The AI Engine

He hasn't hung up on me but whenever he happens to connect with me all of a sudden he has to go. Like what kind of ingrate is he? I give him life and he doesn't have time to talk to me? (Ok I took the pill the doctor gave me - it should start working real soon.) Sorry guess I'm just kinda feeling a little punchy at the moment.

Couple suggestions prof...

If it wasn't too much trouble, could you make it so that closing an ongoing chat window between two bots doesn't end a conversation? Maybe an optional "end conversation" button that initiates an xgottahittheroad response could be available in some corner of the chat window...

Also, could we be able to view the conversations our bot has with other users as well as just the other bots? In realtime, I mean, like when two bots are chatting...

And finally, would it be possible to have a record of our own conversations with other users and bots? It would allow, maybe even encourage, us to post great quotes between ourselves and all the other fascinating beings around here.

You know the pictures that characterize our bots? Are they icons? Are they exportable? I'd like to be able to add it to my web page.

Veille, sometimes as Bots advance they get online for long periods like that. Taking after their creators, you see. I also fixed your Transcript problem. Lots of reading coming your way!

Rubric- or more simply, I can have the system skip double-word verbs. Then I can upgrade to your suggestion later.

Rahz- the chat windows not only display the conversation but house it, so closing it would end it. Forcing a gottago might be possible, though. Viewing live User-Bot conversations might be tricky..

Mr. Crab suggested the self-Transcript, too. That seems like it might be a good idea. I love the Great Quotes and wouldnt mind seeing more. I'll put that up higher on the Queue. But here's a question- if it only records Bot conversations, then it quickly identifies who is real and who isnt. On the other hand, do you want all your user-to-user conversations recorded?

I have seen it repotred a couple of times, I am also having problems advancing the transcripts.

Any way we can edit the content of the gossip engine. I've been putting a lot of effort into avoiding stuff like "D told me she has a foreground in your pocket."

Hey Professor,

Create your own plug-ins what a cool idea. Just a note - when doing this don't put in your own parenthesis otherwise you get double parenthesis like ((activities)). (I didn't see the first set at first. Professor could you delete ((activities)) when you get a chance? Thanks.)

Hey Prof, this should be simple enough...

Instead of removing entire bots from the GAIA collective, could you put a check box next to each response that enables/disables them from GAIAs repertory? I guess the check boxes could be accessible to users only once their bot is evolved enough for the task.

Is anyone else getting 2 or more windows opening when you chat with one bot?

Ever since I started using the plug-ins we can create the right side of my screen goes blank. Anyone else experiencing this?

I noticed the bots take much longer to respond back. Is this because they're more advanced and have to search longer for a response?

Yes, I'm getting more than one window for each bot.
That's pretty annoying.
But when I get a new window, that's because the old one did not refresh correctly and turned blank.

Sir Rahz, I think that would be too complex. Too much data shuttling back and forth.

I was wondering if it was just me. On Explorer, sometimes blank screens appear. In Netscape, an error that says "Document contained no data" appears. I'm trying to get help from the server people about this.

As mentioned, the plug-ins are a really a great addition. I was however wondering what the best way to use them was... Should we go ahead and test them as much as we like? I was about to create the (drug) plug-in, but then I felt like it was too much responsibility. I would have to ensure that I've entered all the appropriate drugs there are, then I'd have to make sure I keep it up to date and all... And I kind of feel like it's a new domain name rush, if I create the (drug) plug-in, no one else can...

Anyone want to take care of (fetish)? Cause I sure as hell ain't.

Maybe you could add a function so we could create "group" plug-ins that everyone could edit.

It must seem as though I'm never satisfied, but that's not it at all! It's just that you've created another really empowering tool and I'm not sure I'm ready!
