Was the demo that amazing though ? I feel it was full of tiny imperfections. (Not to be a nihilist, it was a big step forward for sure.)
Anecdotally, I've been told that there were cases were the human would react by saying "no, you are not a robot, you are human!" when they were told that the caller was a bot, but I haven't been able to verify this.
- TheDong 8y ago> not to be a nihilist You mean pessimist? Or was that not a typo?
- utopcell 8y agoWhat I meant is that I don't want to trivialize the work done
- bloak 8y agoThe demo was not amazing. Take the the original Eliza/Doctor program. Take the "Hello, this is Lenny!" program/recordings. Mix those with some basic speech recognition... The software might be good, better than what other teams would have produced, but I can't really tell that from a couple of carefully selected (and edited) recordings.
- utopcell 8y agoDefinitely much better than the scripted Eliza, but I agree with you. Let's have Duplex negotiate my comcast plan, then we'll talk about true AI!
