Chorus- The Artificially Intelligent Personal Assistant Powered By People!

Great minds are trying to better the performance of artificially intelligent personal assistants by developing a manner by which power of the human crowd could be harnessed to chat you up. Chorus, as the system is known, was created at the University of Rochester, and allows many users to represent as a single agent that'll communicate with just one user in real time.

Chorus was prepared to try and cope with issues like limited knowledge base of a single human user, and its strained interaction ability. The great user-count means that everyone can suggest solutions, and a voting system for the crowd to proceed with the best possible answer. With this software, the crowd successfully answered questions posed by users 84.6 of the time, stated a study. Users can join/leave conversations as they please.
What remains to be seen is that with all these curated histories, proposed responses, and people voting, will the answer appear even a little bit  natural as human chat?
