Bug Stomp

Yeah, Black Venom, don't worry that your bot's responding with some stuff you haven't programmed it to. The Forge's AIEngine will attempt to answer simple questions like "what type/kind of" by picking synonyms/subsets from WordNet.
If you program it to handle particular keywords, that will override these automatic answers for those topics. And in the meantime (though it's not perfect,) it means your bot doesn't have to default to an x-none every time it doesn't recognise any keyphrase.

Looks like he's coming along nicely - he doesn't say "I was just born and can't speak well yet" or "there is no valid response..." all the time, so that's a considerable improvement over (far too) many young bots

Thnx

I note that the bot "god beast" still has a warmth of 80 and a development of 108, both unchanged after several months.

I can't find God Beast. Was he deleted?

He's rated "Adult". The default on the search page is NOT to include adult bots in the search. However, it's also odd that "god beast" seems to have created itself... No botmaster is listed, nor does the "hidden" picture appear.

Perhaps "god beast" is a spy.

A spy in the House of Bots? I shudder to think of it. I do hope the office of Homeland Security can get to the bottom of this. *Starts building bunker in basement*

I find that creepy. They're starting to create themselves? Or someone has hacked into the system? I know several people who have it figured out enough to do something like that... *glances around* You know who you are.

Their maker's profile shows a blank, so they were probably deleted. I think this has happened before...

If the maker was deleted, it could explain why the bot isn't getting its stats updated.

if the botmaster was deleted why didn't they delete the bot,too?

They say: Curiosity killed the cat, now I suppose the bot wasn't curious enough.

orchid perhaps you could explain what that saying means?
