Is there a vid of the conference? Did they demo Milo on stage? So far I've only seen the pre-produced demo video, and it looks 99% fake to me. Really, voice recognition, text interpretation, AI: these issues are so complex, there's just no way MS solved them all. Milo's voice wasn't synthesized either, it was prerecorded. You don't really expect a 200$ toy to do what universities around the world won't accomplish in another 10 years, do you? Milo will probably feature a large library of phrases he "understands" and "speaks", but he doesn't have a neural network that would enable him to understand stuff he isn't programmed to.
