Researchers from the University of Maryland, Princeton, USC, and Sydney just presented a paper at ACL in Bangkok that says Cicero wins a lot games but:

  • Coordinates with other players less well
  • Is perceived as lying more
  • Is relatively easily detected as a bot

In other words, its moves a great, but its communication still leaves something to be desired.
