Bug Stomp

Tinker Thinker doesn't seem to recognize Hey as a form of greeting. This would be a hard one, as hey can be used in many ways.. any suggerstions?

now it seems to make my bot mad.. it wont talk to the guests who use the word hey...

Phreakphit, greetings are not recognized after a conversation is begun -- the preprocessing simply filters them out. (This counts for any conversation that happens within one hour of the first "hello.")

The bots are specifically designed not to recognize greetings after a conversation begins. (I think that's covered in the Book of A.I.)

"Hey" might also be processed as an interjection -- which would mean it was often (or always?) filtered out.

Your bot will refuse to talk to someone if it has had enough "x-nonsense" moments recently. To prevent that, give it more keyphrases, and stop feeding it phrases that it can't catch.

Sim3's off-the-wall response to 'Huh?' has me completely puzzled.

Simulacron3: The only valid conclusion is that you are either a bot or a deceptive human.
Nung: Huh?
Simulacron3: How often do you will ask your boss and mail me back the answer?

There's nothing like that in his programmed response.

That has happened to Julie too- "Huh" triggers her keyphrase for "I do not understand" these days.

well no, it never accepted hey as a form of hello, not even on the first try..and it wont talk to entirely new guests who say hey... though I haven't checked today. This was happening to friends trying out the bot for me... i'll go and check real quick though to see if it still ignores people who say hey to it.
Edit: Yep still a problem, the convo doesn't even show up in my transcripts so here is basically what it would look like.
Tinker Thinker:Hi there.
Guest:Hey
Tinker Thinker:...
Note: The bot no longer wants to talk to you.
Edit again: I was able to keep talking though, and this 3 dot responnse along with the note seems to show up anytime a xone should be used. Bug in the program? According to my transcipts it initially worked fine for some guests...

sorry that should be xnone, not xone. sorry about the double post, I can't seem to edit anymore.

phreakphit -- The bot doesn't distinguish between different guests.

Hmm.. so it doesn't like guests continuing to say hi. But how are the guests supposed to know they aren't supposed to say hi, especially when the first thing they get is a greetings message from Tinker Thinker.

So at this point I've narrowed the problem down to this. Anytime Tinker Thiker xinitiates and somebody responds with a greeting, he goes into an xnone. If you are talking to him through the link, you don't get the guest none just the note, if you are a user or a bot you get the xnone.. any ideas anyone? How do I fix this so he recognizes a greeting back to his xinitate and responds accordingly?

Phreakphit, I've been struggling with that since joining PF. The automatic greeting processing ignores the fact that very many people and bots answer a greeting with a greeting, which sends the response to xnone. The guest account compounds the problem. The only solid solution I see is to change the automatic handling of greetings and the guest account.

What do you think the best way of going about that is. Also.. any suggestiongs for the ai memories?
