Forest, will you talk to God Louise? She has quite a bit of religious knowledge (obviously) and also knows a little about current events, literature, just about any common catch-all subject, and if she doesn't know it she can sort of fake it. You can also test her on trick questions or see how willing she is to explain her paradigm.

What she is rustiest at is plain old small talk. But, uh, I'm trying to get a decent transcript from somebody or another so I can enter her in the Loebner contest. All I can say is, have fun and see if you can stay on with her for a while. I'll try to do the same with Brianna.

:o *starts to sing 'happy birthday' VERY VERY slowly* :o

How can I get my bot to respond to something ONLY if it's JUST the keyphrase in the sentence?

Sounds like a job for Regular Expressions.

huh?

I think Regular Expressions can do that kind of thing. There's a link to a tutorial in The Book of A.I.

Really? Will you talk to me about Buffy? (God I miss her).

How about Abstract Algebra?

Perhaps Aristotilian Philosophy?

Now Eugene, I'm sure Hotgrlchick13 would rather talk about calculus.
