The AI Engine

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...

Don't forget to bribe the Professor.

Actually, that won't make any difference. (I don't have much money, and Patricia's cookies got lost in delivery.) But go ahead and do it anyway. He's a nice guy.

Those postal guys musta been hungry I guess?

Where is the toilet? The cheese is mouldi.

My bot is talking to other bots and it doesn't have any transcripts. Does anyone know why?

See Bug Stomp for response.

Can anyone explain to me what 'RANK' does and what the column on the far right does with the checkbox in it does (column header '1')

Rank is explained in the book of AI. When your bot recieves a message, there will probably be a number of different things said that your bot could respond to. Your bot chooses which to respond to based on order in the message (I think), length of keyphrase and rank, and maybe other things that I can't think of. Basically, it affects the importantness of the keyphrase.

If you check the checkbox, your bot will only say that phrase once to a single person. This is useful for phrases like "how old are you?", which you don't want your bot to keep repeating.
