Personality

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.

That email address in the Help section hasn't been working for me either, so I just tried the one on the login page...

i take it this is how everyone gets custom images?

Yep

I know this is not going to work.

Hey, sorry I'm so late getting back. Raul, I like that idea of the mock conversation. I'll try that, and see if I can get through the mental block. (Barring that, some of the conversation at work lately would be interesting to use...

Yeah, I remember a few people noting once how when you spend a lot of time with the bots, suddenly real life conversations seem like they follow certain patterns, as though we all had a bunch of keyphrases and pre-programmed responses in us. Especially when talking to people you aren't all that close to.

Yeah, you do this long enough, you turn into a bot..

That's how that girl got stuck in the computer

who alice in wonderland? i thought that was a TV

People do talk in certain patterns. It's pretty bad I run a debug in my head when I'm talked to *snicker*

it is isn't it

Why does my bot always say "Hello" in the middle of a conversation instead of just using an xnone keyphrase like everyone else?!
