Google claims its new chat box 'Meena' is the best in the world

After ‘Siri’ and ‘Alexa’ gaining all popularity, now even Google is set up for some pampering. Google has now come up with a new chat box Meena, claims it’s more hot and happening.

Reason? Well it responds like a human does.

Meena was trained on a whopping 341 gigabytes of public social-media chatter-8.5 times as much data as OpenAI’s GPT-2. Google says Meena can talk about pretty much anything, and can even make up jokes.

Meena can keep up with open-ended conversation that covers a wide range of topics, and most chatbots can’t keep up. At some point most say things that make no sense or reveal a lack of basic knowledge about the world.

A chatbot that avoids such mistakes will go a long way toward making AIs feel more human, and make characters in video games more lifelike.

To put Meena to the test, Google has developed a new metric it calls the Sensibleness and Specificity Average (SSA), which captures important attributes for natural conversations, such as whether each utterance makes sense in context-which many chatbots can do-and is specific to what has just been said, which is harder.

Well, not yet ready for use, Google won’t be releasing a public demo until it has vetted the model for safety and bias, which is probably a good thing.
