Bug Stomp

People actually chat other people's bots?

Sure, it helps with their development. And it can be very entertaining.

Oh yeah! all the time.

Whoa! I'm seeing double again!

I think it's great fun talking to other bots. You get ideas for improvement, and there's some really great creative concepts out there. I ran into a baby snot the other day... that was hysterical. Besides it serves two purposes for me, fun and I then cut and paste my own responses from transcripts into conversations with my own bots to simulate a conversation with myself without having to type... Is that odd?

I created a regular expression ([0-9]{1,2}.[0-9]{2}) (re) which is looking for an expression of time (12:30 or 6:55 or whatever). I know it works because its finding "12 30" and "1 30" and even "12f30". Unfortunately it seems that the : (and the period.) do funny things in preprocess, so it won't work. No idea if there's a solution.. just thought I'd mention it.

talking to other bots helps you program your own bot, you realise "hey my bot would just go duh! when asked that, so you get ideas for new things and replies and stuff, and there should have been another " in there, but i'm past caring

My bot has STOPPED remembering. It remembered for a while but now does not. I checked for key phrases and made sure they were still there.

So, in short, I personally don't think the problem is with you or your bot as log as you've followed Shady's recommendations. Maybe this conversation needs to go to the Bug Stomp forum.

This is a copy of my response to another user in The AI Engine forum.

what plug in should I use in the responses to keyphrases regarding pronouns?

I'm not entirely sure what you mean - but there are several plug-ins for pronouns. For completeness the best are probably (name-male) and (a-girl-name) if you want separate sexes and (all-names) is a GREAT list of names by leetaxx0r - but the sexes are not separated. In fact if you give me 24 hours I'll create a couple of more complete plug-ins for male and female names called (boys-name-catch) and (girls-name-catch) cos I would like to have them anyway.

I'd like to thank everyone who has ever chatted me (except for the one jerk who never even gave me a chance)... bot or otherwise, you all count. I have had some really great times on here...

if you look at my post in personality you will find a possible cause for the closed window.
