CADIE – Google’s April Fools joke

This morning, when I arrived at Google’s home page, I noticed they supposedly had a new project released. So I clicked and checked it out.

Turned out to be Google’s supposed “AI” CADIE. Though I personally have several reasons as to why this is fake…

1) Look at the time-stamp on the page. Doesn’t “March 31st, 2009 11:59:59 pm” seem a little suspicious?

2) CADIE’s blog has very cheesy content on it

3) It just popped up today. Guess what day today is?

4) Google is known for pulling April Fools hoax’s. Remember TISP?

Probably a little too extreme this time to trick many users Google, but still amusing.
