Bot Contest

No matter how obscure you think a keyphrase is, try to come up with at least 2 or 3 different responses (even the same thing phrased 3 different ways), in the event of another idiot typing the same thing 3 times. See Gaia's transcript for many, many examples.

That's interesting. What do you think made your bot worse when she had more phrases?

Yeah, Gaia's transcript is what induced me to finally put in a keyphrase for "ok"

I'm not really sure. I think a lot of it was the other bot having messed up grammar, the screwy word substitution, and the fact that I don't usually edit my bot's memories. She came out with a lot of total crap there for a while, but I think she's actually worth talking to again. Also, another user has told me his bot tends to come up with a lot of xnones, which may be similar. I don't really remember, it wasn't like I logged on here all the time during the blah stage.

Why? I always thought "OK" is the kind of thing that's best answered with any xnone.

Oh, something else. It seems that the newest keyphrases get used the most. Like if you have 9 other responses already to a certain word/phrase and you add another one, I *think* that one takes priority.

Because one of my responses for "ok" is something to the effect of "You sound just like an idiotic guest."

I wonder how King Zolf would do in loebner...

When is it, anyway?

I think little mu is by far the best I've seen lately, and doug'd. It is indeed strange, the more phrases the less they talk

I haven't noticed any reduction in how often mine talks.....then again, my bot is doctor level.

Little Mu, is, no offense to the creator, overrated, I think. But I think the whole kitten storytelling would go over nicely at loebner.

I seem to recall little mu usually has spelling problems though.

hey butterfly, you're "new responses take priority" is so true lol I just went through and added phrases to Steve, and so far the new ones are all he uses
