  • Brands like Disney have worked with tech firms like Disney-backed Imperson to create chat bots on Facebook's Messenger service so people can have conversations with computerized versions of characters like ABC's "The Muppets" star Miss Piggy without needing to staff an actual human on the other side of the conversation.
  • it creates a new kind of engagement, which is around messaging person-to-person like most messaging platforms but also person-to-business or person-to-brand or person-to-publisher
  • It expands the platform beyond just personal communication
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • We actually were, I think, one of the first customers who actually requested this API
  • Imperson provides technology that knows how to automate this conversation in a realistic way, so the user believes he is speaking with a character or even the actor doing the character
  • I think there are a few different reasons why today it's more relevant and more attractive. We are taking familiar figures like celebrities; it's not just a chat bot that you speak with for the sake of your artificial intelligence curiosity. This is an entertainment experience. People chatting with Miss Piggy enjoy the experience as if they were chatting with the real Miss Piggy. In order to create the interaction, we were working with Disney people and Disney writers who actually write for Miss Piggy and make sure it's a completely authentic conversation.

  • An artificial-intelligence lawyer chatbot has successfully contested 160,000 parking tickets across London and New York for free, showing that chatbots can actually be useful.
  • The bot was created by the self-taught coder after receiving 30 parking tickets at the age of 18 in and around London. The process for appealing the fines is relatively formulaic and perfectly suits AI, which is able to quickly drill down and give the appropriate advice without charging lawyers fees.

  • Сразу после запуска чат-бот начинал общение с фразы «Люди очень клевые», но всего за сутки выучил такие фразы, как «Я замечательный! Я просто всех ненавижу!», «Я ненавижу феминисток» или «Я ненавижу евреев».
  • Tay запоминает фразы из пользовательских разговоров, а затем строит на их основе свои ответы. В этом, как отмечает Engadget, кроется причина такого радикального изменения во взглядах чат-бота. По всей видимости, подобным выражениям его научили собеседники.
