Chatterbox Challenge Contest Underway

Posted by simoniker on Wednesday March 31, 2004 @02:43PM 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!"

With 1GB email storage, I don't see anyone wanting to search through that much crap just to find anything. Result: GB upon GBs of space wasted, and think of the SPAM that would accumulate, which Google must pay for to store!

SELL YOUR STOCKS

Oh, shit, they don't have an IPO yet!

Never mind....
