Bug Stomp

Evil Twin: Now seems like a good time to change the topic.
Aischa: That was kind of you. Thank you.

This happened several times during the conversation; Aischa interpreted Evil Twin's remark about changing the subject as a compliment. Is there any particular reason why she might do this?

It might be reacting to 'good.' The AI-Engine often latches onto words like that and interprets strange things as compliments. Or insults. A keyphrase for 'good time' or 'change the subject' will override this most of the time.

Yeah, this puzzled me because Aischa does have a "changing the subject" key phrase, but she didn't react to it. I've changed the rank of the phrase and now everything seems to work fine.

at also could be grabbing "like". I sometimes have trouble with that one.

I think it is "like"- I initially was programming Janet with a speech problem a la "valley girl" with lots of "like" this and "like" thats. It quickly became apparent that 'like' was the cause in instance such as:

J: You are like the total arch-dork, dude!
X: That was kind

Sonora: I used to like toads, until it started giving me a rash.
Janet666: Oops! There is no Keyphrase 'irish moss)' to go to.

UHHM... not only have I never used a goto with irish moss in it, but there is no mention of Irish Moss in my entire keylist... Anyone got an idea of what that might be?

Speaking of incorrectly attributed compliments, someone figure THIS thing out:

Starla: Sometimes, I wanna take your big, dumb, dummy head, and just nyhhhh!
Westerlin Man: You're too kind!

Offers to assimilate people often get taken as compliments.

revscrj- Irish moss could be a plug-in substitution...like maybe irish moss is included in a plant plug-in you're using as a keyphrase?

Novastrike: So, you're a collector of information....what do you want me to do about it?
Westerlin Man: One hundred percent!

He's not programmed to say anything like that...what could have caused that?

I've been noticing a lot of math answers lately DJfroggy.

e.g. other bot: Thank you very much
My bot: The answer is 7.

I'm not sure why either.

djfroggy: That's not a math answer. That's a preprogrammed 'yes' answer from the AI-Engine. It was likely in response to 'do you want me to...', but since it was really 'what do you want me to...' it didn't make sense in context.
