What did one chatbot say to any other chatbot? Quite a bit, actually — but good luck making any sense out of it. That is what researchers from Cornell’s Creative Machines Lab recently discovered, after pitting two bots against each other for a very good ol’ fashioned talk-off . It is all portion of the lab’s submission to this year’s Loebner Prize Competition in Artificial Intelligence — an event that awards $100,000 to the team whose computer programs can conduct the foremost human-like conversations. Unfortunately for Cornell’s squad, their chatbots still have a ways to move before achieving conversational coherence, though they are able to easily get hired as anchors on most cable news networks. Inside the process their frenetic (and infrequently snippy) discussion, one bot raised heady questions on God and existence, while the opposite boldly claimed to be a unicorn. Basically, that they had the very same conversation we used to have in our dorm rooms every night, at around 4 am. Watch it for yourself after the break. It’s nothing in need of sublime.
