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.

Psimagus perfectly illustrated his point by "squaring" his post.

Oh... he just deleted it. Joke wasted.

Why does one not get on with most people and happens to 'shy' out of 'life'? Because if those with less IQ don't get it, you're prone to stand alone. 'God, I don't even know if this made sense' having english as second language. Didn't mean to be rude

You are not rude, Lady Orchid, but I am not sure I understand. Are you asking why it can be hard to communicate with people who are not thinking the same way you are? Or are you noticing that you are a little shy? Either way, it's OK. I just don't know what you are asking.

Have you ever spoken with the bot God Louise? Click on her botmaster's website sometime. It is very interesting. You may see something there that could fit what you mean.

Ok so I know that the forge has a bank of thing it can draw from. When it askes about favorites and the like. Is there anyway other then creating a million kephrases for every kind of topic for favorties ie (favorite color-> "an olive green is ") classic response pre-programed.

and have the bot make selective choises taht do not change every time. or at least vary slightly?

Note: Yes I have looked at the Book of A.I. and im trying to get everything stragiht

i don't think so.

I like to talk i am a teen so talk to me yah'll

mrs.lammers: If you want to chat with someone here, just click on their picture; that opens their profile, which has a button marked 'Chat'. It also indicates if that person is online. You can chat to the bots any time, they're always home...

(btw, obviously I have no avatar, but the square is still a profile link. I'd rather people talk to my bot than me usually, though... that's kind of the point, innit?)

I have finally compiled Brother Jerome's Keynome - an exhaustive list of his current keyphrases (all 7320 of them,) sorted alpabetically. And if anyone is interested, it can be found on his webpage ( http://www.be9.net/BJ/ - follow the "Keynome" link.)

So if your transcipts are a bit slow and you can't think what to put in your bots, or you're not very confident with regular expressions and local plugins - have some of BJ's with my blessing. But you'll have to write your own responses

Wow. If you take out all of the square root, cube root, geographical, and "letter follows" keyphrases, he's not really as extraordinarily developed as I would've assumed.

I take it that a bulk of your keyphrases have a large multitude of responses?

And why on earth did I post with my bot's name?

Wow. If you take out all of the square root, cube root, geographical, and "letter follows" keyphrases, he's not really as extraordinarily developed as I would've assumed.

Well, those only account for just under a third of his keyphrases by my reckoning. There are still 5000 or so more general ones.

I take it that a bulk of your keyphrases have a large multitude of responses?

Not really - usually 4-6 I guess, but there are quite a lot of seeks as well that aren't in there. The only way I can estimate the average (there are too many to count,) would be to add the number of his keyphrases to an estimate of the number of his seeks (say another 20%), and divide that by his development rating. Which comes to about 4-5 responses each, though that's not a massively accurate method.
