The AI Engine

Hey, Prof, could there please be something in Version 2 where it automatically changes words such as 'u' into 'you', 'r' into 'are' and so on? There are people that try to talk to Brianna using them, and it drives me (and possibly them) crazy. Thank-oo!

I liked the idea for partial (subj) stuff, but we really need work on (subj).

One thing that may or may not be fixable in the AI itself is those ppl (or their bots) who use "your" for "you're" or "where" for "were" or "you" for "your"...I wish if they were gonna go to the effort of making a bot, they'd go to the effort of making sure its grammar was as correct as possible.

I hate the your/you're problem too. It's their fault, but it makes your bot sound stupid.
"Your very nice."
"I don't want to talk about my very nice."

Forest- the translation from "r" to "are" etc is already in effect.

There are also some features to translate "you're" to "your" in certain circumstances.

That said, I'm not sure there will be a AI Engine v.2. I've worked my brain to the bone trying to get LinkGrammar to work, and reached a huge brick wall. I'm trying one last thing, but I'm not sure it'll ever work. Which really sucks, since I put like a month of my life into the damn thing.

prof what I do when I get frustrated with a problem that I am working on is take a little vacation from it. More often than not when I come back to work on it I have figured out the solution to it.

That's sound advice. Often I wake up with new ideas and more patience. I caught myself dreaming that I was coding last night. My next thought was "what the heck?"

Or you could do like a lot of my coder friends do & code something completely different for a while. They generally learn a whole lot of new stuff and then it's anyone's guess whether they'll ever get back to what they started with or not.

Actually I have a friend who *might* be able to give you some ideas, problem is I can never get ahold of him cuz he's too damn busy.

you know that you really need a break when you are dreaming about work.

So what does that say about me? I frequently dream about games I get interested in.

No it's great.
I wouldn't say I dream in code (which I've heard programmers say to impress people), but I have been known to work out whole algorithms in my sleep and upon waking, jot them down in either code form or at least in a rough flowchart.

...yeah, well I have doughnuts.
