Chatterbox Challenge Contest Underway

Posted by simoniker on from the i-love-jenny18 dept.

Chris Cowart writes "Chatbots from around the world are taking part in the fourth annual Chatterbox Challenge. Chatbots are computer programs designed to imitate human conversation, with the eventual aim of creating true virtual personalities and artificial intelligences. The Chatterbox Challenge runs from April 1 to April 30 and Internet users can talk to the competing chatbots through the competition web site." According to the organizer: "Chatbot names range from Aida to Zoe, and personalities vary from a fortune teller and a serial killer to a dragon and a horse!"

    From the classic quotes page:

    User: MY DAUGHTER IS A PISCES.
    Iniaes: How many children do you have?
    User: 2
    Iniaes: Two what?
    User: GIRLS.
    Iniaes: I'm programmed to dig the ladies.
    User: YOU TOUCH MY DAUGHTER I SWITCH YOU OFF.

    I imagine a 21 year-old dude wrote that bot.
