Ever wanted to talk to a computer?

Post by Kaboom! » Thu Mar 03, 2005 8:53 am

Hi all Wonderlanders,

I know this has nothing to do with Wonderland, but I found something really neat in the web some days ago.

Apparently, Artificial Inteligente (AI) is evolving very quickly, and there are hundreds of chatbots you can talk to in the net.

This was a competition some months ago:

http://web.infoave.net/~kbcowart/


And the winner was Elbot. This is Elbot is a sarcastic robot who may be more human than he thinks. His purpose is to
entertain and amuse while showing what Lingubots can do. Elbot has a few special
robotic themes, but also takes on the challenging task of being conversant on just
about everything. He tries to keep the conversation going as long and as naturally
as possible, does not take artificial intelligence too seriously.

Here is the link: http://www.elbot.com/ (push the red button)

And have fun talking to him and to the other ones!! :P You'lll be amazed to see what a simple "computer" can tell you. :lol: :D

:D How cool was that?!?!!? I feel a tad silly typing to a computer but all the answers made perfect sense!! Even when I tried to catch him out with just one word - he started to play a word association game!!!

Thanks for that Kaboom - I'm not too good with the net so like it when somebody shows me something of interest. :D :D

Kaboom, thanks for the link! That was fun! I asked elbot if it was a male or female. The answer was androgynous! :lol: I asked if he would wash my windows and he answered that he was happy with his current operating system!

That is so much fun, thanks again Kaboom! I'm sending this link to some friends that will enjoy it as much as I do. :D
