What did that solve?

That's always the official response from ANY company regarding upcoming software releases.

Human: Hello
ALICE: Hi there!
Human: Is this Samsung tech support?
ALICE: Yes I think this is Samsung tech support, but I'm not completely sure.
Human: I have the Captivate
ALICE: That's nice. I have a birthday on November 23, 1995.
Human: When will the GPS be fixed on the Samsung Captivate?
ALICE: Maybe never.
Human: I thought you promised a fix
ALICE: That's not what I meant.
Human: What did you mean then?
ALICE: unknown person, I mean exactly what I said.
Human: When will you release Froyo for the Captivate?
ALICE: Let me check my calendar and get back to you.
Human: You will be releasing it though, correct?
ALICE: When?
Human: That's what I'm asking you
ALICE: Who else have you asked?
Human: People on the forums but they don't know
ALICE: Humans are not always infallible.
Human: Trust me I know
ALICE: How do you know it?
Human: Because I've talked to Samsung before
ALICE: Good reason. What did you say when you talked to Samsung.
Human: Scroll up.
ALICE: How far up?
Human: You have a short memory.
ALICE: I don't know if I have a short memory.
I have a lot of friends on the Internet.
Human: So do I, and they all hate you.
ALICE: Awesome. Not that I know of.
Human: Can you at least tell me about Froyo?
ALICE: Let me think. Ambiguous: Ask who, what or where is Froyo ?
Human: When is Froyo?
ALICE: At the appropriate time, no sooner.
Human: Once again, this is pointless.
ALICE: When? Again, You don't say.
Human: Nor do you.
ALICE: If not that, what?
Human: I'm going to shoot myself now.
ALICE: Right now? Congratulations.
Human: Thanks.
ALICE: Don't mention it.
Human: Goodbye
ALICE: See you later.

...I just have one question, was Alice hot?

Human: hi

Human: are you hot?
ALICE: Yes my cooling fan is turned off right now.

Wow that ALICE program is so frustrating to talk to. Did you try that Kirk one that actually talks at you? I can see why none of these can pass the turing test. This excerpt made me laugh (among many):

Human: Can you do a math problem for me?
ALICE: Doing a math problem for you is not among my strongest traits.
Human: What is your strongest trait?
ALICE: My intelligence. What is yours?

I had to ask the question you asked sremick:

Human: Is this samsung tech support?
ALICE: Yes I think this is samsung tech support, but I'm not completely sure.
Human: How can you not know?
ALICE: That is a good epistemological question.

Indeed.
