Thanks!
Most sites seemed normal enough but this one seemed like a cult. What do you think?
Interview with James Hughes the Executive Director of that site
I also found this cool chat bot that you can try. Oliverbot . It was pretty good at sarcasm, but not as good as me, though. It was like talking to Bukh...
Does anyone else know of a better one?

Do our brains work like Google?
Google's patented and powerful search algorithm, PageRank, may mimic the way the human brain retrieves information.
Our memory for words can be modelled as a network in which each point represents a different word, with each linked to words that relate to it. Psychologist Tom Griffiths and colleagues at the University of California, Berkeley, wondered whether the ease with which the brain retrieves words is similar to the way that websites are ranked by PageRank: by the number of sites that link to them.
It seems it might. In tests against other word-retrieval algorithms, PageRank most clearly matched the human model (Psychological Science, vol 18, p 1069). The results suggest human memory studies could be improved by examining the tricks that search engines employ, and vice versa, says Griffiths.

Sergey Brin wants Google to become the "third half of your brain."
That's what he said at today's big search event, where Google released Google Instant, its fast, streaming search results.
We're not exactly certain what Brin meant, but we think he was trying to say Google will know what you want in a search, perhaps even before you know.

computers know 'how' to do things but dont know 'what' they are doing

cerebellum-output-'how'
forebrain-CEO-'what'
midbrain-input-'why'
each of the 3 above is likewise divided into 3 parts.
each of those 3 parts is likewize divided into 3 parts.
consciousness=awareness of awareness
awareness=knowing 'what' you are doing

There are a great number of people who also do not know "what" they are doing...
Thank you for the information. I’m not quite sure if I agree with your assessment on consciousness. I’ll have to do so more reading. I did find some more interesting articles, though.
Thanks again!

This is a little simple-minded to be called AI, but it's a neat little game.
