Hal Lives! But Talks Like A Baby
from the Dave?--What-are-you-doing? dept
An artificial intelligence company has created an AI system they call Hal - named after (of course) the homicidal computer in 2001. Perhaps that's not the best name. Anyway, they've gotten it to the point where it can talk like a baby. They're hoping to gorw it up to a five year old's level of conversation in the near future. They admit that it's not intelligent, but that it is getting better at simulating human conversation.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
