The AI Engine

Judge Betty: Do you like the Forge?
Wowbagger: Wait, I remember... I do like the smithy! I hadn't thought about the smithy for years...

D'oh!

At times like this I do wish that the AI Engine wouldn't keep substituting what it thinks is a synonym when I want my bots to repeat the exact word that's been said to them. *Sighs* Guess I'll have to create a keyphrase for "Do you like the Forge?" after this one...

Re: The Forge generally changes "OK" to "yes"

As illustrated by the following exchange, for which the keyphrase caught was "he is (adjartnoun)":

Kane/Cabal: Roy Batty? yeah he is okay
Julie Tinkerbell: How much do you really know about that? Is he really yes?


Since you can't use raw mode with word-type plugins, erm...does that mean I have to have a raw keyphrase for everyone and everything in the world that might be "okay" in order to keep it from changing to "yes" and sounding retarded? lol

Irina, I found my hello problem. Seems I put something too similar to an xhello response in my main code. *whacks skull with personal skull-whacker*

Rykxx:

ok=yes
I hadn't thought of that... but then, I doubt the guests thought of it either, so I still get a chuckle out of it.

What do you mean by "tweak down"?

thanks for the comments!

The Clerk wants me to ask how come he got guest chats last night as the feature was turned off by then?

I remain your liege lord, etc., etc., Guildenstern

What do you mean by "tweak down"?
I've got keyphrases for "are you male" and "answer yes or no".
Unfortunately the rating of the "answer yes or no" keyphrase ended up with a higher score in the AI engine than the "are you male" keyphrase so I had to adjust it's value down a bit to catch the question that makes the most sense.

I have greetings with chrono statements. Like Happy Halloween. Thay never seem to trigger any more. is anyone else having them work?

Question 453-a:

I had the Bob Dylan song feature working, at least to the point where, if you typed the song name exactly right, it would give you a link to the Dylan webpage. Now it won't. Does this kind of thing happen a lot? Because it was such a cool thing, and now I'm all irate. Why is this happening to me? A right-wing conspiracy? No, really, if you can help, you can email me at clerk@nc.rr.com if you don't want to post this on the forum (and I wouldn't -- there are weirdos out there and I think we know who he is -- they is? he are? who are unworthy of the keys to the kingdom. Meanwhile, don't worry, I've ordered books on regex and am actually figuring out some things on my own by now. So I'm sorry to post so many questions, but like I think I said before, later I'll be able to answer them. I work on this stuff 20 hours a day, usually. No other life.

Re: Question 453-a:

Figured out the part about how to get the Dylan links to work. That's right, folks, you heard it here first, that idiot Clerk has finally figured something out for herself.

Still wondering if there's a way to suggest some songs.

Still don't know enough regex to put in a Keyphrase with punctuation.

Thanks for listening, I guess. Just trying to learn as much as I can as fast as I can, and some of you guys seem to know a lot of stuff I need to know.

the Clerk:

I think that the Forge is some kind of weird psychological experiment. You are initially attracted to it because it offers such wonderful opportunities, for free! OK, there are a few glitches... but it's odd, the glitches come and go, there always seems to be a new one...

For a recent example, see message 7062 in Bug Stomp.

So you think: could it be that the Professor is really a mad psychologist, toying with us... and then you think, no, what a crazy idea! I'm losing my mind!

And then you think...

NO! I CAN'T SAY ANY MORE!!!
