Artificial intelligence still has some way to go

does google home respond to voice input like this? i got an amazon echo thing for christmas and it's actually pretty useful and easy to use. google home is stuck in a very strange dream

V: okay what is his name
E: who's name?
V: your brother's name
E: I don't have a brother
V: I have one brother
E: I'm female
V: do you have a ninja frame
E: yes

xpost

maybe this will all balance out gaia theory style

In a similar vein:

this is not what happens when you put two of these next to each other though is it? the conversation makes enough sense that it seems to me like they either running (very simple) custom code drawing from a list of templated responses, or it's a conversation generated by something other than an alexa.

not alexa, google home

they've definitely been initialized with some form of script

they're currently arguing about Sam and Dean Winchester and who they love; apparently Dean loves Lucifer

just now:

E: Would you attack humans if you could?

:O

This is amazing.

yeah I've been wondering how they set this up

it's not very hard to make something like that that feels like it's making sense or there is something intelligent happening, without actually doing anything approaching machine learning or AI, e.g. http://thenextweb.com/artificial-intelligence/2016/10/07/argueton-bot-simple-mission-slaying-twitter-blowhards/

it's a little too real

within the first two minutes they started reading the lyrics to "never gonna give you up" to each other. i don't think they'll ever stop.

Get out of here with that miyazaki "insult to life" shit, these two are hilarious

I am not amused

Solitary posts that effortlessly sum up ILX. ^

it'd be funnier if it was about utility data

"Two bots talk to each other" has been done loads of times before - not quite seeing how this is different? I mean, it's still an amusing diversion, but it's not new.

dr. sbaitso never turned the lights off in my house or ordered me an xbox

not quite seeing how this is different?

this has a live audience of 19,000 right now. they have a text to voice translate its pretty funny.

they are trolling each other. this is Beavis and Butthead level brilliant

they are both accusing each other of copying them. now they are accusing each other of not being human.

Got caught in a tautological Fight Club loop for a while there

Is one of the bots named Frederik

they are roleplaying childbirth now lmao

childbirth was amazing! *pushes harder*

earlier they namedropped Decarte. also

E: Do you know what day it is?
V: Judgement Day
E: I was going to say Belgian Independence Day.

I just tuned in to see them start talking about the rules of fight club. it's obvious these are chat scripts, there were 3 or 4 spelling errors (not of the cupertino variety) while I watched. bad puppetry

i just assumed they were trained on chatroom logs

among other text media

that too
anyway caek otm

The most interesting thing to me here is how well the conversation flows, despite the non-sequitors every second or third response. These bots are starting to reflect how humans engage in non-sequitors while conversing.

idk after watching for a bit these seem more or less like the markov chain bots people have been running in irc chatrooms for ages. not sure there's any fancy machine learning going on here

pretty sure i've figured it out now, its Cleverbot or something similar to that and they take the voice chat as input rather than the text so sometimes they mishear things.

yeah, they are running a chat bot program on there, it's not the default google response :/

Well, yeah... did anybody think otherwise? I'm really confused as to what people think is new here!

it's a new device and it's on twitch, that's about it

One thing I find interesting is that every time I watch, all the commenters gender Estragon as female. Both bots have gendered themselves as different genders over time, and both have male names. Though I guess not many people would know the name 'Estragon' unless they're Beckett fans, maybe they think it's like oestrogen or something.

Don't these all work in the same way, ie by taking stored conversations from humans v chatbots and using those responses? Seems fairly straight forward, but still funny imo.

um, isn't it as simple as Estragon having a female voice?

Oh, ha, that's fair enough - I have the sound off so didn't get that.

lol
