Mitsuku Chatbot Wins Loebner Prize 2013

mikejuk writes "The final round of the 23rd annual Loebner Prize competition took place in Londonderry, Northern Ireland with four chatbots hoping to convince four judges that they were humans. Mitsuku, a chatbot that is kept busy chatting to people around the world, was awarded this year's bronze medal. Mitsuku's botmaster, Steve Worswick, used to run a music website. Once he added a chatbot he discovered more people visited to chat than for music so he concentrated all his efforts on the bot but he still regards it as a hobby. Mitsuku uses AIML (Artificial Intelligence Markup Language) and is a pandorabot, based on the free open-source-based community webservice the enables anyone who wants to, to develop and publish chatbots on the web."

It's like talking to a complete asshole who doesn't want to talk to you, and also happens to be retarded.

Hmmm ... I usually call those a 'family reunion'.

You're trying to be too tricky. Just go with it a bit... it's not foolproof or it would have won the loebner gold prize.

However it is really fun to talk to.

( Hint: type: reboot in your chat )

Damn funny stuff in there

I don't see how this is a bad response. It sounds like talking to a lawyer
