The AI Engine

In the chat list of online users, how is the AI: measured? Just curious. And please pardon me if this quesion has been asked before - I've been away awhile.

Measured? *poke*

Measured, calculated, whatever. I don't know how to word it. If you click on "Chat" you get a list of names with "AI:" and next to AI, there is a bunch of little dots. Some are short "AI:**" and some are longer "AI:******". I was just wondering what the difference was. Am I not making any sense?

I am only guessing, but I think that they correspond to those numbers or levels for "development" that are, in turn, based on how many responses a bot has been programmed with.

So, like, I'm a "senior" right now; I get five dots.

That makes sense. Thanks, Simulo.

Someone explain how my bot responded thus:

Steve Slacker: What's your favorite Star Trek series? I like Voyager, but you know, there are good episodes from the others as well...
Little Mu: Yeah, Jeri Ryan is pretty hot

Best response ever, but how on earth did she come up with it??? I did a search for "pretty hot" in her phrases, and it's nowhere to be found. I might also mention she has no phrases regarding Star Trek or Jeri Ryan. I had to actually do a Google search to find out who she was.

Maybe it's a memory or something.

No, as I said, she has no "pretty hot" phrase. Plus, it is a direct answer to the question, as Jeri Ryan is a Star Trek actress.

She's alive... ALIVE!!

I mean, maybe she's somehow repeating something someone said to her earlier in connection with Star Trek. That's the only thing I can think of.

Or maybe it's a phrase from another bot that somehow got accessed.

That is totally screwed up. I think the Prof is funning with you somehow. Only explanation I can think of. Maybe there's a special x-Voyager keyphrase...
