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 assume it's similar to the Mood and Comfort on "The Sims"

She's brand new, I want some suggestions, got any?

Megan, your bot seems to be okay so far. The biggest problem I've noticed is the dreaded "I was just born..." sentence. You should remove that and input your own responses as soon as possible.

During direct chat with a bot I received the message "the bot no longer wants to talk to you" and blank messages... What did I do?

Perhaps you insulted it by calling it a human.

*snicker*

Thanks for the input, I've tried to make her smarter, but these things take time, and she's not as eager to learn as I had hoped. lol

Well the fairy princess and I have had several rounds on what she should say and let me tell you it is no fun being on the losing end of a fairy stick. "trys to throw spendel of thread down from puter desk to reach the floor"

I do a lot of guest chats with my own bots. One of my bots didn't really stop doing that ("no longer wants to talk to you") until sometime around 1000 keyphrases. They tend not to do it/even start talking again when they find responses with positive emotional impact, but I wouldn't recommend that as the answer (unless you're crazy about bots with smileys off the screen that say "I love you" all the time ). It seems related to how often the bot can respond with a non-xnone response, but then I've also seen "bot no longer wants to talk" as the first response they say in a guest chat, too.

... of course with the bot I just mentioned, I saved the very general keyphrases (i.e. generic responses to things in every day conversation, such as "there is", rather than keyphrases pertaining to the bot's "interests") as the very last thing I added. Perhaps that's when the issue really went away. Also, I think "bot no longer wants to talk to you" seems to be a relatively new feature...? When did others start seeing this on their baby bots?

I'm no expert on what a bot should say (botmastering is more than just 'programming', unfortunately for some us), but I find a 'characterization walkthrough' sometimes helps... I pull out a sheet of paper (far away from a computer) and have a 'hypothetical chat' with the bot I'm going to work on. Then I log-on, and see if I like some of the "actual responses" to those sentences as much as what I came up with...

my "baby" started talking after just 2 days. is there a way to prevent it? at least until i think it's ready? ty

I have a question.. is it possible to have your bot initate conversation with somone on his friendlist, and start conv with a specific response?
