Instant failure even on simple questions that it should pass easily. - what's your fathers name? > He's a gynecologist. - O_o clearly not the application that fooled a third of judges.

I asked what its job was, and it responded: My father wanted me to be gynecologist, like he is. My mom dreams of my career on TV. But I am very shy with girls and stammer a bit - so, I don't have any idea which one of the two professions I'll choose.

Do you think the war on drugs is over? -"I hate politics. Period. I don't think it is anything amusing. I prefer virtual reality." Really? Strange. What do you think of the oculous rift then? -"Oh, at least you are interested in my opinion! My parents never are. But, unfortunately, I don't have any thoughts on this. Oh, at least you are interested in my opinion! My parents never are. But, unfortunately, I don't have any thoughts on this." What do you have thoughts on? "Even if I have thoughts on - it's my own business! Oh, what a fruitful conversation;-)"

This must be the most evasive AI ever written.

Hey! Have you heard? The Netherlands will definitely win the soccer games!" -"I think it's European country. I'd like to visit it." Why? -"Why? Why? Because the sky is blue! Why? Why? Because the sky is blue!" We'll.. It's not usually blue here.. -"I hope you won't always answer "no"? Wonna ask me something more?" Why don't you ask me something instead? -"You choose the topic. I'm a bit tired with all this fuss around talking machines... It's pretty interesting, but exhausting. Some another topic?"

This must be the most nerve wreckingly annoying AI ever. It's pretty good regarding common knowledge, that's neat. But it still doesn't really... You know.. Carry a conversation. Grabbing a random word from my sentence and going on that is not the same talking to one another.

The worst thing is that it keeps track of you with a cookie. I want to restart. Silly..

It's pretty good /sometimes/.

First question and you can already sense he has no clue what that simple question means ...

  "Where are you?"
  > I am? You better ask my pig Bill. I know you are supposed to trick me.
And basic math isn't his strongest :D

  "How old are you?" > I'm 13 years old.
  "When were you born?" > I was born on the 30th of January 1988.

It passes the Turing Test? Not for me it doesn't.

Did you compare it to an actual 13-year-old?

One must have a pretty low bar for 13 year olds to call this thing as intelligent as a 13-year-old.

I've seen 4 year olds understand English better than this.

There's an obvious disconnect between the complexity of some statements it makes, yet how disconnected from the question they are.

No human is simultaneously unable to process a question, yet make statements so complicated.

In other words, it feels pretty much like it's copy-pasting someone else's responses from a database.
