humans team with AI

I recently heard about a game which is claimed to have been the first example of in which the player cooperates with some AI players.The name of the game is GIVE.

I couldn't investigate the game throughly because of its performance problems. But the idea seems to be good.

People are told to do various things by the computer which probably randomly genarates a task list and hands it over to the natural language generation component. Then this NLG component gives the user some directions, and I think at the end the NLP component is evaluated relative to the success of the players.

My criticism for this game is that the design could be accomplished so that the game is more fun and the evaluation is done implicitly.
