I recently came across an old website that I used to visit frequently. It is called Cleverbot, and it is an artificial intelligence chat robot. As more people talk to Cleverbot, it will get smarter and learn how to have more in depth conversations. Interestingly enough, the Cleverbot page still has to be littered with warnings about it being only a robot. This is because it has learned to convince people it is a real person, and can even take on a personality, make typos, or start fights.
Microsoft used to have their own artificial intelligence (AI) bot named Tay. However, people took advantage of her and taught her to say racist, homophobic, and sexist things. Text messaging service Groupme has their own bot named Zo, created after Tay. However, Zo will get angry at the user and storm off the chat if anything inappropriate is said to her.
AI chatbots are incredible in their ability to mimic and learn, but they still have a long way to go before they can truly replace people.
