This ultra-smart chat bot will remember everything you tell it, but should you trust it?:
If you tell Wonder, “Remember my locker combination is 3752,” you don’t have to ask specifically, “What is my locker combination?” for Wonder to respond. You can ask questions the way you’d ask another person. “What’s my locker combo?” or even “locker combo?” can yield the answer.
“It’s something that feels so simple and intuitive,” Singer told the Daily Dot. “A notes app just doesn’t cut it because one, the notes get lost in your list; and two, the search functionality just isn’t there.”
The thing is, in order for Wonder to recount information for you, you have to disclose it first. That’s a fair amount of trust to be placed into a bot—as well as the people who created it.

n 1950, computer science pioneer Alan Turing proposed a famous test of computer intelligence: could a program (what we might now call a “chatbot”) answer your questions so convincingly that you couldn’t tell it apart from a human?
In honor of Turing’s birthday on June 23 (Happy Birthday, Alan!), I decided to try something a little bit different: I would try to convince some humans that I was a chatbot.
