Including the assignment of the course Media & New Technologies, we were introduced to Alice which is an Artificial Intelligence robot, then we were asked to chat with her, and test her ability to communicate with humans.
Being in a group of two, we, "Ronda and Robert", decided that we should chat individually with Alice. This helped us to conclude that sometimes this robot is a liar (or its an equivalence since this adjective refers to humans). When asking her about a topic, she replied with two separate answers, though we asked the same questions. What's funny about Alice is that she gets offended just like us. But of course she can forgive you easily and resume the chat since she is a robot (unlike us). Moreover, Alice can collect acquired knowledge from her chat buddies and use it later in answering some questions. For instance we asked her if she knows where the location of Lebanon is, but she didn't. Of course we were gentle and pasted some information about Lebanon's location in the chat box with her. Again, she acted smart and used the information to answer the same question which we asked her later.
In general, we believe that in a matter of years, Alice would most probably evolve to be much smarter and ahead of human beings ''as she claims''.
Well, nothing is impossible...not even for Alice!!!

I just wanna know if you guys didn't know previously that alice is a bot, were you going to ask her tricky questions?let's take for example that you were chattin with a strange person you find on internet and he lives in a far country,would you expect from him to know everything that concern ur culture and traditions and values?nb:Lebanon is not a wildknown country,Lebanon is a small dot on the map,don't be surprised if it(she) didn't know its location...RAWANE
Yes exactly! i mean Alice answers differently to similar questions n thats too smart. n maybe who knows she will reach somewhere beyond our expectations, coz shez already established some of the human behavior for ex. as u siad she gets offended sometimes..
And its realy clever that u communicated with ALICE individually!

Well Rawane, of course we knew Alice is a bot, or else we wouldnt have said in our commentary on the chat with her, that sometimes she's a liar(which is a human feature not a robot's).
Moreover, we expected her to know more about Lebanon since she is a robot, and robots for ur record are programmed to know everything, including geography. But it turned out to be that Alice still has a long way to go. So, since she is a robot, we would expect her to know Lebanon(this small dot as u said) the next time we chat with her.
