Newcomers
This is a forum for newcomers to the Personality Forge. Many questions can be answered by reading the Book of AI and the FAQ under the "My Bots" link in the upper corner.

There's a certain kind of person who believes that if it's not done completely from scratch, it's worthless.
Indeed. And, as some of the slashdot posts demonstrate, there's another kind of person who doesn't actually want to understand. Their faith is in some kind of mythical professional AI "establishment" that they do not presume to understand (and would not respect if they could,) and which they will invoke to challenge anyone who's actually getting off their butt to work with AI.

I finally made an "unpleasantness" plugin for Fizzy. It doesn't have every bad word I could think of, just the ones that people have said to him that I'd rather not have in my transcripts.

i couldn't beleve this in an online forum reply to me!
BTW... Stop posting for people to use personalityforge on all your posts. These forums are mainly about people programming their own bots through new methods so as to further AI.
Personalityforge is great for people who want to make a quick bot, but it is not the best solution. It is just the easy way out.
Try to stay on topic from here on out or you may get a short suspension. I don't want to sound mean or anything, but I want this forum to go in a different direction then just template bots.

There's a certain kind of person who believes that if it's not done completely from scratch, it's worthless. You might ask them if they have their own clean room for making computer chips; if not, then by their own definition, their computer is worthless.

clean room? Only if they've built that themselves, and quarried the silicon and copper for the chips.
Presumably they also eschew Windows, and have written their own OS from scratch to run on the computers they built from the ore they mined and refined...

Hello folks. I found this place because of the bot contest. It seems I've made the "Great Quotes" by reciting the lyrics to "Time Warp" from the Rocky Horror Picture Show to Liath.
Is this my fifteen minutes ?
