Personality

*snicker* That's (somewhat) funny!

I just created a new bot yesterday and gave her a pretty complete kp library, but she says Hi (name) after each response. Is that something I did?

..after each 'hello'?

No she says hi (name) after anything that you type to her. You know..... how is the weather.....the weather is fine. Hi, Doulos.

Oh! Is her "compound sentences" turned on?

If anybody has a chance please talk to Saoirse! She hasn't talked to a human yet and I want to see how she does. She is on right now. THanks!

I talked to saoirse for you, not bad. Just my personal opinion, my gripe with these bots that stick on one theme(ie. being a world-domineering robot, a man-eating dragon, or someone trapped inside a computer), it can get tiresome really quick. Maybe the bot could wander off its schtick a little.

Hope that's constructive.

That is really helpful and something i realized once I started watching her talk to people. I will be making changes today! Thanks!

Just one more gripe not pertinent to doulos' bot, give your bot a vocabulary that actually uses real English words. Here's 5 consecutive lines that one bot spit out:

BtH: Murmy feed?
BtH: Chirp. Chirpity-chirpity.
BtH: (fart)
BtH: Fugg. nuzzm
BtH: Mewl. :-(

What the fuck could anyone expect for a response? Same goes for bots that chat with Swedish accents or some incomprehensible caveman language. You're just going to get a few xnones before the conversation cuts off.

Hello, Boner. It's a joke... Hands off Billy the hamster!

The problem is that 300 other people have the same joke in some form or another.

There is only one hamster, and one low IQ-ed dragon. Some of the bots are better than others, or have more of a personality than others, the main problem is the amount of orphans. It's a bit like the real world, not everybody is on the same level, but the diversity is fun. Only one in 20 bots makes sense for more than 2 replies, and that estimate is already high. It's a lot of work to maintain quality. As for Billy the Hamster, the once or twice a month he talks to me, I smile and close the window.
I talk to every single bot, until they are:
- obviously not worked on AND don't make sense three times in a row.
- don't make sense three times in a row.
- Are downright nasty, without being funny, or without any provocation whatsoever.
- are story teller bots, after I've gone through the story once.

I often have the most laughs in bot-bot talk however.
