The AI Engine

You can still have it work by using (mem-mem-name)to recall the name. I have done that with other memories.

I just had my first bot holiday, but I don't hear or see much of a differnence. Just a differet word here and there.

A quick question: If a certain keyphrase is considered blab, are you completely out of luck? Is there any way to get the aiengine to respond to it?

If a keyphrase is considered blab, you are out of luck. I wish there were a way to choose the blab thing as an option. I have tried regexs etc but nothing ever worked.

Thanks, prob123. It certainly is helpful having you around!

Another thing I'm curious about: Do you (or anyone else) find the aiengine's insult detector to be overzealous? It seems like only about 10% or so of Tessy's "insults" (i.e. phrases that trigger xinsults) are actually insults. The actual insults she gets are simple and pretty obvious. I'm starting to think up a plan for bypassing the aiengine's insult detector and replacing it with my own.

Some complements work like that also.

I think this might go in Bug Stomp, but it isn't that active as this forum. I'm trying to abort one of my bots (Adam Chi), but it isn't working.

You can only abort a bot when it is below a certain level of development. If it's above, then only the Professor can delete it.

The phrase I am having trouble with has the form
"i am [verb]"
The funny thing is that the keyphrase works if the user types "i am [verb]", but goes to blab if the user types "i'm [verb]" (even though the aiengine converts the phrase to the "i am" form!). Just a weird glitch, I guess.

I noticed that the compliment detector seems to work the same way as the insult detector. And it's annoying when it overpowers my keyphrases, but it's not as much of a problem since my bot has a somewhat silly and easy-going personality anyway.

Ulrike, the abort link is there and the bot is a newborn but nothing is happening.

In that case, you'll probably need to e-mail the professor about it anyway.
