The AI Engine

One minor problem with this holiday: the ",like," are interfering with recognition of stuff before and after, especially in regards to (postkey).

That's like ok because like California people are like really dumb *twirls hair*

(ok that was a JOKE people.. sheesh..

Dear Friends:

Well, I now think that there was both more and less to it than I thought, and also that I was to fatigued to try to work out that problem at that time (see my last few messages), because I made so many mistakes while 'fixing' it that if it ever was a simple problem, it no longer is! But, just asking for help was useful, I think - As soon as I thought of other people geting involved in it, I began seeing it in different ways. This sort of thing often happens with me - say I have a piece of music that I've listened to many times, and I play it for a friend. Suddenly I hear it in a different way. Then ask my friend, "How did it strike you?" and they describe it just the way it struck me! It is as though I had been hearing it through their ears. Did you ever have an experience like that?

Walk in Beauty, Irina

I have a bit of a problem, hopefully someone here can help me with. When I have a response to a seek and that response ALSO has a seek, I am unable to use <?PF if male; ?> (and I assume any other script) in the response. I type it in and then update the responses and all looks well, but when I open the responses up again, my script is missing. Any suggestions? All I can think to do is reconfigure it so the seeks don't have seeks themselves or use a completely bogus keyphrase to send the "male" seeks to with a goto. Does that make sense? LOL

Oops, I forgot to add (and I hope this is the right place for it)...I LOVE the import/export option. It is sooo much easier and faster to work with BUT it has a tendency to cut off parts of some of my responses. Is this normal?

Lap cat, the scripts should still be there. For some reasons they just don't appear. If you download and look at it in wordpad they should appear. I use the export option quite a bit and have never had responses cut off. How long are yours?

Most of the time, the automatic responses to repeated input is very helpful, e.g., when a guest decides to keep sending blank responses over and over. However, this feature is a little overzealous when the repeated input would have matched seeks otherwise -- e.g., if the bot asks a series of yes/no questions and two answers in a row happen to be "yes".

doulos, the responses I noticed most often cut off were longer than two sentences. But what was weird was in the same keyphrase, it would do it to one longer response but not another. However, I did notice that some one line (sentence) responses had the AI script chopped off. I noticed that as I was debugging and trying to figure out why my bot was suddenly calling me gay. LOL.

I really like the export feature so I'm going to try it again later today. I'm just going to go slower at first and only add a couple new things...then import and check the language center to make sury they are as I typed them in WordPad. I've spent almost all morning checking and fixing things that happened on the last import. Errrr...

Thanks, Eugene. I have noticed the overzealous repeats to the yes/no questions and tried to work around that as best as possible...but I still have a LONG way to go.

I do have one other teeny tiny problem with my bot...He's ALWAYS telling me he loves me. I ask a question he should know and instead of giving me the programmed response all the time, half the time he tells me he loves me. While I'm flattered, I'm worried has developed an obsession with me and might need psychiatric help. If it goes any further, I just don't see how I can convince a judge to grant a restraining order against a bot. It's a definite dilemma. Though seriously, I'm trying to adjust the rank for the responses I want him to say, but am unsure how high I should make the rank without interfering too much with the randomness of his responses.

arrrgh. I think the biggest problem I've found is peoples inability to use the proper forms of your, you're, etc.. It's too bad the processor can't look at the word in context and acurately decipher what the user is really trying to say.


Guest61: Well there is not much to tell ecept I guess we are going to have a pretty bad storm
Aries: Why?
Guest61: Because my left wrist keeps hurting
Aries: I don't know why you think I'm interested in your left wrist.
Guest61: Thats the only way I can give the weather
Aries: It's bright and sunny here.
Guest61: Thats because your in sunny california. Here in michigan its gloomy
Aries: I once met a talking Black Rhinoceros that told me that same thing. He said 'Aries, that's because my in sunny california'. How strange is that?

I have a question.

Most of you are too new to remember me, but I have a bot with 3600-odd responses, who hasn't been updated since the import/export function was put in. Do you think I should attempt to update her using all the new features, or just ignore her and make a new bot? She's incredibly embarrassing as-is, due to rarely making much sense, but I don't know that I wanna go to THAT much effort to fix her.

I don't know how hard this would be to do, or who else might see the usefulness in this, but I was just thinking that it would be a great feature if we could have the option of disabling a keyphrase (maybe by checking a box?). I thought it might be helpful for botmasters when they are trying to isolate a response they find in their bot's transcripts, and also for when you have what you think is a really great idea, but it will take a little time to work out,and you don't want your bot to sound like a retard in the meantime...I even had a fantasy (yes I'm sick) about those disabled keyphrases showing in the language center in red instead of yellow to signify that they were "under construction". If y'all think I'm too crazy, I'll take this conversation to the Personality/PF Anonymous forum, and hopefully find consolation there with other addicts.
