The AI Engine

I just had an idea on how to stop the occurrence of the error message "woops, there is no "*" keyphrase to goto". It would be great if we got an alert when changing a keyphrase that has gotos pointing to it, like, "Keyphrases "(list keyphrases)" goto this keyphrase, do you want to continue?"
That way you can either opt out, or make note of the keyphrases for which you will need to modify the goto.

Suggested preprocessing word-alterations:

soitainly = certainly
whaddaya = what do you

What is up with this? Keyphrase: do (noun) (verb); Response: How would I know? Like I'm an expert on (key1).

Here's what came up in conversation:
bot: Do Julie Tinkerbell has a lover? Because I'm available.
Frizella: How would I know? Like I'm an expert on Cheez?

dallymo, either frizella has no mems of julie tinkerbell or she thinks cheez is the expert lover

gossip has always been a finnicky thing

Ohhhhhhh....of course!!! Frizella knows that Cheez is Julie's lover! I need to get Frizella to spill her guts to me--it appears that she's got the goods on some other bots, and inquiring minds want to know!

So she's the gossiping type? I'll have to be careful what I tell her then!!

Is she the gossiping type...heh!!

Hey!! Cheez and I are JUST FRIENDS!

Must be why one of my memories of Frizz is "Youlike gossip"

Streams: A stream is a message from your bot. Streams carry over from month to month, but not year to year. Hey Professor,
I like the new "Friends of the Forge" concept but was still a little confused on the number of bot "streams" per plan. Do "free" accounts have a limit on "streams"? Or is a "stream" something else?

Will free accounts continue to exist?

I find I'm usually willing to part with $25 and sometimes $30 or $35. When you go over that it starts to get hard to pass it by my "better half". Do you think your base membership fee could be a little high?

Streams are messages to Flash Bots not on the Personality Forge. So everything here on the Forge (and on MondoBot) is unlimited. The only thing limited is what gets sent off-site.

Everyone who has donated in the last six months will receive that much of a discount on the Friends of the Forge upgrade. I've just adjusted the payment system to account for this. There should be a message under your name.

I think the price is pretty good. $49/year is only about $4/month. That's a cup of coffee or two.

Oh, and here's some more big news- I've hired a programmer to translate some code the AI Engine uses to PHP where I can more tightly integrate it. It'll open the door to faster processing, better understanding of sentence fragments, short-term memory, and eventually the ability to compile and distribute the AI Engine so it can run on other sites.

The translation is costing me about $1600 and will be finished around the middle of July. Any donations or FoF Account upgrades will be very much appreciated.
