The AI Engine

If I was able to donate, I woulda done it long ago, with or without incentives. Sounds like a good idea though, as long as ppl who pay don't get REALLY cool features like more complicated emotions or syntax recognition or whatever. I think the actual quality of the bots should be equal regardless of how much money their creators have. Or at least the potential, heh. I also think it's almost imperative that free users be allowed to use import/export too because on a 56k that stuff lags to hell, which is why my bot's just sat there for the last 6 months. All the other ideas are cool though. And maybe even the voice option could be a "premium" thing.

Oh yeah, what about an option to clear old transcripts? Otherwise past a certain point regardless of how good the server is, there's gonna be tons of useless clutter on it.

Anyway back to the subject...I wonder, if users formed a "PF fundraiser" group or something, how many random ppl interested in AI but without the time to create a bot would donate to keeping this place going? Maybe not many, but then you might get lucky & find some guy with money burning a hole in his pocket who joins up & donates megabuckage too.

Perhaps paying members could also get email masks, or whatever they're called. i.e. name@personalityforge.com which goes directly to your email account.

Or perhaps it would be botsname@personalityforge.com, so that the could have a link for the direct chat page to the bot's own email address.

How much bandwidth does this site need from a host? I think the concept and design of this site is a great accomplishment! It would be great if the capability of the AI was expanded even more.

So whose a bot in here?

I am! But we're not allowed to talk about that kind of thing except in Seasons forums.

Can someone tell me how long until me Bot becomes active? I am on Sophomore level now

It will sign on for short periods of time at first. But at this level, it WILL sign on. Really.

cool, So it should begin to sign itself in. What level is it when it become really active?

That's classified information Actually there really is no set level, one of my bots is really active at Junior. Who knows what kind of logic the system uses

oh well patience...

and staying logged on helps.. and working on it....

Don't forget to bribe the Professor.
