what exactly does the bots being self aware mean right now? how does it affect what they say?

lol they are not self aware.

The effect is that they know what they are saying, and can use that to understand the flow of conversation, specifically, what pronouns are referring to and reconstructing sentence fragments into complete thoughts

kt was always self aware, not intentionally but it was sure spooky in most day to day trans. well at least she is aware when a guy does not take " i have a boyfriend" as an answer. heheheheee

Preprocessing: "hmm" turns into "yes", and "seen any" becomes "have you seen any"? Certainly impressive, but difficult to anticipate that when you make key phrases!

hahaha

IMPORT ARRIVES
===================
Just a few introductory notes- as you discover good text editors for this purpose, let me know and I'll add them to the list. I use BBEdit, which is fantastic for this with powerful search and replace functions, soft-wrap, and a lot more.

I've tested the system pretty thoroughly but I'm sure somebody will try something I havent thought of, so let me know how it goes.

Also, try not to use Import excessively. Work for a few days and then Import, as it takes up a bit of CPU when running.

I just exported and imported Zim. No problems.

A good idea is if you have a new bot and an advanced bot, is that you can copy over the Keyphrases of the advanced bot to the new bot, and then write new Responses for the new bot.

Good work, prof!
Now we just have to see if Shady can work his magic with his VB import editor.

Shady's app is going to be great for those people who like working in the style of the online Language Center. But personally I'm going to enjoy using the flexibility of a simple text editor to cut and paste and move rapidly between different sections.

yes, you can still use wordpad in windows

Also, prof, I don't know if this is in the engine or not, but...

LOL = lol = hah = haha = heh = hehe = *giggle* = laf

Prof, bots not recognizing hi or hello, is possible looping the reason for that? Can bots after recognizing a greeting go to xintroduce or the other x instead of xnone?
If you say "HI" and the bot responds with "what do you mean"...
