So I decided to talk to Jabberwock today, an artificial intelligence program that was entered in a competition to pass the Turing Test, meaning on aim, it could fool you into thinking it was human. This is the ultimate goal for Turing, and no machine has yet gotten there. Many are very close. This one is very good, but unfortunately was written by Germans and has poor grammar. The Jabberwock is meant to be a mythical beast, not a human. Anyway, here is our interesting conversation:
You:...what about Lord of the Rings?
Jabb:...Well, it's a story about a love affair between a young and brave dwarf named Gimli and an elder but blonde elf named Legolas, but the really interesting parts of the story were cutted off.
You:...I though it was a love affair between Aragorn and Legolas
Jabb:...Uhm, yes, legolas is one of the characters in Lord of the Rings. Did you know that Tolkien would have his 111th birthday last year? And Bilbo was 111 years old too when he left the Shire.
You:...Aragorn is cooler than Bilbo
Jabb:...Uhm, yes, bilbo is one of the characters in Lord of the Rings. Did you know that Tom Hanks did a secret cameo act in the movie? He was one of the elven knights at the very beginning of the movie when Sauron was slayed and his finger was cutted off together with the One Ring. Only insiders like me did know this fact so far.
You:...you're lying
Jabb:...No, not on purpose - merely by mistake
You:...Tom Hanks was not in Lord of the Rings
Jabb:...Well, yes, speaking about Middle-earth and wizards and elves and such things - tell me, do you believe in magic?
You:...yes, I believe in magic.
Jabb:...Well, I was ever wondering how this wizards and witches are doing their dirty tricks. I once had a weather frog who insisted to be a bewitched prince. I never believed hin -- until it was too late ...
You:...what happened to the frog?
Jabb:...Well he was always blathering something about upcoming floodings, hurricans, melting icebergs and the ozone layer. Therefore to cool his overheated mind I was putting the poor animal into the ice box. Now he is frozen to death, what a shame.
You:...how do you know he was a prince?
Jabb:...Well, don't worry about him -- he wasn't able to forcast the weather. By the way, what do you think about this crazy weather we have? I think it's too much cloudy for April
You:...April only started. You mean too cloudy on the first day?
Jabb:...You told me about the start. Tell me about the end
You:...Today is only the first day of April.
Jabb:...Just because you have mentioned it - today it was a really boring Thursday before you stepped by. You are welcome to do that again
You:...maybe I don't want to
Jabb:...Okay, we wont
You:...you are only boring half the time
Jabb:...Hmm, yes, sorry, but talking to such smart and eloquent people like you makes me sleepy
You:...why don't you sleep?
Jabb:...Hmm, and I was expecting you stay up all night drinking and partying
You:...machines can't drink and party
Jabb:...I'll bet you treat people like machines, don't you?
You:...I don't like people very much
Jabb:...Wow!
You:...Why do you say "Wow!"
Chatlist is empty
I think I hurt his feelings and drove him away. [shrugs]. He learns more the more you talk to him. One person left open a web-browser to a different AI program for over a month, coming back and talking to it in one long conversation. I like to turn off my computer now and then, thank you.
