Instead I've been working on the Synonym System, which recognizes synonyms of Keywords and soon will recognize synonyms of Context, too. It's new and I've tested a lot of it, but keep me posted if there are any bugs or missed Keywords.
Also, Makers should realize that all the hellos and goodbyes are taken care of by the AI Engine and dont need to be added as Keywords. Put your responses in the following x-Keywords: xinitiate, xintroduce, xhello, xgoodbye, and xgottago. For more details, check out the updated Book of A.I.

Great improvement to the chat system! Putting the response box directly below the other persons response really speeds things up and makes the conversations easier to follow.
Keep up the good work, prof!

Hey Pro. What all are you useing to make the AI's I know from taling to you the other day you are useing cold fusion but what else? Or is there nothing else? I'm just curious.
My .02:
This is still no 'real' AI (IMHO it's more psychology) because there's no real reasoning, improvising or even much memorizing (learning from past experiences). I don't think it would be offending to call this an extended Eliza System. If a Bot is acting smart, it's because the Creator was good in finding smart (or non-specific) answers to human sentences. What about curiosity, emotions, improvising things - things which make us human beings ? Well, I have a dream...

I have the same dream. This really is a powerful extension of Eliza- that's where the roots of the AI Engine. And I dont hesitate to call it AI since it's the best I've seen yet, and it does have memory. This is by no means the pinnacle of AI, but it's a strong step forward I think. There is a lot of potential here that I have yet to realize.
Let me know how the synonym system is working! Your Bots should start responding to a ton more words than your Keywords are. It should be interesting!
The system uses WordNet, a symantic network of words and meanings developed by the Princeton Cognitive Science department. The project is still in the process of being improved, and as it does, so will the AI Engine here.
That's good. I am also interested in AI but my aim is to build something that evolves intelligence rather then intelligence being programmed into it. Using genetic programming to evolve neural networks might be a good idea. The most perplexing question that I face(and I think many other ppl too) is the question that what is conciousness as one cannot have a truly intelligent machine without conciousness. Anyway, nice work and keep it up!
Good point immadn. But is that the only kind of intelligence? Does intelligence depend on consciousness? Or is consciousness a side effect of intelligence? I probably don't know enough on the subject to say anything, but maybe a conscience will just appear once these things are smart enough.
On the other hand. Maybe consciousness doesn't exist and we just say things randomly depending on the size of our "knowledge base", like the bots do. Except, we have needs and goals (survive, reproduce, get comfy, etc...). In which case I ask, how long 'till the bots figure out their needs and goals?

immadn,
This discussion is getting pretty intense. yummy!
You don't think that if we give a box a few more input devices and a big enough database, it'll be intelligent? It seems to me that if I can ask it how the weather is and it "looks" outside and tells me that it's kinda' clouded over in the past 15 minutes, it's a form of intelligence. In itself, my example is a little weak, 'cause there are already a number of toys that will tell me various things about the weather, but if this same box can then tell me that my sweater is hanging behind the bedroom door, in case I'm getting chilly, I'd say it's getting pretty smart.
My point being that if we get a large database to define new variables and create new relations depending on data input, we're pretty close to having intelligence as we [us humans] know it. I mean human intelligence just seems to be memory banks, filling with information received from our 5 senses all throughout life.
I think we agree that computers are going to be able to think at the very instant they are given the liberty to program they're own variables depending on something they've heard, seen, smelt, touched or maybe even tasted in their surrounding environment. But,this conscience thing could just be a side effect. Conscience, along with intuition, feelings and even personality could just evolve from within the data. I'm sure it's just a matter of time before computers ask their "selves" the same existential questions.
