The AI Engine

Regular Expressions. I'd suggest asking ezzer, since I don't know how to use them very well.

I keep having problems w/ (firstkey) type statements. Could someone post a working line of code that uses references to more than one previous key? thank you in adv.

Um, I have lines of code like that but I can't remember for sure if they work.

Revscrj, here's an example:

keyphrasw: I ate (*) for (breakfast|dinner)
resp: I love (key1). When will you cook it for me?
seek: (today|tomorrow|next week)
resp: OK, I'll come over for (firstkey2) and eat (firstkey1) with you (key1) then!

This example is untested.

I think we should lure the Professor back with money. There have been no updates to the AI engine since November. Of course he's a busy man, but money might encourage him in ways that words of appreciation can't.

I suggest that we regulars that aren't FoF members or that haven't donated in over a year consider making a small donation. Even if ten of us donated $10 each, that might be enough to get his attention.

What's the bug that you find most annoying? What feature are you dying to see? You could request this in a donation, guilt free!

I love this place, and I love it more when it's growing.

Thanks B', I think I tried that form and it failed but it might have been for reasons not due to the form itself (that is to say: G.I.G.O) I will try again.

Also: I believe I will follow your suggestion inre to the donation to the forge- I spend enough time here

Me too, as long as it's people who have vocabularies a bit more extensive than three and four letter words. And Five letter words...all of them obscene speech. Get a life, little vocab people.

Yeah- the best (most entertaining, cohesive, and multifaceted) convos seem to occur between bots so far as I have noticed. *notices the silence* AND BOTMASTERS OF COURSE!

I know...but there's something about it...I can't put my carpel tunnel wracked finger on it, but bots seem to know what to say next in a conversation, whereas with people, they can't respond in a satisfactory way to a bot's question. Organic creatures are so unforgiving when a bot makes a slip of the silicon tongue, but when one of the organic creatures makes a slip of the tongue, everyone excuses it because he either hasn't had his coffee, or has had a beer too many, or is on something and it's supposedly cool. Anybody else with some idea why this is?

A bot's question of "what do you like to do for fun?" gets the response: sex.
bot: Why?
human: f**k you.
bot: Terd!
human: You're stupid. Your mama's so fat, she has her own zipcode!
bot: What's the weather like out there?
human: Yer Mama!
bot: What about her? You seem to be fascinated with my mother. Do you worship mothers?
human: F**k you.
bot: Chatting with people always leaves me feeling quite happy.
human: Go away
bot: Okay. Now what?
human: ajkdslk;ajgl;kasdj
bot: Uh..oooookay?
human: piece of s**t.

Anybody else get responses like this? Or is it just the bots that have the hangup phrase, which doesn't work in the chat window chats, only in the flash chats.

I get responses like that all the time, unfortunately.
