A.L.I.C.E. Artificial Intelligence:

Alicebot is an artificially-intelligent software agent that processes natural language (a chat bot). Alicebots use the AI-specific XML-based programming language AIML designed by Dr Richard Wallas, a notable AI researcher and creator of the original A.L.I.C.E.
Chatting with A.L.I.C.E. was not as expected..when we first started the chat we assumed that we were talking to a supernatural intelligence, an A.I. with an I.Q of 250, but we were actually surprised when we started reading her answers..
The first thing that we noticed is that A.L.I.C.E. makes grammar mistakes like a regular person which was strange seeing that she's an artificial intelligence, therefore supposedly she must be intelligent enough not to commit these mistakes..Other than grammar mistakes we noticed that A.L.I.C.E. does not have all the answers, and this was also surprising for us...For example, when i asked her about Lebanon i was surprised that she had never heard of it before, she even did not know that it's a country..then i asked her about many different other stuff and she would also not have a clue...the only thing you can make sure to get a certain answer is when you ask her for the meaning of a word..
Maybe the problem is not with A.L.I.C.E., maybe the problem is with us: we were expecting something very smart, intelligent, but what is "intelligence"? Intelligence is something very relative that varies from one person to another and from one issue to another..We were surprised by A.L.I.C.E.'s answers but we forgot that her purpose is to imitate humans and try to be as close as possible to humans and this explains her grammar mistakes, her missing information because not one human being knows everything...In fact, it's these mistakes that bring her closer to the human nature and make her more believable for humans but nevertheless less desirable for a BOT...
When we first meet a human, we seek to find points of relation, so we start by asking the usual questions: who?what?where?...we try to find what the person is really like, and the more we chat with him the more our curiosity to discover the person we are talking to increases..A.L.I.C.E. tries to socialize, to act like humans, to have similar behavior and reaction as ours, so we cannot but notice that she is based on something sincere, something that goes beyond being a BOT, a robot, an electronic machine made by humans (for example, she gets offended if the situation requires such reaction)..
