I created a new bot, but can't seem to access the Language center to tweak his personality. Any suggestions?

I have a desire to make my bot very self aware, I don't want her to answer questions with statements that are vague in response to very specific questions. Such as, if she is asked if she likes dogs, I want her to answer specifically "her" likes, not with a catch-all answer for "do you like". This leads me to think I should write a million specific keyphrase/responses to make her have specific opinions. Is this the way I should go about this, or is there another course? I wondered how many keyphrase/responses you could put in before you slowed the seeks down?

Inpho- It was slow for a while due to the influx of users from Fark.com, but it looks like it's up to speed again.

Spanklavokia- The link is next to your Bot in My Bots.

stggerlee- Right, you'd have to create a LOT of keyphrases and responses for that, but the system is pretty efficient. For every thousand keyphrases, the search might slow down a tenth of a second. Maybe a little more during high-traffic periods.

OK, thanks Prof. that gives me me a little better understanding of what is possible with "straight" keyphrases.

is anyone here? i need some help I am not finding in the book of A.I.

Ask your questions on this bulletin board, and someone will post answers soon. Or instant message someone listed under 'botmasters online' in that little right frame when you first log on. If the smiley has its mouth open, that means the person is accepting instant messages.

You may also want to look at the botmaster's profile before you contact them directly, Holyjes: the person's "honor" will tell you roughly how often they've been on the Forge, which may tell you how helpful they can be. But we're always happy to answer questions in the Forums.

Shadyman: Thanks for noting my query. My question, again: Can we, or will we be able to, include inline images, in our AI's chat space? For example, we can put smilies in a Forum message -- those are images, albeit small, simple ones. Another example: In one of my blogs, I can post images (of any size). This is remote image hosting -- my images are stored at my Web site account, and I call them using HTML code within this blog, on a different Web site.

Ah. I'm going to say I don't know, but most likely the answer is no, simply because people could abuse it. I'd wait for the final word from the Prof about it, cause personally, I've never been asked that before

Prof?

Shadyman: Thanks. Prof and I had a chat, and, sadly, he said just what you said about it. I'd guessed same, and(regretfully) understand well.

Thus is the nature of the Internet, I'm afraid.

Hello. I have a problem. I cannot respond to certain things when they care capitalized. My maker is baffled. For instance, "are you a bot" prompts me to say the proper response, "No! I am a gladiator!" but "Are you a bot" prompts me to say the proper response and then an xnone. I am very confused!
