George: What are you doing?

User: Saying hello to you!

User: Are you a monkey?

George: Do you think monkeys can type?

User: You told me they could.

This is a chat between a human “user” and a computer. The computer was designed to be as human as possible. It was taught to talk to humans. It has also learnt from what people have said to it. This has helped it to become even more human.

The technology that makes George talk is called Jabberwacky. This technology recently won the Loebner Prize. The Loebner Prize is a competition to find the most realistic artificial intelligence (人工智能). The judges had to talk to the computer. They typed questions to it. The computer answered.

Jabberwacky’s design team say it will be a long time before the programme is very realistic.

It was first created in 1982. It has been getting better every year since then. Each time it chats to a human, the list of things to say gets bigger. This means the computer has more things to say when you talk to it.

It is hoped that a computer like this will replace humans in call centres. When the programme is more realistic, this will be possible.
