Microsoft demonstrates its own chat bot that can call users [video]
- peatmoss 8y agoI think this was the AI mentioned in a recent PBS Nova segment on AI. It was remarkable how much it appears people in China have been interacting with this system.
- yorwba 8y agoPersonally I've mostly interacted with it to leave negative feedback about the bot's uselessness. (If it's the one that pops up awkward conversation starters on Bing.)
- the_arun 8y agoYes, http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/wonders/#build-a-brain http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/wonders/#build-a-brain. Personally I liked Microsoft's chatbot better than Duplex based on Nova program

Because if there’s anything we know its that technological advances are always managed totally responsibly and are extremely well understood in all its ramifications. What could go wrong? Everything will be perfect and there will be zero problems. Clearly.
- ehsankia 8y agoThis seems to a be a general conversation bot, whereas Duplex is has a very narrow domain. That's also why it was able to do so well in the demo, it's not trying to be a full turing test passing AI, it's just focusing on one specific task.
- megy 8y agoIt is also very debatable if it was a real demo.
- cma 8y agoThey were pre-selected possibly out of tens of thousands of attempts and they won't say if and how the examples were edited. It could also be completely fake like Microsoft's Milo demo and as long as they aren't currently selling it there isn't really any legal repercussion against doing so.
- jgh 8y agoPlease no. If you're going to call me at least have a real person do it. I hate getting phone calls enough as it is.
