Questions in 2016 included: “What does Brexit mean?” “Would you like a cup of tea?” “What do you know about the Turing test?” and – a neat touch – “Do you dream of electric sheep?”īut the chatbots on Facebook Messenger and other apps such as Kik, Telegram, Slack and WeChat aren’t dreaming of electric sheep. Since 1991, the chatbot equivalent of the Olympics has been the annual Loebner prize, which challenges bots to converse with responses indistinguishable from a human’s. (In 1972, they were thrown together for a bot-to-bot conversation, which Parry quickly steered down a rabbit hole of corrupt horse racing gambling.) I think the developers need to spend a lot more time focusing on the personality and psychology of their bots The shopping and breaking news bots in Messenger’s ancestors are chatbots such as AI psychotherapist Eliza from the mid-1960s and Parry, a bot mimicking a human with paranoid schizophrenia, in the early 1970s. Both of their companies have launched tools to help developers create these bots, and between April and September, more than 30,000 were made for Facebook Messenger alone.Ĭhatbots aren’t a new technology.

Other methods of muck removal such as using muck removal pellets work at a much slower rate.Nadella and Marcus see chatbots – computer programs that you interact with by “chatting”, for example in threads in messaging apps – as an important new human/machine interface. Dredging with our sediment removal equipment is a fast and effective solution to removing muck and widening bodies of water. This versatile piece of equipment is small enough that it can be used in bodies of water that other dredging equipment cannot access. Dredging with the Dino6 can remove anywhere from 1’ – 13’ of muck and basin sediment from your pond and can go further with a boom extender. This helps to increase the clarity of your water, which allows more sunlight to the bottom. By decreasing the nitrogen-rich muck at the bottom of your pond, you can help it re-oxygenate. Muck and sludge remova l are vital to keeping a healthy pond for wildlife and to keep the water from becoming stagnant or becoming infested with invasive vegetation. Our line of muck removal equipment is comprised of our Dino6 dredge, pond aeration systems, and submersible pumps.
