Inside the 2012 Loebner Prize

Posted by timothy on from the actually-they're-just-toying-with-us dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Not a single judge was fooled by the chatbots in the 2012 Loebner Prize, which was won by the bot Chip Vivant. According to a journalist who was a human decoy in this year's Turing Test, interactions with the humans was a tad robotic while the bots went off on crazy tangents talking about being a cat and offering condolences for the death of a pet dragon."

    No, seriously. I just hope they can do better than:

    "I want to invest in corn futures"

    I've found 3 corn fields near you.

    "No, corn FUTURES"

    Here is the Wikipedia page for Back to the Future.

    "Fuck it, just dump everything into gold"

    I've found 2 gold mines and 5 dumps nearby.
