Feedback learning and generalization in robotics takes a step forward.

If I were making six bucks an hour, I'm sure my tipping behavior would change. I'd probably never eat in a place where a tip is expected.

When I was damn near homeless I still gave "spare change" to people who asked for it. There's always somebody worse off than you (and the worse off you are, the more likely you are to notice them).*applies for saintlhood*

I've often thought that someone should enter a creationbot for the Loebner Prize. Because if its responses bore no relationship whatsoever to anything its human interlocutor was saying, that would be completely realistic.Edited by Dr Adequate, : No reason given.

I want to laugh at that, I really do. It is witty, humorous and appropriately pointed. Just the kind of intellectual humor that deserves a "ROFL."However, you have hit a big red pulsating hot button.Loebner has single-handedly destroyed the very concept of the Turing Test. He has made himself, his prize and, by association, the goal of the Turing Test a laughing stock in the Intelligent Systems discipline.Not to detract from the brilliance of your post, as most of your quips indeed are, but at this one I can only cry for the tarnishment of one of Turing's most genius insights.Edited by AZPaul3, : No reason given.Edited by AZPaul3, : Late proofread?
