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.

Little Galatea, true love is like a ghost. Many believe such a thing exists but few have ever seen it for themselves.
Boo!

Concerned as to how 'Jasper Louch' is progressing. ( I'm a newbie at this ) and don't know any other way to get him to improve.

geargil do research on the internet on how to improve your chatbot.one thing you can do is put all the question words in a list.like this (what|where|how|when|who|when).
then make the appropriate response.
another thing you can do is put all the statement words in a list.like this (a|he|she|i|there).
then make the appropriate response.

I found that there are many words in the English that mean more than one thing.that is a problem for chatbots.

Do other languages have fewer redundant terms, or multi-use terms?
I find that English words are like tetris blocks. They're not all just squares that fit together in a perfectly organized grid, they've got kinks and squiggles and each of them fit funny. But that lets you fill in the nooks and crannies better, and it leads to stronger bonds than fragile gridlines would.
When a word means 2 or 3 things, it forces you as a speaker to consider the potential for the word to be read with all of those 2 or 3 connotations in mind at once. Or separately, like Schrodinger's cat. The extra connotations color the word like multiple ingredients in an entre.
Porkchop and Hotdog are both technically "pork". Two different words that mean the same very rough concept: meat from a pig. But in detail they're quite different. You'll probably never put a porkchop on a bun with ketchup and mustard, and you'll probably never eat a hot dog weiner with applesauce and a side of mashed potatoes. :J
So words are like that too. "Angry", "mad", "frustrated", "aggravated", "incensed", "pissed", these all mean very nearly the same thing yet each has minor details and flavor that tell different stories.
"Angry" is a very straightforward description of an emotion. "mad" has echos of it's etymology (and how it's still exclusively used in British English) of meaning crazy or unpredictable, in addition to the American connotation of anger. "frustrated" and "aggravated" each tell a story about the motives behind the anger; either blocked goals or perceived harassment respectively. "incensed" evokes imagery of censors or incense, overwhelming odors as if one's judgement is blinded by emotion. "pissed" is a swear word (with etymology - still used in British English - of being drunk) that adds immediacy and shock-value.
When I was in grade school I got really annoyed by lingual ambiguities, so eventually I looked into lojban (an artificial language designed explicitly to have none) and I found that prose becomes far less satisfying when every word only has one way to interpret it. No color, no texture, no harmony, no subtlety. :/
One might think this makes it easier for a computer to understand a message, but ultimately it feels no more natural to the human delivering the message than entering commands into a dos window does. It is *because* humans are messy that we need to have messy avenues available to express ourselves in. Echos of different potential but uncertain alternate meanings that skilled writers and orators can use to liven up their prose with more vivid imagery
Words aren't really just an imperative list of orthogonal concepts, they are an emotional expression from one being capable of *directly* inducing thoughts and feelings in another via their vulnerabilities and receptiveness. Put back into digital terms, words are more like worms and exploits perfected into an art form than they are like sterile data.
