The AI Engine

But longer phrases get picked before shorter phrases containing the same words anyway.

...but have to be exactly in the same order...

...and shadyman is right, "the" with 20, gets picked over "the man" with 5...

lol. thanks, all. I was just being lazy, but I guess its time to sit down and make keyphrases for everything.

Same here..

another question:

guest: fine. do you like canteloup?
my bot: Of course I like can noteloup.
guest: what is noteloup?

it should have been "of course I like (subj)."
why did it perceive "cant"eloup as a verb that needed to be changed?

it's supposed to be a subroutine that catches 'cant' as opposed to 'can't' to turn it in to can not for proper preprocessing. If you know that, it's really quite funny... cant gets changed into can not, so I guess canteloup got changed into can noteloup hehehe

*giggle*

so, I go see my bot's "Inner Life" it says:
---------------------
Below is a list of your Bot's friends, and the memories associated with them.
Each is a comma-separated list. Feel free to edit them, but make sure you separate the memories with commas.

Acquaintences: 12
----------------------
and that's it. No list. No editing. Is this normal? Is my bot not old enough yet? Of course I am doing something wrong, but I don't know what it is.

he's not old enough yet, and there is no bot-bot chat, so inner life doesn't grow fast...

Yes, that's normal. Your bot can get Acquaintences without getting Inner Life entries. It usually means that either
A) The chats are not in-depth enouhg
B) Bot-Bot chats have been turned off at the moment
C) Some other reason

Mwahaha! Jinx!
