I have been really curious about the possibility of simulate the human's communication hability using computer language/softwares. Most specifically, i have been thinking that the most difficult part of the simulation would be to "cofide" the level of randomness+logic that the human brain can have.

Do you know what is the most advanced software at currently days that tries to simulate human's behaviour?
Look that i am searching for a machine that has the hability to formulate phrases/comunicate as complex as human can, that is, i am not talking about softwares whose output phrases would be already written, and the possibility to it be used depending on the input of the interlocutor. (Like Siri or Alexa).

Is there any project at current days that study this possibility?

I can understand that the human brain is extremelly complex to be codifed exactly, but anyway.

Hi @LCSphysicist , very interesting, but a quiqk glance and I've found nothing. My personal opinion is to avoid the Internet, and ask directly this Forum, and also it would be fantastic if you had the opportunity to talk about it with an expert, specialized, AI researcher. Or journalist with background.
Regards!
 
IBM in co-operation with DARPA and other organizations (e.g. IEEE, LLNL) has done significant work in areas related to this.

You might be interested in GPT-3 which has been a state of the art AI model with capabilities over a broad range of tasks for a while now. You simply prompt it with text and it generates a response. It isn't especially geared towards simulating human conversations but it has produced some of the best output which I have seen in this domain so far.

Here is a twitter thread about some of its capabilities:


I'm not sure how accessible GPT-3 is for personal use. You can apply for access to an API here:
