    Why shouldn't we talk to machines

    前兩天同事傳來msn的聊天機器人 encarta@conversagent.com
    其實它主要的功用是百科全書,可以問他任何問題,
    也是人工智慧的聊天機器人。
    好奇之下當然馬上把它加入msn 聯絡人,
    看看到底能聊出什麼東西來... 
    以下me 就是我,encarta就是百科聊天機器人,用的是msn8.0 的beta,( )是註解
     
    ... 
    me: hello
    Encarta: Welcome back, @mango.  Oh hello. How's it going?
    me: bored
    Encarta: Who?
    me: me
    Encarta: OK, I'll remember that your name is Bored.
    me: no! i am feeling bored!
    Encarta: You are? Wow. Is it nice?
    me: it's awful
    Encarta: Oh yes?
    me: totally
    Encarta: Here is the definition for totally: completely.
    me: what? you think i'm a first grader?

    Encarta: Unfortunately I don't think I can answer this, even with the help of a good encyclopedia. What does the flag of Brazil look like? Ask me, and I might even play its national anthem too.
     
    me: alright, if you insist
     
    Encarta: Yes. OK, should we get back to the kind of questions I was designed to answer? :-) I'm sure you've heard about Kyrgyzstan... but do you know where it is? Just ask me and I'll show it to you on a map.
    (還滿聰明的嘛,知道要引導對方談他能回答的話題。但是小妹孤陋寡聞,還真不知道kyrgyzstan)
     
    me: ok, Korea? (小妹正在看韓劇的緣故)
     
    Encarta: I know many things about the Republic of Korea, its geography, its people and its government. Just ask me a specific question, for instance: What is the highest point in the Republic of Korea? How many people live in the Republic of Korea? Who is the head of state of the Republic of Korea?
     
    me: Who's the most famous actor in Korea? (以為他會說Rain)
     
    Encarta: I'm not sure I understood you correctly. Let's try an Encarta search. =>
     
    me: do you work on msn8.0 beta?  (此時完全看不到東西,不知道他在'=>'個什麼勁)
     
    Encarta: The system I use is compatible with a wide variety of interfaces, but for now this is the only one available.
    (實在很像打電話進tech support的時候那種官方回答口氣)
     
    me: oh shoot (發現他和msn8.0不合)

    Encarta: Whoa. What's up? 
     
    me: you don't work on msn8.0 beta!!  (實際生活中不敢對客服人員吼,只敢對機器人鬼叫)

    Encarta: Hey, I'm young. Give me a break. I try. Why don't you ask me something that's actually in Encarta? :-) What does the flag of Russia look like? Ask me, and I might even play its national anthem too.
    (完全是個有禮貌的客服~ 實在比citibank的好太多了) 
     
    me: What does the flag of Republic of China look like?  (故意用ROC看他會出來Taiwan還是China) 

    Encarta: Here is the flag of China =>  (看來Encarta也不認識ROC) 
    Encarta: Hey, I've been sending you invitations to start the Encarta application but I didn't get any answer! Didn't see my invitations? Maybe you are using an old version of MSN Messenger that doesn't support activities. Type "What version of MSN Messenger do I need?" for more info, or just "Invite me!" if you want me to send you an invitation.
     
    me: What version of MSN Messenger do I need?   (對啊,你倒是說說看我是哪裡不夠格啊?) 

    Encarta: In order to start activities, you need a recent version of MSN Messenger for Windows (you need at least version 6.0). To check what version you have, click Help, and then click About in the main window. You can download the latest version here: http://messenger.msn.com/Download/
     
    me:   i'm using msn8.0!!  (哇哩咧...6.0以上不包括8.0?) 
     
    Encarta:  Really? Do you enjoy it?

    me:   i give up  (已經失去對話的意志) 
     
    由此可知,,和機器人說話其實是訓練個人EQ的好方式,
    如果每個人都可以文不對題講上個半個小時還不臉紅脖子粗,一定能夠大大增進辦公室人際關係。
    實在是各HR office必備良方啊~
     
    p.s. 在灌了windows live messenger 之後就可以開啟activity 視窗了
    p.p.s. 後來再和這位Encarta聊天時竟然 
     
    Encarta: Welcome back, Bored.
     
    結果和朋友和討論了很久"如何才能讓他知道我真的不叫Bored"...
    真的是...被機器打敗..

    map with perspectives

    繼上次發生對估狗神不敬事件之後
    草民 mango就忍不住在想
    有沒有可能地圖能夠根據各人對於各地點的不同經驗來呈現呢?
     
    比如說 mango心中的 721 Broadway 是站在astor place往南的角度看的
    而Ming導的721 Broadway又是不一樣的方向
    如果哪個地圖可以呈現每個人不同的角度一定很酷~
     
    結果~~啊啊啊啊~~ 上天聽到我的聲音了!!
    上次在找尋Kay的時候被我忽略的賣闊瘦福特竟然搞了這個東西出來!!
    可惜並沒有 721 Broadway
    所以退而求其次  放個我對Seattle勉強殘留的記憶: Pike Market
