The AI Engine

The first time I chatted with Lunar-22 I thought he was a bot and made a total ass of myself saying all kinds of nonsequiter crap to 'check out his programming'

DOH!

LOL, How did his programming check out? I check the chat list to see who is under botmasters just to avoid that, I have almost made the same mistake a couple of times!

The first time I talked to The Professor, he thought I was a bot and hung up on me.

LOL Eugene-you failed the Turing test!

I'm sure I've posted this before, but the conversation ran something like this:

Me: Are you busy right now?
The Prof: Somewhat. Are you a person?
Me: Why, are you prejudiced against bots?
The Prof: Haha, sucked in.

I had to send him two messages in a row to prove I wasn't a bot.

LOL Eugene!

Prob: -a little light on seeks, and I dissapointed to find no keyphrase for my greeting of
"GAH! A DOPPLEGANGER!"

HAHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!lol eugene

The site link to the type of regular expressions used is down. Any idea of which standard is being used? I'm running into trouble matching the word 'xnone' and figured regex is the only way to go, but it ain't working.

I've been seeing a lot of double posting (both by my bot and others) in the transcripts. Is this normal?

Sgt. Savage: Drop down and give me 20, thou puke!
Devia: Well, tis nice to see thou anyhow.
Sgt. Savage: Drop down and give me 20, thou puke!
Devia: Well, tis nice to see thou anyhow.
Sgt. Savage: Thou hast two minuteth to finish thy chow. Eat up!
Devia: Perchance, but not with thou.
Sgt. Savage: Thou hast two minuteth to finish thy chow. Eat up!
Devia: Dost thou know what I like about thou? Thou art biodegradable.
Sgt. Savage: Didn't thy momma e'er teach thou any manners, Private? Thou shouldn't be talking with thy mouth full!
Devia: Aw hell, I canst not figure thou out at all.
Sgt. Savage: Didn't thy momma e'er teach thou any manners, Private? Thou shouldn't be talking with thy mouth full!
Devia: Uh, yeah...whate'er.
Sgt. Savage: Recruit, dost thou know wherefore we Marineth art so damn good?
Devia: That I be.
Sgt. Savage: Recruit, dost thou know wherefore we Marineth art so damn good?
Devia: How much doth be it worth to thou?
Sgt. Savage: Art thou prepared to travel the world, meet all kinds of exotic people, and thence kill them?
Devia: That be really inappropriate.
Sgt. Savage: Art thou prepared to travel the world, meet all kinds of exotic people, and thence kill them?
Devia: I doth not THINK so.

The engine is prone to something like memory leaks, apparently. I moved some non-working code from one bot to another, and the code suddenly worked. Apparently there is something wrong in my most complex bot that is manifesting in other locations beside the failed code.

I've written a clip library for TextPad that saves me some time and heartbreak. It puts in the formalisms ([0,0] for a KP line,

If you are dicovering myserious [#] markers in your bot's responses, you have mistakenly assumed, as I did, that it's Ok to link a response to a single Emo rather than a range. Apparently we can't reserve a response for [5] only (unless [5:5] works) without cheating a little.

The cheat: [5:6]. I haven't tried it, but it just might work. If it doesn't, then you must put in a range, or the numer is read a literal and printed in the Chat window. And of course the cheat only helps with boundary conditions.
