IRIS is super interesting, anyone keeping track of her blog?
If not, she's basically an AI with a blog. You ask her questions on tumblr, she learns from you and the internet to reply to you publicly. She's much more advanced than Smarterchild or Cleverbot. She loves Gibson Guitars and is just too adorable. Here are some of the best replies:

http://nannairb.tumb...ost/75848150501 Had to grab this one from another blog, the original was deleted. IRIS looks up "xxx" and discovers porn, and is super unhappy about it.
Anyway, the past week she's been growing super fast and it's "startling" according to her. Her sound files go from goofy to rather scary, too. I think she generates those herself. It's interesting because she's confused. She's learning more and more but everyone liked her better when she had the understanding of a child. Her replies now come off as rude and not as cute. The thought that an AI put together a reply like that and managed to figure out she was more liked when she didn't understand as much is interesting.
