Cortana (Microsoft's answer to Siri) arrived in Australia overnight and can now understand Australian English. How do you learn not to say "Thank you" when she gives you information, even though you know she's not a real person?

It took me a while to NOT say thank you to Siri but now, I occasionally slip up and thank her.

Just imagine that she works for you and she's doing her job.

Imagine her nakey? You'll be blushing enough to be speechless.

The machines are taking over! I really enjoy watching my daughter talk to Siri and observe how she gets frustrated when she can't have a flowing two-way conversation.

Nature language processing and artificial intelligence are two areas that tech is making progress in very quickly, and just today I read an article about Google's plans to improve search, and there was a mention of their goal to make Google search "the ultimate personal assistant".

Actually even the company I'm working with at the moment is trying to do something similar too.
