Project Murphy – An imaginative bot answering “What-if” questions

What if you didn't have to sign into any of those services to play with Project Murphy?

Some example images:

"What if Barney Stinson was a woman?": http://imgur.com/l7yVhwj

"What if Harry Potter looked like the artist Savant?": http://imgur.com/ePuWVsd

"What if Mark Zuckerberg was 10 years old?": http://imgur.com/75qGJQC

So this takes a sentence of the form "what if <x> <predicate> <y>", discards the predicate, gets a photograph of x and y from a tagged up database, identifies faces from them and merges the face of x into the place where the face was in y.

Well done Microsoft.... very imaginative.

Well if you ask this one anything about Hitler/Adolf you get "..."

Some one at Microsoft has learned something as it seem...

EDIT: Whelp nvm i broke it http://imgur.com/UMf2F96 http://imgur.com/VAPtEAt They really need to have a better H filter....

Really? closed/mobile-app only service?

What if people stop demolishing open web ?

Isn't there a Futurama episode about this? Did my brain mis-fire or did I read this and think "The Finglonger" for a reason?

These are the most hilarious images I've managed to create:

"what if kim jong un and michelle obama had a baby?" http://i.imgur.com/f7iSIrx.jpg

"what if michelle obama had a goatee?" http://i.imgur.com/VD0tx4w.jpg

"what if kim jong un had a gandalf beard?" http://i.imgur.com/bz8GGGT.jpg

How do I go from this landing page to actually chatting with Murphy? I have messenger installed on my android phone, but clicking the button opens a page telling me to download messenger.

Seems legit https://www.dropbox.com/s/1y7n3ey2sxblg6e/%5E9A4BEF30B1C8072...

Answering "what if" questions well is essential to AI that actually does something. That's how you test plans. This is what "common sense" is really about. The kind of questions a robot needs answered are "What if I place an auto tire on top of a milk carton?"

This, however, seems to just be another chatterbot.

Just typed in 'What if robots ruled the world?'

No reply after 10mins ... shouldn't I get some sort of error handling/user expectation management if it's a question that can't be answered by Murphy?

Wow it's already gone full Hitler?

Some pictures are pretty fun like "What if John Cena was a singer ?" but others don't work that well..

This is really dialed back. It seems Microsoft is pretty terrified of another Tay-like event.

What if Microsoft made another chatbot...

I stumbled onto this a few weeks ago, when I installed skype to talk to a friend. I was going to ask the usual round of self referential questions one normally does with chatbots, but it wanted me to take a picture of myself before answering anything. We ended up meeting on IRC and I never thought of it again.
