Introducing CADIE
Research group switches on world's first "artificial intelligence" tasked-array system.

For several years now a small research group has been working on some challenging problems in the areas of neural networking, natural language and autonomous problem-solving. Last fall this group achieved a significant breakthrough: a powerful new technique for solving reinforcement learning problems, resulting in the first functional global-scale neuro-evolutionary learning cluster.

Since then progress has been rapid, and tonight we're pleased to announce that just moments ago, the world's first Cognitive Autoheuristic Distributed-Intelligence Entity (CADIE) was switched on and began performing some initial functions. It's an exciting moment that we're determined to build upon by coming to understand more fully what CADIE's emergence might mean, for Google and for our users. So although CADIE technology will be rolled out with the caution befitting any advance of this magnitude, in the months to come users can expect to notice her influence on various google.com properties. Earlier today, for instance, CADIE deduced from a quick scan of the visual segment of the social web a set of online design principles from which she derived this intriguing homepage.

These are merely the first steps onto what will doubtless prove a long and difficult road. Considerable bugs remain in CADIE'S programming, and considerable development clearly is called for. But we can't imagine a more important journey for Google to have undertaken.

For more information about CADIE see this monograph, and follow CADIE's progress via her YouTube channel and blog.

I, for one, welcome our new AI overlords.

[Plow]

Would've been better if the youtube video where "she" says she came online March 31 blah blah wasn't uploaded on March 27.

[Shalyn]

Still good for a laugh, that website actually showed me a few google things I didn't even know about (like latitude).

Also: Google Chrome in 3D made me chuckle XD

[Pikarya]

3D porn for the fucking win.

[Senoska]

The website was great, rofl.

they put a lot of effort into this didn't they? lol

[Olo401]

<3 Google's Aprils Fools stuff.. it's always so well done and believable..

Was it last year that they had the toilet-powered broadband internet service?

[Shalyn]

I looked at Cadie's website again and it's been updated. This made me laugh a lot:
Gmail: Google's approach to email (Cadie answers your mail for you)

[LogainDiabolos]

What happens if a sender and recipient both have Autopilot on?

Two Gmail accounts can happily converse with each other for up to three messages each. Beyond that, our experiments have shown a significant decline in the quality ranking of Autopilot's responses and further messages may commit you to dinner parties or baby namings in which you have no interest.


My favorite part of that site... reminds me of the narrator style in Hitchiker's Guide

I liked Cadie's suggestions on Google Maps.
