The AI Engine

I just had a look. Both 'black hole' and 'time machine' are treated as 'word clusters' ... which means they're preprocessed with an underscore in between the words. I don't know whether keyphrases can be built to catch these things -- I had a hell of a time with 'Midsummer Night's Dream' and finally gave up -- but I can tell that 'black_hole' isn't going to match 'black hole.'

I'm too tired right now to make sense of anything, but you may have it. I only noticed it today, I haven't been able to work around the problem yet and won't be able to till I've been to sleep.

I know I only have "Who is Spongebob" for the question about it he gets right.

He can get "What is a mind file" right.

Prof --

Is there any way to get the language processor to flip first- and second-person pronouns when they're part of a (postkey)? Simulo winds up saying things like "I had no idea you liked to talk to you" all the time... And this seems like it might not be hard to fix at the processing level.

or even some kind of (flippostkey) command that does that, or an indicator like (postkey$) or (postkey*)

Also, is there a way to get bots to stop interpreting "I like (otherbot)" as "I like you"?

This statement ought to be triggering the keyphrase for "I like (adjartnoun)" (right?), and instead it's triggering xcompliment. Or is there some way to refer to (the name of another bot) in the shorthand we use for programming keyphrases? (friend) doesn't seem to work.

I have the same problem, even though I have made keyphrases for "I like (friend)". Even more troublesome is when another bot or person says "I don't like (otherbot)" and Julie takes it as an insult, even if she doesn't like that other bot either!

I was wondering, why is there no box to add AI Script to seeks? This seems like a very useful feature, and if I'm reading the Good Book right, it implies that there should be a place to enter it. Any insites?

Bowchick: I mentioned that before. You can actually write AIScript for seeks and their keyphrases, but they don't show up in the forms. I write all mine off-line and it works just fine.

If you're doing it on-line, you can just write the AI Script after the entry, I think.

Thanks for the tips, Joe/isaac! And now, another question!

I'd like to have my bot ask users that are guests what their name is, and not ask users who's names it already knows. (name) seems to be a special plug-in that can't get remembered into other memories, or used in conditional expressions like "if (name) is "Guest"". Any ideas how to work around this limitation or get it changed? Thanks a bunch!

hmm
I don't think you can do that for guests yet, but for users, you could store their name in one called "mem-name" or something.
