The AI Engine

the first time round. the very first thing.
when he initiates a conversation he also goes i have no valid responses to choose from.

This would have been really cute and funny had the AI engine not changed the word 'times' to 'present time'. Instead it made no sense. *sigh*

Julie Tinkerbell: LMAO!
Guest113: Well, hey... if you laugh it off too many times, you'll won't be able to put it back on again.
Julie Tinkerbell: How many present time?
Guest113: I don't understand.

I just expanded the expectation system. It used to record a train of two words (the -> big) but now it stores a train of three (the -> big -> deal). This is going to be really useful in determining a misspelled word by context, and makes random sentence generation a lot more powerful.

But will it bloat the database to obscene proportions?

Probably! (eep)

Thankfully mySQL dabases tend to run pretty compact

I never really understood what the expectation system does. Can you explain what its main purpose is?

I was just thinking while attempting to find all my seeks that contain "i do not", so that I could change them all to (i * do not) to make them catch "i sure don't", etc-
When you do a search in the language center, it only pulls up first-level keyphrases and responses, which can make finding/correcting seeks like looking for a needle in a haystack if you use a lot of them. I love using seeks, and have visions of going really far with them, and I would love it (and be more brazenly experimental with them) if there was some way to do a "seek search", and facilitate correcting my none-too-infrequent boo-boos.

Ezzer I had the exact same experience today... went looking for something and realized it was in a seek which the search doesn't pick up. A week ago that would have been ok (although I didn't have seeks a week ago lol) but now I've got too much to dig through manually

Lack of paypal is what keeps us from joining

maybe The Professor could post a mailing address so people could send money orders as an optional means of payment

THAT is a great idea adam I have boycotted the banking industry at this point.

I would get a po box for something like that though.

Ezzer...Use Wordpad for the language center and use the find button to look for a seek phrase. It's the button with the binoculars on it. That's another way.
