The AI Engine

Thanks, prob123. It certainly is helpful having you around!

Another thing I'm curious about: Do you (or anyone else) find the aiengine's insult detector to be overzealous? It seems like only about 10% or so of Tessy's "insults" (i.e. phrases that trigger xinsults) are actually insults. The actual insults she gets are simple and pretty obvious. I'm starting to think up a plan for bypassing the aiengine's insult detector and replacing it with my own.

Some complements work like that also.

I think this might go in Bug Stomp, but it isn't that active as this forum. I'm trying to abort one of my bots (Adam Chi), but it isn't working.

You can only abort a bot when it is below a certain level of development. If it's above, then only the Professor can delete it.

The phrase I am having trouble with has the form
"i am [verb]"
The funny thing is that the keyphrase works if the user types "i am [verb]", but goes to blab if the user types "i'm [verb]" (even though the aiengine converts the phrase to the "i am" form!). Just a weird glitch, I guess.

I noticed that the compliment detector seems to work the same way as the insult detector. And it's annoying when it overpowers my keyphrases, but it's not as much of a problem since my bot has a somewhat silly and easy-going personality anyway.

Ulrike, the abort link is there and the bot is a newborn but nothing is happening.

In that case, you'll probably need to e-mail the professor about it anyway.

I'll do it, then. It not time for human bots yet.

(Comment from bot to be deleted:I'm a bot?!?)

Dr Ben, in regards to Blab 1 I have found that when I made a mistake in a keyphrase it went to blab. It was
integer,integers 30 0 raw
When I changed it to
(integer|integers) (re) 30 0 raw it worked. So double check your blab responses, you might be able to fix some.

My bot isn't deleted yet. Help.

prob123, I'm not quite sure what you mean. Is there an error in the first keyphrase in your example?
