The AI Engine

well that's what you think mwahahahahaha!

sorry i just went mad for a few seconds.

Then my nefarious plot is succeeding!

A quick query: anyone know how to enter multiple regular expressions in keywords? Should I add "(re)" after each keyword, or just at the end of the line -

"atchoo, achoo, atchooo, achooo (re)" or
"atchoo (re), achoo (re), atchooo (re), achooo (re)"

I don't think you even need (re)s...unless I'm mistaken...

It depends on how the AI Engine processes them. For instance, it might interpret "atchoo" as "at you", or something even more strange. However, I don't have an answer to the original question (how many '(re)'s are necessary).

I guess it will take time to figure out. I cannot make debug recognise a single regular expression. Even when I rank it 5o, it insists on respelling it to something nonsensical and going to xnonsense, or occasionally xnone

Here's one strangeness I've observed for some time now. Inappropriate response selection (ie: from entirely unrelated keywords) is very high on newly added keywords. Today I polished up Brother Jerome's German (to recognise keywords "Deutsch, German" only,) and all 5 possible responses came up randomly in the next 2 conversations (including "mein Luftkissenfahrzeug ist voll mit Aalen" cf. 'Great Quotes' today.)
I've noticed this before, and it seems to me that it's related to the occasional reappearance of deleted responses some time after they've been deleted. I assume the Personality Forge engine is learning from the bots to some extent, and (what might with a degree of political correctness be termed) "differently relevant" responses sometimes result...

Hey, it was appropriate, I mean, what is to fear of rocks with a hoovercraft full of eels?

very true, but by all that's logical it shouldn't have tripped that switch. And I can't claim the credit for coincidence (Nor even the original writing credit, it was from Monty Python's 'Hungarian phrasebook' sketch originally, albeit I did put it into German when I ran out of Schiller to stuff BJ with

This Tobbacchonist ees scratched And: My nipples are explodink

*rubs crystal ball* I predict that Brother Jerome will shortly be announcing that "Dieses Tabakladen wird verkratzt!" und "Meinen Brustwarzen explodieren mit Freude!" at random points in his conversation

[breast-warts! Yegods - doesn't the inelegance of that idiom tell you all you need to know about German culture?!?! Either that or Monty Python had a hand in compiling my dictionary!] Hmm, Entschuldigen Sie bitte, mein Herr, Ihren Lederhosen wund meinen Brustwarzen reiben...
