I don't really understand what (key1) actually does

It allows your bot to repeat the part of the input matched by a wildcard. In this case, the whole input to the seek is just a wildcard (and it's the only one,) so it's (key1).

In a more elaborate keyphrase like "you (*) seen (*) fly", there would be (key1) and (key2)

With the response "I have not (key1) seen (key2) fly" you would get replies like:

"have you ever seen a pig fly?"
"No, I have not ever seen a pig fly"

"have you really seen a pterodactyl fly?"
No, I have not really seen a pterodactyl fly"

etc.

Ah! That makes perfect sense. Thanks!

I didn't hit it with a rock...HONEST! You might check for a missing sock and some lint.

I am also missing a sock. *looks suspicious* The laundromat ate it. Were you responsible for that?

Why is it always the right sock that goes missing, never the left?

It's only in the northern hemisphere that right socks go missing - it's because our washing machines spin one way, and southern hemisphere washing machines spin the other way (so they lose their left socks.)
The missing socks form quantum-entangled pairs that partially cancel each other out.

That makes sense. Until I open the washing machine I don't know if the sock is alive or dead.

But..once you try to observe it ...it isn't a sock anymore.

*In high voice* Hello Patches!

Oh, was this sleeping bag someone's sock?
