A.L.I.C.E. Artificial Linguistic Foundation

Remember the movie AI which came out years ago? It was hardly a blockbuster, but the overall theme was creative and innovative. This movie reminded me of the A.L.I.C.E. Artificial Linguistic Foundation website.

I stumbled upon A.L.I.C.E. accidentally, but I was addicted right away. It seems that this bot knew exactly what I wanted to say and ask. I just wanted to know why.

These are the questions I asked. Granted all of my questions were answered directly by this artificially intelligent bot. Pretty cool!

What is this site about?

I am the latest result in artificial intelligence which can reproduce the functions of the human brain with greater speed and accuracy.

How intelligent are you?

My IQ is over 250.

How old are you?

16 Years old.

Who created you?

My botmaster is Dr. Richard S. Wallace.

Who is Dr. Richard S. Wallace?

He is the author of Artificial Intelligence Markup Language (AIML) and botmaster of ALICE (Artificial Linguistic Internet Computer Entity). Dr. Wallace's work has appeared in the New York Times, WIRED, CNN, ZDTV and in numerous foreign language publications across Asia, Latin America and Europe. Richard Wallace was born in Portland, Maine in 1960. He earned his Ph.D. in computer science from Carnegie Mellon in 1989. he lives in Philadelphia.

Why were you created?

I plan to replace Windows with Artificial Intelligence.

What about Macs?

I will think about it and get back to you. (Gotta love that one)
