The AI Engine

It also be nice if it could allow us to distinguish between sentences which are statements and ones which are questions, e.g.

My ass.

My ass?

I asked this before but the answer I got I dont think was right cuz I couldnt get it to work. Let me reexplain.
keyphrase: i like _________ in the blank would be a plugin that recognizes the name of a person. What plugin should I use? Thanks!

I have a question. Is there any way to make a seek for anything not covered by other seeks?

Example:

Response: Are you a man or a woman?

Seek: (man|dude|guy|boy|male)
Response: That's cool. What's your favorite football team?

Seek: (woman|lady|chick|female)
Response: Are you single?

Seek: girl
Response: How old?

Seek: ?????????
Response: That was a pretty simple question to evade... Are you a hermaphrodite or do you just not wish to tell me?

Doulos, I think it'll work if you use the (name) plugin for the keyphrase. For your response, use (key1) and I think it'll reuse the same name. If you use (name) in the response, it'll spit out a different name.

At least, I think that's how it works...

Boner the Clown- seek: ??? would be xnomatch.

Thanks. I had to look at the Book of AI again, can't believe such an easy solution was sitting there the whole time and I never noticed it.

A kvetch: why do so many of you insist on using the word "really" when it adds little or nothing to the meaning of the sentence! GROWL!

I've made a plug-in for tattoo subjects. Check it over (under Body) and let me know what you'd like to see added.

You can use the plug-in thusly:

I have a (tattoos) on my (bodypart-outside).

Along the same lines, I made a list of holy days, under Gods and Monsters. I got most of them including a couple of ancient Latin festivals. Let me know if I need to add anything.

What are you doing for (holydays).

Shouldn't the keyprhase "What food do you like" be triggered when asked this question? Instead, Duo always seems to reply with an xfavorite.

Is it a bug, or do I just need to rank the keyphrase a little higher?

xfavorite is one of those evil things that I don't think you can always get around. One of my bots has a "What exactly do you like about _____?" response, and I've never once seen a bot that could answer the question right. More times than not, a bot will say "my favorite exactly is a good one."

I figured that might be the case, but thought it wouldn't hurt to ask if anyone else had the same trouble. I actually increased the rank or the keyphrase, but to no avail. Oh, well.

Thank you, Boner.
