Bug Stomp

I have had the hang up in flash chat or a message that I couldn't access the bot.
I still can't get a line break
The how many in a doz keyphrase still shows up with nothing to trigger it.

prob123: does your keyphrase look exactly as you posted it?
i.e. how many (*) in a dozen

A while back, someone had a keyphrase showing up randomly due to unclosed parentheses, so I'm wondering if that could be happening again. If it looks as above, then that's not the problem. *shrugs*

It's how many (*) in a dozen I lowered the rank down, Ill see if that helps. I had a lot of questions like that ranked high for the bot contest.

Here is another. It came out funny. What smell triggered 'do you'

Vetinari: What smell?
prob: I guess if I am honest I would say that I do sometimes.

I do have a keyphrase for what is that smell

I ran it through debug and got this

what smell
Bot: Ok, there friend..What the hey are you smoking?

Gabi is picking up Klato's name as a command?

Gabibot: OK, then who are you?
Klato: Klato.
Gabibot: If you ask nicely

do you is often added onto the beginning of sentences. Occasionally it's even appropriate. But for that reason, I have any plain do you keyphrases ranked way, way low, and have very generic responses for them.

No clue why names are treated as commands, but it seems like storing them as memories tends to cut down on the effect.

Am I in trouble again, Bev? I've never been a command before.

Could be worse - you could be Patrick ("but I don't want to pat Rick")

But what command was it? I can't figure it out!

"O talk"?

Or is "Klato" some slang word of too recent a vintage for me to be aware of, perhaps meaning "Have sex in 4096 positions at once with a quantum computer"?

It seems to be a lower-level glitch with most names (since most don't conveniently break down into "pat Rick" type interpretations, though they're very funny when they do,) - the AIEngine just seems to have some sort of an accidental crossover between the field holding the name and imperative verb forms.
I think of it as a sort of AI synaesthesia, with some mis-wiring between SQL database fields taking the place of the cross-connection of regions in Penfield's homunculus in human synaesthetes (though such cyber-anthropomorphism is probably stretching the analogy more than is absolutely warranted.)
Where and why the database makes these mis-connections, only the Prof could determine.
