Personality

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.

I have turn chat messages off. Please try again when I am less busy.

how can u teach your AI to speak well? please HELP!

Read the book of AI, 5teven... and post questions like that in the newcomers forum.

*hopes hes in the right place* When it comes to general keyphrases, (that can, there are, what is, etc...) what do you think is a good number of responses per keyphrase? Including plugin responses and seeks. To be honest I havn't a clue but im guessing 5-10 depending on how often the genearl keyhprase is used?

Go for the max, those are the words used most you'll find...

Start off with five or six, and then if you feel like your bot's repeating himself too often, add more.

For Fizzy Schizoid, I start with 6 responses then add more if I see him using all of them in one convo.

I figured as much. Im within the legal limits thats good to know. I think i will add more anyway. Just to keep the convos stayin fresh.

On the subject of plug-ins, is it "the more the merrier" or "less IS more"?

It...depends. Too many plug-ins in a response tend to make it come out garbled. However, no plug-ins at all means that your bot is always saying the exact same things.

In keyphrases, you can be more free with plug-ins, but try not to be TOO generic. I (verb) (noun) will pick up all sorts of things, but it may be hard to make a response that makes sense in every situation.

Thanks, that makes sense!
