This is a cool site one of you turned me onto a few days ago. The poster with a blue Earth in a hand that reads, "EFL 2.0," as his or her avatar. I really like it and just beginning to see what the site does. There is a virtual android named Patty to answer questions and then Rick models what you type into his text box. It obviously is still too primitive to converse well with it, but I wonder what we might see in only 5 to 10 years from now. Real androids are already being developed in Korea, Japan, and America, but are not yet employed. We are not far from asking the question in any situation such as when shopping and touring, "Is she real?" I want the job of programming their knowledge base and behavioral response systems. That is to train them how interact with people.
