Journal Entry: Try each of these chatterbots below and answer the subsequent questions in your Journal.

  1. Eliza 1. How realistic is she? 2.Would she pass the Turing Test?
  2. EvieBot: 1. How realistic is she? 2.Would she pass the Turing Test? Does the fact that the page has an image of a human, unlike Eliza, increase the chance that you feel it is a human responding to you?
  3. Replika (You create a character and it talks and plays game with you). 1. How realistic is it? 2.Would it pass the Turing Test? Does the fact that a face is on the link unlike Eliza, make you feel that there is a human connected to the responses?
  4. Cleverbot: 1. How realistic is it? 2.Would it pass the Turing Test?

Extra: Ometrics: A site full of good and bad chatterbots.
