Maybe those who believe it's not scripted are not aware that speech synthesis (nevermind speech recognition or AI) is not sufficiently advanced to generate the correct, flowing speech that the demo had.

Asking for proof that it was scripted is like asking for proof that Santa Claus doesn't exist. It isn't really possible to prove it, but common sense and a little knowledge (if you have it) will help you see it.

 

Not necessarily. You don't need full speech synethsis to do what they have shown - it just needs to pick up certain key words, and be able to say certain key phrases. The entire demo coulda been done simply with a big bank of ready recorded phrases

 

Also, I have proof santa doesn't exist - I stayed up all night and saw my dad stealing the beer and mince pie we left out for santa, yet he still got presents - So Santa either doesnt exist, or at least isn't omniscient

Of course it could be done with a big bank of recorded phrases. That is exactly how one would go about creating a scripted demo (whether there are a few possible alternatives or an entirely on-rails experience).
