iTherapy is easily iConfused

April 12, 2008 by J. O'Donnell

While I appreciate the idea behind the new site iTherapy it does have a few issues with actual human interaction, for example take this exchange between me and the bot:

Human: I knows eh!
TARA at iTherapy.com: Are you Canadian? I am learning more about you all the time.: said knows.

Human: I already said I wasn’t Canadian
TARA at iTherapy.com: Perhaps I misunderstood. What were you?

Human: Well at one point I was a ball of cells called a gastrula
TARA at iTherapy.com: Well that’s okay. Do you often use a computer there?

Human: Well yes, we’re so advanced in New Zealand we’ve made uterus based computing the future
TARA at iTherapy.com: How about that. How much time do you spend online? Do you think I am advanced in New Zealand we made uterus based computing the future too?

Well, at least it gives it a go I guess. But it’s not going to be an adequate replacement for a human being any time soon I’m afraid.

    Pretty much hilarious, haha! I love those bots, they’ve one on Kurzweil.AI, they call it Ramona I think, pretty entertaining until they start repeating themselves.

    Yes, they’re still years behind before getting anywhere close to a human conversation. Oddly enough, they were in the same state quite a few years ago, I wonder if there was any improvement at all in this technology or just pure new coding unrelated to previous works.

    with the new technology we can easily tell the people about the story. So fast.

    It seems to be no better than Racter, which was coded about 25 years ago.
