Putting 'smart' search engines to the test.

I found the website "True Knowledge" which is supposed to be a smart A.I. that can answer questions you ask it, even if it has never had the question asked before. If it doesn't know the answer it expect you to help it out though.

Well here are my question and its responses:

It's kind of cool I guess, but it still needs a lot of user input and human help before it can start operating smoothly on its own.

It seems it's basically a search engine, very similar to ask jeeves in the fact that it has limited ability to interpret a question. From what I briefly saw it looks like wikipedia since users can apparently edit the database. I don't see this as an AI anymore than a search engine. I'm unimpressed. Next!

Yea I was unimpressed too, but atleast with human help is has the ability to grow into something useful. So whats next? Anyone know of any other A.I. we can put to the test. There is that one coming how in a couple weeks... Wolfram Alpha

We're making early access available to a few select individuals.

I signed up to try and get early access, I doubt I will get it, but it is worth a try.
