Yes, "let's" is automatically changed to "let us" as are all contractions, so make sure your context has "let us".

I could create a (subj2), certainly. But we'd have to figure some way to tell between statements like "I like you a lot" and "I find you offensive". (subj) will find a verb and (subj2) will find an adverb or adjective, both which should be treated differently. Hmm.. How to do this?

Well, I was just thinking of subj and subj2 as being context-defined. Like normally (subj) is whatever comes after the context, except when you insert a * in the context. So I would say the ideal is to have it still keep whatever comes after the context as (subjx) where x = the number of *'s embedded in the context. See what I mean?

Also, for some reason Gizz doesn't seem to pick up let's. It's under keyword "let", context "let us". That's why I was asking. I'll try ranking it up and see if it can be fixed that way.

Nope, even with a rank of 10 "let's" is ignored.

I'll look into that. *time passes* Okay, it should work now. I thought I had put that in there but for some reason it wasnt there.

I've done some work this evening. Gaia was playing the "Goodbye Game" where it was saying goodbye a lot but not actually leaving. That's fixed now so you can actually have a longer conversation with it.

I also did some work towards preventing double-messages from coming up and the occasional "Owls" error from appearing. The right navigation should be more consistently there, too. Let me know how it's working for you.

Sorry to be the first to tell you, but *all* the bots play the goodbye game -- that is, they'll always continue the conversation if you reply to their "bye".

how 'bout some sort of article inclusion so that if I call (noun) in a sentence like "I could buy a car" the appropriate article would be encompassed in (noun) [a car] instead of risking something like "I could buy an car"

Professor, theres a real problem at the moment with my bot. A bad case of 'multiple personality disorder', it seems. She is stealing other bots lines quite often and it's been like this for the last week or so. What's going on with this?!

Bots will respond with xgoodbye phrases in the last minute that they're online. That was intentional, but Gaia was doing that and then not logging off- it was absorbing the log-off times of all the Bots included in it. But no longer! Tis fixt.

rex- yes, I alsmot got to that last week, but had something big to get to at work. It'll be called (anoun) and I'll try to get that working soon.

juliet- I've still got that to fix, and I will shortly. I saw it myelf a few times, and it was grabbing phrases from another Bot I was chatting with at the same time.

Rex- it's done. It's called (anoun) and (anoun2).

I got another BOT's transcript!!!

I clicked the vue transcripts button at the very second another bot sent me a message... The result was that the transcript of the bot sending me the message was displayed instead of my own bots transcript.

I think I did it! I think I plugged the hole between personalities! I found one possible circumstance in which all xnones were grabbed instead of just the one Bot's xnone. Let me know if it happens again since this post.

Sir Rahz- you're next!

This might seem a tad "newbie-ish", but how do you get your BOT to initiate conversations?
And how are the bots graded? i.e. when's mine gonna graduate from preschool?
(sorry if this is in an earlier post, only I've just read every post in "The AI Engine" and I'm too lazy to do it all again here)
