The technology is no where near being close enough for that, its about .5% of where it would need to be. And this isn't a game last I read, its a tech demo. "Milo" was just following a script, so it might seem impressive, but if the actor wasn't there and it was a normal person, it probably wouldn't even work.
And a kid that wants friends that can't find any.....should get some! Its really not that hard to find other socially inept people.
Once you realize the truth, that the entire "conversation" was actually pre-scripted interplay you'll realize how unimpressive the demo actually is. The girl is an actress reading a script too.
The Milo character's actions/words/emotions are all scripted and the only interaction going on is that the computer is waiting for the actress to say keywords so that the Milo character can then proceed to the next pre-programmed acting sequence.
Bingo. People that have no idea how it works are impressed, but it really isn't anything special atm. Instead of pressing "A" after a sentence now you're saying "Yeah, lets going fishing".
