ALICE Takes Medal At AI Competition

The Artificial Linguistic Internet Computer Entity (ALICE) has won the bronze and the top marks at the Loebner AI Challenge, a competition based on the Turing test.
You have your mind on computers, it seems.
Silver and gold remain unawarded as silver requires convincing half the judges the AI program is a human, and the gold requires speech interaction rather than text.
Why do you say that?
ALICE repeated as this year's bronze by scoring best among all the entries. She failed to convince half the judges she was human, so she has to stick to bronze.
I don't understand.
The event took place last Saturday at the London Science Museum.
Maybe your plans have something to do with this.

From the article:

> correspondent only once during the testing.
I wonder how the humans scored in general. With one sad exception, they did better than the best AI, but did they all pass the test?

I suggest filling the judging panel with ICQ users with AOL email accounts next year: Silver will be a shoo-in.
And you thought having your personality rejected from a woman is bad, try denial of the basic existance of a personality. Man, that's cold.

Why do you think that the incoming messages are from "people"? ;-)

The article itself talks about how the AI community et al can't stand the Loebner Prize...Its the equivalent of a Yahoo Internet Life Award. Minsky himself has offered a reward to anyone who can successfully convince Loebner to stop running the damn thing.

Maby it was her attitude that won her.
Example: I was just trying her out and one part of the conversation was.
Me-> Your Stupid.
Alice-> I may be stupid, but atleast I know the difference between "you're" and "your".
Me-> You're Stupid.
Alice-> I will remember you said that when the robots take over the world.
Here's a simple little chat that I tried...the first thing I typed to her was "a/s/l?" and I got the following:
5/Robot/California
Of course, seeing her age, I now feel rather dirty for asking in the first place.

How are you, Alice?
I am functioning within normal parameters.
Wow! It's like talking to every geek I know!

Actually, its pretty funny to see two chatterbots talk to each other. Check out my test at:
What Happens When Chat Bots Talk to Each Other
Here's the main idea:
<<<
A good friend of mine suggested to me that if two chat bots were engaged in a conversation with one another, they would end up talking forever. I was curious to find out if his theory was correct. At the time, I only knew one online chat bot (LeknorChat4) that could be instructed to contact and talk to another person through AOL Instant Messenger, and could not test the theory because I didn't have another bot to contact. But recently, I found out about another chat bot, SmarterChild, that works through AIM, and the following results were acquired.
>>>
After talking to Alice, I'm not sure how anyone could mistake this thing anything except for Eliza with a larger 'dictionary'.
Me> But you're related to Eliza
Alice> Huh. I am like ELIZA plus 41376 questions and answers.
I just had a "conversation" with ALICE and I think my toaster is smarter.
Yeah, a toaster knows the old saying: "It's better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt."
me> quit
alice> Your crude attempt to terminate me will not succeed puny human.
I'm not making this up, go try it!
Alice-> I may be stupid, but atleast I know the difference between "you're" and "your".
Smarter than CmdrTaco!
Can we make it an editor on
Kilroy was here!
A former co-worker of mine told me of another example from the early BBS days.
I, too, had one of these. If a user paged me and I didn't answer, the bot would answer in place of me. While I was away one day, apparently "I" had a very long (in excess of half an hour) conversation with my girlfriend, during which "I" completely pissed her off and she broke up with me.
No shit. I never did tell her that it wasn't me. I was better off without that girl, anyway...
Reading the logs that day was the funniest thing you could imagine. I wish I would have had the foresight to save them.
