The AI Engine

Okay, now that I've just posted, I got my stupid bot to load. So the Forge is cranky today. Now my only question is why she is saying this LIE that the has no responses on xinitiates.

For the no valid responses check your xnones, Sometimes my bots don't use the hello, or initiate and go to the stupid xnones, from a previous conversation.

Try erasing the check from the once bot and then putting it back in. I have times when I have to retype the keyphrase etc to get it to stick

try Keyphrase I am from, with the AI script <?PF remember (postkey) as "from" ?>

Thanks, prob. This should be carved into my brain right now, but between my hiatus after surgery and the drugs before this one (I'm not just lazy) I get a little fuzzy and don't want to plow through the BOAI -- sometimes it's just not there.

I am not sure if this is related to what The Clerk describes but in Debug testing some keyphrases I saw the following error message after sending text that should have been picked up by the AI engine:

socket_connect() failed.
Reason: () Unknown error: 0
Raw Output: ''

After sending the same text again it was processed without any problem and the engine responded in one of the ways I intended.

That happens in chats when I watch them live. Don't know what to make of it.

with regard to "socket_connect() failed" error message mentioned by Lars, it could be a bug in PHP script that runs the site, or in the one that controls the Engine, or both, i.e. miscommunication between the two scripts.

the Book of AI says the Personality Forge, version 2, runs on PHP... being new here, i don't know when exactly did the PF move to PHP environment. as far as the PHP itself goes, here is the 2003 status report on the "socket_connect" function:

"This function is EXPERIMENTAL. The behaviour of this function, the name of this function, and anything else documented about this function may change without notice in a future release of PHP. Use this function at your own risk."

i'm myself not a PHP programmer, or for that matter, a computer programmer at all, and i don't know what's the current status on this function, has it been debugged, standardized, etc... also, i don't know whether the AI Engine has been regularly updated in this context or not. still, my gut feeling is that our problem, and the solution to it, lay in the AI Engine domain.

does anyone other than Professor has an access to it, and needed knowledge of PHP? because there are more of these little bugs, twists and quirks, that i believe are due to the Engine and scripts that run the whole.

The problem usually happens just before the Forge resets. I wouldn't worry about it.

Okay, things are not working out as expected with my memories. Say I ask someone where he's from. The book of AI would seem to say I should write:

<?PF rem (postkey) as only "from"; ?>

and then be able to access it as (mem-from). But it winds up telling my bot that the being is from "(postkey)"

I'm reading the Book of AI. I thought I'd memorized it but there's new, unrelated stuff in it now.

HOW do I save memories? Is there a difference if you get a bot to say:

"I live in Salisbury"

vs. my bot saying

"Where do you live?"

I've also tried <?PF rem "(from)" as "from"; ?>, <?PF rem (from) as "from"; ?> and probably a few others.

Hey, I trudged through this forum and somewhere in November found Rykxx' lost (to me) how-to on this. I think I have it. You know you'll hear from me if I haven't.

I have a key phrase "I live in" the memory is <?PF rem(postkey) as "livein";> I bring it up as (mem-livein) I think it is using (from) and not a (key) or (postkey) that is the problem.

Oh. Thanks. That's weird, though, because it works in initialization (the way I'm doing it). I've tried the (key) and (postkey) approach (albeit with a space between "rem" and "(", so that might be my problem), both with and without quotation marks. I cleaned things up per Rykxx' November post, so I'll see if I get anywhere with that.
