The prizes for the AI engine face off will be at least $200 for first prize, $100 for second prize and $50 for third prize. I hoping that it can be more if sponsor money comes in but that is what it will be if no one contributes any money.
This might sound like I am taking it out on you guys but I am not. In other forums I have been getting a lot of negativity towards this contest. I have also noticed that a lot of the so called long term bot masters have chosen to ignore my site as well and in all honesty after doing this for at least a couple of years I am getting ready to say h*ll with it and just shut down my site and delete any bots I might have.
Everybody is so d*mn protective of their method and not getting together while some real scientists have created a ai bot called cyc that has common sense, something lacking in most chatbots. There was a article in new science about it.
like one person at one forum said what's the point. and that is exactly how I am feeling right now.

as for everyones "methods" of AI processing - none of them are capable of true abstract thought or conciousness... I think that as the very hardware of the computers we use limits that capability for it operates on the binary system! a system using 1s and 0s can only do calculations one at a time, while our brain does millions simultaniously. I'd say that in order for AI to become real AI, or consious, thinking beings, we would need either some sort of nano or quantum computer with a completely different CPU hardware. Sigmund freud introduced a theory called "Gestalt" psychology. That is a theory that "the total is more than the sum of its parts". Freud thought that the brain works like that - that all of our millions of neurons working simultaniously and in a certain way caused intelligence, which is more than all of the neurons put together. We would need a technology far more advanced than our present computer technology to create a concious AI. So given our current technology, I also say, What's the point???
