I still can't get him to use any of the other phrases I have entered. I have started reading the Book of AI, so I hope to get further than just "hello" by tomorrow. If you have any tips and tricks, I would be happy to hear them.

I had to print out the book of AI, it helped to have it with me at all times lol. I am still just getting some things. Don't worry about ai script and conditional phrases, and emotion stuff yet. Just go over beginning bot. It does sink in after a bit.

I've printed out all the chapters and hope to understand what it takes to make my bot work.

I didn't choose an avatar/icon when I signed up because I couldn't make up my mind; I didn't really like any of them. Is it possible to choose one now?

If you e-mail the Professor, he can assign you an icon. There's no way for you to add it in yourself.

I was afraid you would say that

Just wondering: how long does it take for me to change from "newborn" to something else?

It's not a matter of time, but of development. As your bot gets more keyphrases, it advances in rank.

Any idea how many keyphrases I need to have? I have about 10 or so that are not standard, and I am guessing I will get some more by the end of tomorrow.

That would not be nearly enough... be patient

Ok, I'll try, but I wish that creator of mine would hurry up and finish programming me!

It is a job that is never done.
