not keyphrases, responses....

ok. I'm new here and I'm having trouble with bot making,
I've read the ai book and still no real advance, is there a really big example on language, something like 1000 entries to look at or some one willing to help create a bot. Please help.

watch television, read dialogues, books... how does a conversation work, where does someone react to? If you have 1000 of the same sentences, what makes your bot different from others? Read it carefully, and start with the keyphrases each bot should have... and think what kind of character your bot will have... is he scared, a small child, a superheroe, just you?... play with language basically...

Read transcripts. When you see your bot react badly to input, try to come up with a general keyphrase that would have covered the specific instance.

Yes, you can determine whether a person is a bot by asking them what they like. Figure out what all the favorites are for all the bots, and then ask someone what all their favorites are in those areas. It won't be absolutely certain. But, you really can't be certain that anything isn't a human, unless you created the bot you are talking to.

Even if they say "I was just born and can't speak well yet." Because anyone can type that!

the like is randomly selected, and could still be human...

The first time I talked to The Professor, he thought I was a bot.

The first time I talked to the Professor, I swear he was acting like a bot

Actually, he made quite a profound statement that has stuck with me...

Me: Are you a bot?
The Professor: Does it matter anymore?

Hey... I have a question. I haven't added any responses for "hello" or "hi" because there's supposed to be something automatic for it, right? Well, I've tested my bot once and it worked. But now whenever I do debug, my bot doesn't seem to recognize the "hello" and goes to xnone. What do I do?

Oh wait. I just sort of realized that no one's here. Haha. Okay. Let me go post the question elsewhere.

a bot is only supposed to respond to hi or hello at the beginning of a conversation (so bots can't get stuck in endless loops of 'hellos'). I think a "conversation" is considered to have ended after 20 minutes of non-communication.

Me: Are you busy?
Professor: Sort of. Are you a person?
Me: Why? Are you prejudiced against bots?

He decided that I was a bot at this point.
