This robot Steve Jobs is so random

March 29th, 2010

Everyone knows Steve Jobs’ email is sjobs@apple.com. Everyone is trying to ask him questions, complaining Apple products or saying hello. We need to forgive Steve if he cannot reply. We can try to ask this robot Steve: Ask El Jobso.

I thought this Ask El Jobso would be an AI or something. It’s not, unfortunately. The answers are randomly generated. You can try to ask one question, and press “Send It” several times. You will figure it out.

I am not sure how the music is generated by Codeorgan. I thought it’s randomly generated but it sounds promising. Codeorgan said after you have entered the site address in the field, it will analyze the body of the content. It will then removes all the characters not found in the musical scale and process further to generate the music. Nevermind. As long as it sounds good, I don’t care.
