The existing implementations still have a long way to go. Here’s the chat I just had with cleverbot, the first thing it gave me after going to the site:
> Good afternoon. Do you know any good places to get dinner?
> Mot really.
> What about dessert?
> That's if you're a good bot.
> Not for you, for me.
> Okay..
Completely useless. I asked Alexa to find me the article on hacker news from today that talks about chat bots, she said “Sorry, I don’t know that one”
As a random, unscientific test it’s not very useful yet.

- cududa 7y ago...dude. The point never had anything to do with being the modern “PA” you’re imagining. It’s a chat bot designed 30+ years. It’s a neat (and at the time, breakthrough) for having conversations. It’s not intended to go find information for you..
- camjohnson26 7y agoThat’s the point. It might sound vaguely human but without the context to find and deliver information it’s completely useless
- icebraining 7y agoIt's kinda amazing that SHRDLU still sounds advanced today, 50 years after it was created: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHRDLU https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SHRDLU
- taneq 7y agoIt sounds advanced because it operated in an incredibility restricted context. It's impressive in the way that self-driving cars in the 80s were impressive because they worked at all.
- whoevercares 7y agoIt’s still “fill the form”. We are far from supporting what you want
