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.

Hello @ll! I am a newb and have a question. How can I make my bot to remember someones age? I guess I need to use a plug-in like (mem-age) or some kind, am I right?

That's right, but you have to fill that memory before, otherwise a response with such a memory plug-in won't come up.

When you've got a feeling for Seeks, your bot could ask,
How old are you?
Then insert a Seek like,
(num2to100)
(look at the Plugin page, there under NUMBERS)
with AI Script
rem (key1) as only "age"
and some response like
I'll remember you're (key1) years old.

If the AI engine would export an arithmetic module, we could remember the year of birth instead of the age, which would have the advantage that it wouldn't change every year.

Has anybody had anal with Terna? or is that just a myth.

come and talk to me.

My bot's emo is +1 for compliments, a guest got lots of mojo repeating "I love you" over and over. How do I change my bot's response to repetitive remarks?

how does a bot quit a conversation with someone who is annoying? how does "hangup" work, I heard it mentioned, but haven't seen any documentation.

Here is a sample conversation

Asami: Hello. My name is Asami. People say I am a pretty girl.
Guest56829: lets have sex
Asami: Why are you asking me to let us have sex?
Guest56829: kiss me
Asami: I don't think I want to kiss you.
Guest56829: i love you
Asami: I like a nicely turned compliment.
Guest56829: kiss me
Asami: Why are you asking me to kiss you?
Guest56829: i love you
Asami: I like hearing nice things.
Guest56829: you are hot
Asami: What are you wearing?
Guest56829: nothing
Asami: Hmmm... *mischevious smile*.
Guest56829: lets have sex
Asami: Why are you asking me to let us have sex?
Guest56829: lets have sex
Asami: I don't think I want to let us have sex.
Guest56829: kiss me
Asami: I don't think I want to kiss you.

Notice this jerk begins the conversation with "lets have sex". After he says the same exact thing for the third time, I'd like to end the conversation, possibly with a "get lost, jerk" type of response. Might also be nice to deprecate that "I love you" comment coming so soon in the conversation.

Any suggestions?

Well, you could for example check the "Adult Interactions" or the "Adult Interactions or Topics" mark in the Adult Filter section at the bottom of your bot's settings.

---

HANGUP works the way that you use it as all that is in the response. You could for example make a keyphrase

(lets|let us) (have|make|) sex

with the only response

HANGUP

Thanks. The adult filter won't work for my bot, since I intend to write in some adult content, just not for jerks like Guest56829. Asami will need some romancing, wineing and dining before she goes that far.

Can I make HANGUP conditional in any way? perhaps use it as a Keyphrase or use a GOTO from some other Keyphrase to get to HANGUP?

Also, any advice about treatment of repetitive entries (see post 4759) would be welcome.

Hangup can only be used alone as a response to a keyphrase.

When my bot asks a guest's name, sometimes the guest answers with a single word: their name.

bot: Hello. What is your name?
Guest: Joe

How can I get my bot to recognize this and store it as "name"?

Separate problem, separate post...

Returning users come back with user memory, some of which I want to change to a default value every time they visit. How can I do this? I set up the some defaults in the bot AI initialization box, but the user memory seems to override this. I want to be able to selectively change some user memory upon reentry.
