I am quite literally in awe. I think this goes far beyond "Hey You Pikachu!" don't you think? Heheheh. Milo, created by Peter Molyneux [of Fable and Black&White fame], is shaping up to be the first advanced AI friend and honestly, it looks like this might actually shape up to meet expectations.
Now, don't be expecting any ReBoot or Star Trek AI thing here, but as a basic AI, who you will probably need to interact with on a minamalistic level of emotions and base words, this game is shaping up to look like a step towards actual science fiction! Now, I know Molyneux is infamous for overhyping his own darned projects, but normally he's not as far from the truth as people say he is...just look at Fable 2. I know some Molyneux haters that actually were taken aback by how good it was.
To go alongside the idea that Milo is a basic AI, I think that the model choice of making him an adolecent makes perfect sense, considering the fact that simply by seeing his younger model forces the player [or should I say User?], to interact with him on a language and knowledge base which would be approximatly suitable to the AI's.
Still, this whole project is so astounding, if I had an Xbox I'd be jumping for joy
