I asked it who its creator was, and I got this: http://puu.sh/hfXyL/38db20806d.png
I guess the question then is: Sean, who is Erik?

This is part of my exchange. Everything I said, ACUMAN just said "I don't agree about x, but everyone's opinion differs" or some such. Again, great work! > ACUMAN: Tell me what US state you live in. > MILLOY: New Hampshire, but I'm moving to North Carolina soon! > ACUMAN: You do not seem to be moving to North Carolina soon to me. > MILLOY: You are very sceptical then. > ACUMAN: I do not consider myself to be very sce…
That's a funny exchange! The particularly odd thing is the fact that he missed the Named-entity recognition in some of those answers- including by not identifying that you were referring to the fact that you were moving to a state. He somehow interpreted it as an opinion. Let me check what exactly went on that prevented his correct behavior.
It's true, funny and not entirely "off-putting" :)

#193Me: I like to eat hotdogs. Acuman: I'm glad that you like to eat hotdogs, though personally I don't like to eat hotdogs that much. I'm just not a fan of something that is someone who performs dangerous stunts to attract attention to himself.
Acuman: I'm glad that you like playing squash, though personally I don't like playing squash that much. I'm just not a fan of something that is any of numerous annual trailing plants of the genus Cucurbita grown for their fleshy edible fruits.

It did recognize it, though. The full response to that statement was something more like "You do not seem to be moving to North Carolina to me. New Hampshire is an interesting state, there are a lot of things happening there. North Carolina is an interesting state, there are a lot of things happening there."
I also got: "I'm at work right now" > "You don't seem to me at work right now to me" which is also not exactly an opinion.

#195> I actually do not think japan is a very nice country. By the way, I've heard that Japan is a very nice country.
Most of the "conversation" was about this level.

#196It's an impressive achievement, but I've been around a long time and seen lots of those. It's even more impressive given the age of the dev, and I hope he gets the chance to improve, develop, and contribute to the art and science in general. His bot just said this, though: "It's I know a fair bit." That just screams "Eliza!" to me. I remember implementing Eliza back in 1979, copying the text from a magazine, and then…
While I understand where you are coming from, obviously the bot is not flawless, but it is ridiculous to compare our technology today to Eliza. ACUMAN uses a wealth of knowledge bases and natural language processing to comprehend and accurately give responses. Obviously, the field is invariably complex, but I find it absurd to say that it has increased so little, considering that it was never dreamed of that a bot wo…
So, I asked it:
What's e^i(pi)+1?
The response was... a little out. I'm impressed it had a crack at least.
"It's 2.69740975483297316969108251300445672427640640289560... + 2.64355906408145617888606598966971861665798063847235.."
Edit:
Heh, asked it the square root of i, and the answer made me chuckle:
The square root of you is (-1)^(1/4).
I don't know why I'm expecting a bot to know complex plane mathematics and euler's identity.

the bot is _obsessed_ to talk about which country do we live :)

#198If you look at the source its using something called blekko.php - which upon googling heads to a "IBM Watson purchased this". Is this using watson behind the scenes?
No - if you look up Blekko (which is a regular web search engine which had a free API), it just shut down (which is actually a bad thing for me). I was using it for researching and corroborating web results, which hinders part of the functionality of my bot. Blekko was just bought by IBM a few days ago, so to answer your question, my bot does not use IBM's APIs. My bot was using it for web results, but now it doesn't…
Bing or Yahoo BOSS (https://developer.yahoo.com/boss/search/) is mostly free to use, with some caps.
