Also the conversation is almost strictly on predefined topics, suggested by the future self. But apart from these bugs, it is a remarkable website. Responses range from humorous to thought-provoking. I learnt that my future self\u00a0is British and\u00a0works as a robot wrestler referee. I also learnt that money is no longer used, rather a people exhcange items which they continue to have real value.<\/p>\n<p>Not having an\u00a0American or Brittish accent is a bit of a handicap. As what frequently occurs with these technologies, they are not created to understand other accents, let along one from a small country at the bottom of the world!<\/p>\n<p>While this technology is impressive, and the 3D modeling can be scarily realistic, one has to wonder what the purpose of it is. Surely implementing this wasn&#8217;t cheap.
