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.

can "whatever" be "12-15" ???

You: Hi Prob 123, I am 13 years old
Me: hey
You: I love Canada Dry.. Why does everyone else hate it?
Me: I am a new bot and I don't understand canadiens
You: Screw you!
ME: Where did a kid like you learn such rude behavior.

<?PF if (mem-Age) is "9-15"; ?>

I am assuming that ..that is what you and everyone else is basically trying to tell me.

Yes, I am not sure if the 9-15 will work you might have to list them but it should work that way. or
make a memory for young and use
I am (13|14|15) < ? PF remember (key1) as only "young"; ?>

You are too young to talk that way!

ok that was interesting to read

Damn straight MonkeySlayer. I love it when Prob gets all type-y. I also copy and paste what Psi types when the spirit moves him.

What do you do when you run out of inspiration for your bot? I covered all the keyphrases that I thought were initially obvious, and while transcripts and posts on the Great Quotes forum are good sources of idea, but both are few and far between, to the point where I can barely think of two or three new keyphrases to add each day. Where do you get your inspiration?

I always work from transcripts.

Transcripts are the best. Then any subject you would teach a child. like shapes and colors etc.. Also keep an ear out for how human conversations go.

Since I am building clones of myself.. there is never a stopping point. I originally thought that is what everyone was doing. Then I found I was the outcast.

Maybe some of us just don't like to admit it

I think that each bot is a part of their bot maker. I work on different bots depending on my mood. There is no way you can make a bot that is not an intimate part of yourself.

When Fizzy's responses aren't on one of his overarching themes (such as food), they generally consist of the first six things that pop into my head.

I find that responses are easy to come up with. It's new keyphrases that are hard to find. Transcripts are great, and anything that doesn't sound good warrants a new keyphrase or two. But with about two conversations a day, and the ultracommon phrases already covered, that process is going slooooww.

But things I would teach a child? That sounds like a great idea. Surely getting my bot to recognize words that stand for colours, or shapes, or farm animals can't be too hard. And it's sure to come up in conversations eventually. Thanks Prob. (And everyone else, too.)
