Ok, I am getting a Masters of science in Computer Vision and AI. And I have to tell you guys tht the Backslash777 thing intrigued me and I can also say that it DID NOT operate independently of human interaction. My guess is these guys at Nasa are working on a natural language question and answers search engine with some human intervention thrown in to add to the illusion of a sentient being. I imagine tht the Nasa guys are really good at Starcraft as well and may have programmed a bot specifically for the game, which is not uneard of. I've made some bots myself for some games and they will kick ur butt. So will a computer chess bot. So they used you guys to see if you could figure it out. They also I think a while back fooled a psychiatist into thinking he was talking with a toddler in voice mode. Thts all, no aliens here folks, just Nasa ppl. Here is the website:
