The AI Engine

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.

It's both, a keyphrase, and an accompanying script, that are important here. Even the exact wording of a question designed to solicit a particular info plays some (limited) role.

As for the script, the solution proposed by prob123 is the best one I have found myself, so far.

Now, the keyphrases... here are two situations that apply in our case:

1.
keyphrase: I live in
script: <?PF rem(postkey) as "livein";>
question: Where do you live?

2.
keyphrase: I am from
script: <?PF rem(postkey) as "from";>
question: Where are you from?

The first one will almost always result in a correct content being captured and stored as a designed memory.

The second one is flawed, as a matter of speaking, and the weakness is indeed embedded in the keyphrase. Considering the wording of the question/ phrase, a number of answers such as: "Why do you ask where I'm from?" "Why do you want to know where I am from?" ... etc... any response that has your keyphrase simply repeated at its end (and god knows, bots love doing it!) will result in "(postkey)" being added, as a content, to "from" memory module.

You can also use (*) the hard wild card.
I am from (*). <?PF rem(key1) as "from";>

the hard wild card has to be "something" so it will avoid the questions like Where am I from.

the soft wild card * will react to some thing or nothing and would react to Where am I from.

Thanks for all the help. I'll keep trying the different methods until something good happens. And yes, I have run into "(postkey)" as being where they're "from" -- that's what I'm trying to get away from. (All the other bots do it, Electra says to me.)

I never use the <?PF rem (xxxxxx) as "zzzzzzz";> format
What I do to store memories is type:

rem (xxxxxx) as "zzzzzzz"; rem (yyyyyy) as "aaaaaaa";

in the AIscriptbox, using (mem-zzzzzzz) and (mem-aaaaaaa) in the bots' responses. It always worked and still works like that for my bots.

With the guests all being 153, it is good to use
<?PF remember "memorycontents" as only "memoryname"; ?>
on some memories too. It makes sure that a memory from a past user isn't used.

LarsB -- yeah, that's what I've been reduced to, but I wanted an interactive bot -- how would I know what Fizzy's favorite color of moon dust is? But I do use the initialization script a lot. Unless maybe I'm missing something, I don't see how I could find out something about a bot in conversation using only initialization.

prob -- good idea. I'll add that right away.

There is only one "default (name) as "name"" in the initialization box on the settings page. What I meant is the AIscriptbox you see when you add a key phrase.
What I understand is that whenever a memory is stored it is stored only for that bot/human, Fizzy's favourite colour of moon dust would not, if you manage to get it stored, be used for other bots/humans in chats.

re the guest 153 memories, i have a lot of memories of these users stored and i love to read transcripts of quest 153 responding to other quest 153 stored responses. That'll teach them, not, but at least I do not have to take counter measures like HANGUP and whatnot.
