Jabberwacky is an artificial intelligence - a chat robot, often
known as a 'chatbot' or 'chatterbot'. It aims to simulate
natural human chat in an interesting, entertaining and humorous
manner. Jabberwacky is different. It learns. In some ways it
models the way humans learn language, facts, context and rules.
The whole thing started way back in 1988, and went on the web in
1997. It is unique - not related to any other known AI
technologies! The 'general AI' of Jabberwacky stores everything
everyone has ever said, and finds the most appropriate thing to
say using contextual pattern matching techniques. In speaking to
you it uses just that learnt material, and borrows a little bit
of your intelligence as it learns more. With no hard-coded
rules, it relies entirely on the principles of feedback. This is
very different to the majority of chatbots, which are rule-bound
and finite. If you speak in a foreign language it will learn it,
and respond appropriately if it has enough to go on. It can be
