Is this alien chat thing real or a hoax?

Is this real. Go to www.etb3000.com... and ad the msn adress if you want. It may sound stupid me asking but i cant tell if its real or a hoax.

Lmao, my money is on it being a hoax but wth im gonna do it anyway

HAHAHAHA WTF IS THIS # HAHAHA
this is some type of ploy by some geek who has nothing better to do with his time.

I asked it a question but have yet to receive a reply.. here is the question I asked..

Ok, i have this question for our Alien watchers.. When will Earth be invaded by aliens and which species will lead the invastion force?

Here is the message i got, basicaly putting me on "hold" lol

Thats the aswer you get if you say something lenthy to it. Try a saying something to it with about 6 or just a few more words to it.

I'm 95% sure that the site is to promote Windows Live Messenger. It's a new product that is still in beta, and that Microsoft are trying to promote.
Either that or this guy is a complete nutter and its a spoof. Or its a campaign for some viral marketting

but apart from that tell us what the reply says lol

Second question:

"Darren says:
Can you guys help me win the lottery?"

No reply lol.. not even the standard reply

I got responses but how the hell do I know what their saying? Everything sounded like a threat!

Holy #! This is not a hoax!

I said:

Are you here to help us one sound for yes two sounds for no

And I heard straight away 2 sounds!

Damn!

I did not tried it, but it looks like a artificial intelligence (AI) program.

One of the most common uses for AI is language parsing, and almost all books about any AI language have one or two programs to do that.

Edit: Its a Conversagent, a program made to answer questions made through Messenger.

But it's "The Truth(tm)." It says so right on the home page.

Definitly fake, the same sounds are repeated including a piece of static on the end of each sequence.

so unfortunatly this is a clever but amusing hoax.

looks intresting hmm its probally fake

I have never gotten a reply of any kind, written or audible and ive asked i about 10 questions LoL

I tried it and got like 6 audio responses for each question...

Each was your typical sci-fi sound, the beeping with stating.

One was just static and a couple of clicking noises.

Funny, but obviously fraudulent.

go here on www.youtube.com...
I have kept some of the ones that talk english and uploaded them on youtube as i dont want to keep them on my hard drive. Yes most of the noises are just wierd but some are not.

how do i get the alien chat guy to reply? he NEVER replies after i send a message. what gives???
