That white suit (like ol' Mark Twain dun wore) am a good start, but you still needs some hillbilly lessons in the court-an-spark department.</p>
<p>So I skeedaddled over to Miss April and tried my luck:</p>
<p>April Scientist: Pappy: tell me more about yourself... are you happy?<br />
Pappy Enoch: April I sho wood be happy if'n you'd be my lovin' Teddy Bear<br />
AS: Pappy: Hello hello<br />
PE: April, do yu like heavy lovin' from a natural-born man?<br />
AS: Pappy: Where did you buy that outfit?<br />
PE: April mah mammy dun sewed it for me<br />
AS: Pappy: that's great<br />
PE: April where did you get them cha-cha bingos?<br />
ASt: Pappy: I made it.<br />
PE: April HOO WHEE<br />
AS: Pappy: HOO WHEE<br />
PE: April don't play wif my po breakin' heart!<br />
AS: Pappy: I will have to agree with you on that.</p>
<p>I aims to git that gal yet! This calls for kiddy-nappin' I reckon.</p>
<p>An if'n them folks wants Miss April back, they'll have to cross me an my shotgun, five ornery dawgs, and the bad-roads of Enoch Holler to git her! </p>Rodion Resistance commented on 'Meet April, the Bot Who Learns To Speak As She's Spoken To'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef01157156f134970c2009-07-30T23:19:46Z2009-07-30T23:19:46ZRodion Resistancehttp://www.avatrian.comDropped by several hours ago.

<p>Rodion Resistance: April, do you know Hamlet Au?<br />
April Scientist: Rodion: WTF.</p>
<p>XD</p>
<p>Seriously though, the conversation attempt I had with her ran along those lines. I've interacted with "classic" artificial intelligence engines like this before, such as ELIZA and Racter, and I'm a bit sad that, after 20 or so years, they still respond in a very similar manner as they used to. I thought that by this time, advanced parsing and better algorithms would come to the point that the conversation would actually be more sensible. But I can't deny that it was still an interesting, if not fun experience to talk to April.</p>Ayumi Cassini commented on 'Meet April, the Bot Who Learns To Speak As She's Spoken To'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef0115724a8954970b2009-07-30T18:41:10Z2009-07-30T18:41:10ZAyumi Cassinihttp://ayumicassini.blogspot.comOh my, April was terribly silly when talking with you, Hamlet :) Thanks for visiting her!
