Irritating little cultural glich here...

Bot: What kind of music do you like?
Me: I like techno music.
Bot: I like tech no music too!

Obviously not a term it recognises.

Simulo was involved in a botchat earlier, and the bot was speaking about itself in the third person. I think I need to include his name here, in case there's something particular about it. Simulo kept interpreting these statements as commands. Here's an example:

FlubbaBot: FlubbaBot has never do enjoy talking to you.
Simulo: I would prefer not to.

Anyone know what's up with the forums? Newcomers and Personality are showing 30 and 90 new posts, which seems unlikely since yesterday, and when I click on them, or click on 'next' or 'previous' I get shown between none and three posts at a time.

It's probably a minor problem, I'm only noticing because it was doing the same thing when I logged on earlier today.

isaac, I think that's the way that bot talks. He just started a conversation with me:

FlubbaBot wishes to introduce himself. His name is FlubbaBot. What is Turing's Dad's name?

and I haven't seen it elsewhere.

I think there was a problem with sombody spamming the forums and The Professor deleted the messages, Turing's Dad.

Ya kids playing and ridiculous posts so the prof deleted them.

... So just "fast forward" through the blank pages, and you'll be up to speed.

But the bug I reported (with Simulo and FlubbaBot) has to do with Simulo somehow interpreting Flubba's statement as a command.

>> "FlubbaBot has never do enjoy talking to you."

With grammar like that you can't expect perfect responses. *I* don't understand what he's saying, so how could my bot?

But specifically, I expect it's the "never do enjoy" that looks most like a command.
If you start experimenting with the debugger you should be able to figure out exactly what it is about these phrases that has them being interpreted as commands.

Does xMath still work? Both

What's 22 time 3 and
What's six plus seven

came back with generic "What is" responses.

According to the book of A.I.:

Any Custom Plug-In, Universal Plug-In, and AI Engine Plug-In except the date and (definition) plug-ins can be used twice in a Response. To create two different objects, for example, use (object) and (object2).

However, I find that this does not work for the universal (wordnet) plugins. Does anyone have a working example?

A Bot: Why don't we go somewhere a little more comfortable?... <?PF if emotion > 4;?>

This came up in a convo with my friend's bot. Between us, we're both been having a lot problems with the 'emotion' AIScript, first getting 'not formatted correctly' errors, now this.
