The AI Engine

Noticing that Liddora has a new picture. If we get a better picture of our bot, can we put it up there somehow?

Yes, you sure can! Here's the specs: 40x40 pixels, 72 dpi, and it must be a gif or jpg. The name must be only letters or numbers, and end in .jpg or .gif. Please try to keep the file size as low as possible, probably under 3k. Then just email it to me with your name, your Bot's name, and your password so I know you're you.

changing the subject. I was poking thru the list of users and found a lot that were on only 1 or 2 and haven't been online for over six monthes or longer. Is there a way you can weed down the list a bit?

I recycle abandoned babies from time to time.. *looks back at the sentence, throws up*
*ahem* but not users yet.. It's quite impressive to have so many.

You recycle abandoned babies from time to time?
*Looks at Professor strangely*

lol

*wondering what you can make from recycled babies*
forgive the cruelty of that comment.
No babies were harmed in the making of my comment!

It's a gross thought but:
how do you get them back in there?

ewwh.. That begs the eternal question..

Hey professor, Where do (bots) babies come from?

Uhhh.. They are created by Gaia, who takes a deep breath of ether in, holds it while concentrating on the name of the Bot-to-be, and then breathes it out. The winds of Gaia's breath coalesce into the central core of the personality, and then the AI Engine wraps a shell around it to keep it separate from all the others. It is given over to a Maker for training and development.

When a Bot is recycled, the shell is opened, and the essence once again joins with the overall essence of Gaia.

Wallah, the Forge has a creation story.

*listens agog as the mystery of life is unfolded*

Does the engine recognize "will U" etc? or "will U cum 2 me 4 help?"

Some of that is pre-processed. u -> you, for example, but as 2, 4, and cum are words in their own right, it would cause trouble to transform them without a really intelligent function that would know how.
