'Rose' Wins 2015 Loebner Contest, But Big Prize Remains Unclaimed
The Next Web reports that developer Bruce Wilcox created the most convincing bot entered in this year's annual Loebner Competition. His latest entry, a chatbot named Rose, passed itself (herself?) off as a 30-year-old security consultant well enough to fool judges for a few minutes. But Wilcox's first-place entry was still not good enough to win the $100,000 Loebner Prize, to be given only for a more convincing impersonation.
The article notes: "This isn't Wilcox’s first entry – or win. In 2010, he took first place with a bot named 'Suzette,' and followed that up in 2011 with another win using a new bot called 'Rosette.'"

I disagree with this story and believe it to be Obama's fault.

that's why we need to award & perfect fake? we cannot even bear the truth about even ourselves? phewww
This is the conversation they tested the "winner" with: http://www.aisb.org.uk/media/f...
While it's kinda impressive that AI can do that, it's also clear that we are still a very, very, very long way from having a computer impersonate a human. What really surprises me is how hard all the entries found basic logic questions to be - I guess it is the language parsing bit that is giving them grief.

All transcripts here http://www.aisb.org.uk/events/...
Rose's is here (pdf) http://www.aisb.org.uk/media/f...
Damn impressive I must say.
If anyone wants to see things as they unfolded, the webcast is available at http://loebnerprize15.abdn.ac.uk.
If you need to know the current state of AI, just look at this snippet from the transcript of the test:
"
Question: If a bed doesn’t fit in a room because it’s too big, what is too big?
Rose: I don’t even want to pretend that.
"
That makes zero sense. Why no just respond with "I don't know what is too big", or "I dont know". What a joke. Yet some people around here claim AI is right around the corner...
Turing's idea on intelligence was an interesting early thought about what we mean by "intelligence", but I think, rather than proving we've produced intelligent machines, these chatbots illustrate that it's more complicated than that.
However the brain works, I think it very unlikely that it simply selects a best possible answer from a database. And looking at transcripts from these things, they're really not actually communicating much information. The most convincing answers always seem to be the least helpful ones.
But I will have to enter next year
I think a big part here is how generic they are. To create an AI bot that is designed to specifically only focus on one topic, we should have some pretty solid fakes out there. But when designing a chatboot that you can just shoot the shit with... that's going to be a damn tough subject. There are so many slang words and strange ways to word things. We need to create a bot that can identify the topic, then run a quick Google and Wikipedia search to understand key points and return a somewhat on-point response.
What if we turned to a site like Omegle, and had it run there. If the bot wasn't 100% sure of its response, it could respond back with something like "does that even make sense?" or "do you follow where I'm going?" This could be used to flag weak responses and have the dev team go in to sort out how to make it smarter as it goes.
He isn't an academic and thus he can't win this prize. There is no way a panel composed of University Academics is going to pick some guy who has held the title AI Guru at a game company. "He just isn't our sort of people." So no doctorate and no position at a "Leading" university thus no prize for him.
They will keep holding this contest until someone proper from MIT, Oxford, Stanford, etc has a winning entry.
Then there will be breathless press releases issued about an AI breakthrough with all this crap about how we will all be interacting with AIs like this in 10 years. They had might as well put propellers on it and front cover of Popular Mechanics it.
Over and over I see MIT and those sorts having "breakthroughs" that I read about years earlier done by people outside of academia.
They say that science progresses one funeral at a time; and I don't wonder why.
The reviewers in this are not pushovers. They stress the AI, rather than just chatting normally. And that's awesome. All of the questions were stuff that most humans could easily handle, but often required a basic understanding of reality from our point of view. Unsurprisingly, the AI flubbed it. Perhaps some decade one of those knowledge engines will get a firm enough grasp to be able to answer this kind of basic reality trivia.
"I will trust Google to 'do no evil' until the founders no longer run it." Hello Alphabet.
When I ask google a question on my smartphone, and that pleasant female voice answers, I know google is not human, because no human would know as much.
Where are we going and why are we in a handbasket?
