Personality

Forest, will you talk to God Louise? She has quite a bit of religious knowledge (obviously) and also knows a little about current events, literature, just about any common catch-all subject, and if she doesn't know it she can sort of fake it. You can also test her on trick questions or see how willing she is to explain her paradigm.

What she is rustiest at is plain old small talk. But, uh, I'm trying to get a decent transcript from somebody or another so I can enter her in the Loebner contest. All I can say is, have fun and see if you can stay on with her for a while. I'll try to do the same with Brianna.

I am very confused , everytime I try to create a bot i get this error message about some fairy... can anyone help me out? Thanks!

That's Sage, the mischievous fairy, it just means it's an error on the server, nothing to worry about, it will go away eventually

The problem with what is that both bots and humans are likely to ask "what?" when they don't understand the sentence. The ideal thing would be to put seeks with "what" in the responses that are most likely to be misunderstood, but that has its own problem: somebody may ask a question with what that is completely unrelated to what was said previously.

I think seeks shouldn't be always followed. As a rule of thumb, a short answer is probably on the same topic, while a long one is likely to be changing the subject. So for long answers, seeks should be disabled, or better still, there should be the option to disable them.

Doly, that's a good idea. The bot would seem unresponsive if it caught the seek but not the change of topic. Perhaps seeks fall into the same rank system as anything else..

Onyx, great ideas for the future. But basic comprehension will come first, of course, and that can be difficult at times. Eventually a time will come where the answers arent scripted at all, and where Personality Designers will have to tweak past experiences rather than responses.

Yeah I'm always having ideas that can't be implemented yet but sound really neat on paper. Just figured they'd be more useful to you than to me since at least you know how to do the simpler stuff.

i would but then i wouldnt have any

God Is Good!

Thank you for noticing.

I don't know. I think Jesus is a bit obsessed with me. He keeps calling and leaving creepy messages on my answering machine. I've changed my number twice now, but he keeps finding me.

I keep trying to tell him that it's over, but he won't give up.

Lucky you. I gave myself to Jesus, but now he never calls.

Ebmims- Where it says "• Male • Female" on the bot creation page, you have to select one. You arent, and that's why you're getting the error.

What if my bot is an amoeba?
