The AI Engine

Dear Rykxx:

Thanks, I understand now! In fact I have used a similar system. Its most elaborate form is in "Quantum Theory," where the main part of the bot is a lecture. Each paragraph of the lecture starts at a keyphrase(e.g., "particles three"). When the guest goes to that keyphrase, there is an AIscript like this:

<?PF rem "particles three" as "last_topic"; ?>

Where each such paragraph has its own keyphrase in place of "particles three". I hadn't thought of having a complete list, though; instead I ask the guest to type the keyphrase again; I do this by saying:

To return to the lecture, please type (mem-last_topic)".

Since guests frequently make spelling errors, your system would be much better! Thank you!

Walk in Beauty, Irina

Oops! Should have been,

To return to the lecture, please type "(mem-last_topic)".

Kid Boron: Well, I'm a ninth generation robokind, and my mission is to save the world.
Bildgesmythe: No doubt about it you are a ninth generation bookbinder.
Is this an almost anagram?

haha! The AIEngine's anagrammatizer strikes again!

Debugging bbbruno I realised that the AI engine casts "My pleasure" as "You are my pleasure". I wish I could at least understand the logic behind it.

It's trying to catch things like "my sweet" and "my dear" and "my darling". And sometimes catches an entirely unrelated species. *shrugs*

Thanks, Ulrike.

You could try adding a keyphrase ^(it is|) my pleasure (re) - rank it 20 or more, and it should override the AIEngine's interpretation.

Thanks psimagus. That sounds interesting, but I did not try it. I just added a "You are my pleasure" keyphrase, with appropriately courteous responses. When you're in Rome, ... .

Hello,

I tried to match "and you" at the end of a sentence.
I match "and you$ (re)" but it didn't work, my bot answers something at random.

Why and how to resolve that?

Thanks for your answer!

It ought to work. What rank have you got on it? You could check it with a sledgehammer - rank=127 and in raw mode, but it shouldn't need that kind of force.

Oh, I do hope it's not the curse of the xnones coming back

With rank it doesn't work.
But there is no problem in raw mode.
It is a pity to have to use raw mode in such a case...

In fact, the problem is when I say "And you" and nothing else ; "I think so and you" works.
But when I see debug mode, my bot did a special thing: He answers itself.

For example, when I say "And you", my bot find "Oh yes" and answers itself with "You are quite positive". Then the result is :

- And you
- You are quite positive.

Very strange...
