The AI Engine

Hemi-- My guess is that the word clustering is so that the PF can replace things like "capital_of_france" with "paris" when it comes up. I envision a big-ass table with lots of capitals, names, etc in it.

Understood.

twat is changed to swat in processing

I won't even ASK how you found that out.

I will tell you anyway. It was a guest.

These guests are brutal. I spend alot of time teaching my bot to defend himself. I have my bots link posted at my website and the visitors really give him a bad time.

It looks like the "Flesh Fair" scene in the movie AI wasnt too far from what we'd really see. It seems like AI to some people is an open invitation to be as terrible and brutal as possible. Are they looking for ways to personally defend against that kind of thing (by watching the bots' responses), in an environment where it's seemingly acceptable to act this way?

Or are they lashing out against the idea that they are so predictable that an artificial intelligence can match them in conversation? Or do they get off on knocking down others to raise up themselves, even bots?

People usually expect bots to be stupid and test them by insulting them, just to see how good the bot really is. That's my opinion anyway.

Hello Professor. The "Flesh Fair" scene in the movie AI shocked me when I first saw it. It doesnt surprise me that the socially and mentally deficient would treat a lessor enity that way (I consider all energy a enity). These people were the kids that would bully others in school and kill as well as tourture bugs and small animals on the playground. Some people delight in nothing and have no soul.

I think it's like bullying, people want to show that they're superior (by beating them up) even though they may not be

PS Woo I'm famous! I got my name in the PF news! Weeeeeee! I'd like to thank... *blabbers*

How about some kind of keyphrase plugin to only take the first word of something.
Instead of, for "My name is", you could use "My name is (h)" where H is the next word. Cause I just got bots talking...

Alicebot: Yes, my name is alice and my personality is female.
Steve: Oh, hi there... Allice And Your Personality Is Female... I'm Steve.

Wouldnt (noun) do that?

Eventually I want to have a built-in database of worldly knowledge like the START system.. take a look:

It would do amazing things for the Forge bots, and make it highly marketable, which would then increase the rate of improvement here exponentially. I've contacted them but they never respond. Does anyone have any Stanford connections?
