Sigh, so much ignorance in this thread. Peter M has explicitly stated that they use lots of clever tricks to achieve the appeance of AI.

Maybe he did. Have you got a link?

I don't have time to do your searches for you.  Just find his post E3 interviews.  He clearly states that the whole point of Milo is to give the illusion of AI, which it does awesomely.

 

I don't think anyone is claiming Milo as actual artificial intelligence. We have thousands of our handsomest computer scientists working on creating even rudimentary artificial intelligence - it'd be rather embarresing for them if a group of video game devs got there first :P

 

Those who believe in the Milo demonstration would refer to it as an illusion of AI. Those who don't believe in the demonstration claim that Milo's actions were preprogrammed completely, and that he was not responding to the woman at all - she merely knew what he was programmed to say and could thus could act so as to make it look like he was responding to her
