This is part of my exchange. Everything I said, ACUMAN just said "I don't agree about x, but everyone's opinion differs" or some such. Again, great work!

> ACUMAN: Tell me what US state you live in.

> MILLOY: New Hampshire, but I'm moving to North Carolina soon!

> ACUMAN: You do not seem to be moving to North Carolina soon to me.

> MILLOY: You are very sceptical then.

> ACUMAN: I do not consider myself to be very sceptical, but to each his own. Though I respect your opinion.

> MILLOY: You don't believe what I tell you, so you are sceptical.

> ACUMAN: You may think that, but I think that I believe what you tell me.



That's a funny exchange! The particularly odd thing is the fact that he missed the Named-entity recognition in some of those answers- including by not identifying that you were referring to the fact that you were moving to a state. He somehow interpreted it as an opinion. Let me check what exactly went on that prevented his correct behavior.


It did recognize it, though. The full response to that statement was something more like "You do not seem to be moving to North Carolina to me. New Hampshire is an interesting state, there are a lot of things happening there. North Carolina is an interesting state, there are a lot of things happening there."

I also got: "I'm at work right now" > "You don't seem to me at work right now to me" which is also not exactly an opinion.


It's true, funny and not entirely "off-putting" :)
