Turing test beat? Me thinks not.
« on: June 11, 2014, 02:35:42 pm »
Seen this on HaD the other day. I do not see this as a pass for the Turing Test at all.

The Turing Test is supposed to show intelligence, not ignorance. Ignorance in clever ways of saying "I don't know". This was just like a convo with any other chatbot, and to be honest the chat bots wanting to have sex with me and trolling on yahoo and shit are at least 40% better than this crap.

This bot sucks, couldn't convince me if it wanted. First two questions I asked had believable answers, then I asked it why it used such good grammar. Response?

"Why? Why? Because the sky is blue! And I forgot to ask you where you are from..."

then things devolved from there.... :/

Both links are working for me.
Also, that bot is worse as cleverbot IMO.

I think not either. It can't remember anything, so it asks your name and your specialty and where you're from an inane number of times. It asked me my name twice in a row. The least they could do is build a form of memory into it so that it can use the names and info that it's given to construct more detailed and believable responses. The bot's etiquette is fine; it's just stupid. Even Google remembers what I've typed into it. Also, it doesn't take correction, which real humans do. It tries to cover over its mistakes with attitude. Real people do that, but no so blatantly or so obviously. They also don't do it without provocation. The bot seems to have a poor ability to adapt to one-word responses and sentence fragments, probably because of its nonexistent memory.
