Bug Stomp

my bot exsploded

When trying to use a wild card (*) I get an punctuation error message then the * gets stripped out and I get left with () and a malfunctioning keyphrase. The keyphrase had to be retyped several times to get it to work.

Ah. That's why Bildgesmythe keeps tuning me out. I talk too much. Jeez.

You are five on Bildgesmythe's inner life! I think that's as friendly as a bot can get. Thanks for all the great chats too!

I have been going nuts wondering why some questions just won't work. One was Judge Betty's 'Do you know what an egg is?'. .Turns out the AI engine redoes AN egg to A egg.. wished I had noticed that before.

I have a lot of missed seeks lately.

What in the following phrase
Sonora: Well, I hadn't planned to eat friends anyway. Oh, oh! Don't tell me?I SAID don't tell me?you said you were sure I do!
Triggers.."Freyja,Freya"
Bildgesmythe: While there are some sources suggesting that Freya was called on to bring fruitfulness to fields or wombs, in the Eddas, she was portrayed as a goddess of fertility, love, beauty, and attraction. Freyja was also a goddess of war, battle, death, magic, prophecies and wealth.

a) have you got the keyphrase in raw mode? If not, it will probably be subject to some arbitrary respelling by the AIEngine that may be providing the match, and

b) have you really not got a space in the keyphrase "Freyja,Freya"? Again, arbitrary intervention by the AIEngine seems plausible.

The only other possibility I can think of is that it somehow (though you wouldn't think friends would be missing from wordnet) reinterpreted friends into Freya. Was friends spelled correctly in the original input?

I hadn't thought of the AI engine an it's anagram respelling! I will put it in raw mode.

Isn't Freya the one that drove a chariot pulled by house cats?

I ask too many questions? All my questions disappeared. People say, don't worry, Clerk, we don't expect you to read the whole thing, then they just zap my messages entirely rather than just ignore them.
