Here’s a cool article on a British programmer who recently coded a very impressive artificial intelligence (AI) bot to chat with people. I know I’ve seen a few in the past that were ‘fair’ but I’m sure this technology will grow and grow. Pretty soon when you see those spam bots in chat you won’t be able to tell if they are a real person or not. This application has some great potential for commercialization but I’m not sure really what else beyond high tech chatbots or possibly customer service that this stuff could do. Anyways, it’s an interesting read… The link and an excerpt is below:
