Years ago I used to play with something called NIALL (Non Intelligent Amiga Language Learner). You typed something into it, and in the beginning it woudl repeat it back to you. You then needed to respond intelligently back to its reponse. Over time the machine 'learned' to relate certain terms to certain expected responses until it got to the point where, in the early hours of the morning, you were able to convince yourself you were having an intelligent conversation with the computer. Is this an example of AI? NO, the clues in the name. The conversation between two bots throwing something vaguely intelligent out I see as being an extension of NIALL.
