org is a good thing all by itself. |
