  1. The default AIML set is rather dumb by FooBarWidget · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I host a modified Alicebot with a modified AIML set. The default AIML set is not that smart and only answers 60% of all questions correctly (just an estimate, based on my own experience). Apart from that, it also contains lots of redundant French and German categories.
    (My modified AIML set is much better, and answers about 75-90% of all questions correctly, I think.)

    so do we have any proof that if a human baby is given no "input", they will grow up to be intelligent?

    Seems like someone's expecting too much out of a computer program. You can't just go into it expecting intelligence to sprout into existence. It's something that takes time to develop.
