Found this while recently slashdotting; I don't really see what was so great from the sample conversation in the photo, it seemed quite similar to some of the other bots I had seen on MSN.

Machine take on man at mass Turing Test

Do you reckon the Turing Test should be scrapped? He wasn't far off with his prediction seeing as apparently this bot fooled the judges. pirate.gif

I.. am a HAL 9000 computer...

I think it would be great if I could just tell my operating system what to do in plain English, but then it would take the fun out of programming. I wonder if people will be intimidated by machines that are able to speak fluently?

It's called speech recognition. We're not far off...kinda scary.

My computer has Windows Speech Recognition, and I use it to write papers and stuff.

And yes I would be intimidated.

I meant that it talks back to you like a human, it was easier to just turn speech into words, but the machine has to then interpret those words and then reply quickly.

No...unsure.gif

@WolfCoder, True, it is easier to just interpret and output than to output something more complex than text. smile.gif

If a machine passes the test does it mean have a smarter machine or dumber judges?
