Date Your Computer In 2029
July 15, 2014
Admit it, you have flirted with a chatbot before. You do not need to feel ashamed; everyone has tested a chatbot’s sentience before with love confessions and flirting. Most of the time the chatbot’s remarks are smart aleck or state that the relationship would be impossible. That might change says Kurzweil Accelerating Intelligence in the article “Search Engines Will Be Able To Flirt With Users By 2029.” Director of Google Engineering spoke at the recent Exponential Finance Conference about computers gaining near human intelligence. He claims that within fifteen years, people will be able to have an emotional relationship with a computer. The new science-fiction movie Her is a good example of how humans and computers will interact in the future.
Dr. Kurzweil’s comment alludes that Google is making process on a natural language search engine that will allow users to ask questions and get a meaningful response.
“ ‘That is the cutting edge of human intelligence,’ Dr. Kurzweil said. He was less impressed with claims that a chatbot emulating a 13-year-old Ukrainian boy called Eugene Goostman had passed the Turing test. Dr. Kurzweil said, ‘Eugene does not keep track of the conversation, repeats himself word for word, and responds with typical chatbot non sequiturs.’ “
It sounds like Google has something sequestered in its vaults, but people are still stuck flirting with chatbots. While you might have to wait before you can date an AI, at least these improvements will make speaking to an automated recording better.

” He claims that within fifteen years, people will be able to have an emotional relationship with a computer. ” I already have an emotional relationship with a computer…3 of them…and it isn’t fun. Updates to software, virus blocking, driver problems and issues with every update. It’s total chaos to me. But I manage…but there are times I lose my religion over these machines and their issues….and lose as well a lot of my money on them.
