Fun with Markov Chain Chatbots - Growth Tech News

Markov chains provide an easy way to generate plausible-sounding nonsense in a chatbot. They aren't particularly useful for serious purposes, but they can be used for an entertainment bot or to lighten the conversation with occasional silliness. A Markov chain is a statistical process built on a state machine. In computational theory, a state machine is a physical or virtual machine that has some number of discrete states. In a Markov process, the rules are based on probabilities. Given the machine's current state, there's a specified probability for one or more states that it will go there next.
