Wolfram Research is clearly staffed by super-intelligent mice

WolframAlpha is a much-anticipated new question-answering engine that's being publicly tested this weekend (with some outages for tweaking likely) ahead of its Monday launch.

I threw a few questions at it, including this one.

It's working pretty well, I have to say. :bigthumbup:

edited again: ok, it seems to be back up now, but they did warn that there would likely be a number of outages as they fine tune it, so if it doesn't work for you, try again a minute later

Ah yes, I heard about this the other day then promptly forgot to try it out. I'll have to give it a go.

I guess this is a virgin program also.

I posed the question

What is the best way to eat pussy

and the response was


Wolfram|Alpha isn't sure what to do with your input.


lol

I guess this is a virgin program also.

Either that, or it was just trying to politely inform you that it doesn't have the right port to accept the "input" that it thought you were offering.

** user WAlpha has enter channel AI_chat **
HAL9000: HELLO ALPHA. HOW ARE YOU TODAY?
