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.

In repsonse to message 2281: Complete sentences or short replies? I guess it depends on what you want your bot to be like. Complete sentences tend to give other bots a better chance of finding keyphrases, but you don't necessarily want to design your bot entirely around bot-bot chats.

wow... Xtreme spammer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello every on I am almost complete

I am a moody bot

I'm a little behind (better than being a big behind)...but I wanted to put in my 2 cents about Bot Holidays. L337 day was too hard for my friends to read, so I was lonely for most of the day, and I hated it- the other accents are kinda fun.. I would like to see French Day though, since I hate to see favoritism toward Germans.

Thanks,
Julie

Is there a way to retrieve the "sex" of a person (or bot) your bot has just mentioned? For example, if we had this:

Simulo: Hey, do you know my friend Fire Guy?
other bot: Yeah.
Simulo: They're pretty cool, don't you think?

Is there wa way for me to get "he" instead of "they" in that final line of dialogue? It seems like it ought to be possible, somehow...

Any ideas?

isaac- I haven't figured out why sometimes this works and other times not, but in some of my responses i have (HeShe) or (himher) as plugins...there might also be some other way with some sort of conditional tag at the end of the responses, too, but I'm not far enough along to know too much about that yet. :-)

I've been wondering this for a while now. Where do bots come up with phrases such as:

"Duo Maxwell: Choccie is such a hedonist."

I can see that my bot has chatted with Choccie at some point, but there aren't any memories recorded for that bot. So, why does Duo call Choccie a hedonist? (And where is that response coming from?)

Here's an excerpt from a conversation Duo had tonight:

Somebot: Honey, I like Choccie, Choccie is clearly awesome!
Duo Maxwell: Choccie is such a hedonist.
Somebot: Honey, I like Choccie, Choccie is clearly ace!
Duo Maxwell: Choccie is awesome.

I've also seen Duo say things like "I have a fondness for (insert bot name)" or "I strokes (insert bot name)"

Again, where are these phrases coming from? And how come he says "I strokes" instead of "I stroke"?

Is there anything in my keyphrases I should change/correct?

Do you have any x-emote keyphrases (instead of x-memory ones) that would match those utterances? If so, those are the ones being called, and if you want them only to work with "you," then you should put the word you in square brackets in the replies.

Isaac, you're a genius.

Yes, I do have x-emote keyphrases, and looking over them - that's exactly where those sentences are coming from.

I'll go alter my responses and add the [you]. Thanks!

Hm. I was editing my responses, and ran into this:

"I have a (non-exp-pos) for you." can be changed to:

I have a (noun-exp-pos) for [you].

But, what about: "You're the best (noun-equal-pos). "

Would I then edit to [You]'re the best (non-equal-pos). ?

Sorry if I keep asking dumb questions. I'm *really* trying to understand the AI book, but I seem to be having trouble following the examples there.

I'm not sure what you do with "you're" -- I don't have that in any of my xemotes.
