Elbot Passes For Human, Almost
Elbot is a computer program disguised as a bot onscreen that recently won the Leobner Prize for Artificial Intelligence. The program actually fooled 4 of the 12 humans that questioned him to see if he was live. If you push his red button on the site below, you can chat with him, too.
This begs the question, "Are you sure that your latest chatroom bud is a person?" If you are not sure, head to Artificial Solutions main site and chat with Frank, a really creepy interactive AI that when we posted "LOL" responded, "Happy user, happy robot."
