I didn’t know Elbot was available on the web. I must say that it’s indeed a serious piece of crap.

Not sure what the hell happened with that Turing Test, but impressive… this is not.

Forgot what I wrote about Kurzweil cashing in on his bet with Kapor. The rules they agreed on were more strict than the ones used in this particular test, anyway.

I don’t know what’s wrong with the judges who were fooled. I think this is better as a test of the inadequacies of human cognition.

And putting me in touch with a version of Elbot for customer support would be a very quick way to lose my business. It’s about on par with the Word paper clip.
