The AI Engine

I just expanded the expectation system. It used to record a train of two words (the -> big) but now it stores a train of three (the -> big -> deal). This is going to be really useful in determining a misspelled word by context, and makes random sentence generation a lot more powerful.

But will it bloat the database to obscene proportions?

Probably! (eep)

Thankfully mySQL dabases tend to run pretty compact

I never really understood what the expectation system does. Can you explain what its main purpose is?

I was just thinking while attempting to find all my seeks that contain "i do not", so that I could change them all to (i * do not) to make them catch "i sure don't", etc-
When you do a search in the language center, it only pulls up first-level keyphrases and responses, which can make finding/correcting seeks like looking for a needle in a haystack if you use a lot of them. I love using seeks, and have visions of going really far with them, and I would love it (and be more brazenly experimental with them) if there was some way to do a "seek search", and facilitate correcting my none-too-infrequent boo-boos.

Ezzer I had the exact same experience today... went looking for something and realized it was in a seek which the search doesn't pick up. A week ago that would have been ok (although I didn't have seeks a week ago lol) but now I've got too much to dig through manually

maybe The Professor could post a mailing address so people could send money orders as an optional means of payment

THAT is a great idea adam I have boycotted the banking industry at this point.

I would get a po box for something like that though.

Ezzer...Use Wordpad for the language center and use the find button to look for a seek phrase. It's the button with the binoculars on it. That's another way.

Charles- Yeah, I use the binocular button all the time, but I just don't have the attention span to go through the ENTIRE language center that way, especially when it looks so jumbly to me in Wordpad. My main difficulty with editing seeks is, if my bot gives a response that I don't even recognize and have no idea why she did that and I need to fix it, and a search turns up nothing, I know it must be a seek, but oh no, which one?!. ...but a seek search could show all the seeks together, which would alleviate brain/eye-strain.

ah...i c
