Indeed embarrassing. Actually, I can't believe that they called this chat-bot in any way intelligent. On top of that, this level of chat is the same since 90s, how come nothing has changed? And anyway, text chatting is/will never be a measure of intelligence, the Turing test in this form should never be considered.

You really need to live 13 years as a boy to be able to answer as one.




I've seen better in the 90's.


ELIZA comes from the top of my head, and did impress me at that time ( '94 ? ). Lately I found out it had a psychologist side in it, as per original design and the answering with a question.

Better? Maybe, maybe not. But after 20 years, to show no real progress at all? Baffling.


ELIZA is from 1966.


I've had conversations with more artificially intelligent text editors in the 90's.

I've seen human AOL users that were worse in the 90s...


Not much has changed because the people, companies, and institutions capable of making such improvements are now focusing on things with actual real world application.


Yeah, and they're mostly in the financial world.
