I listen to human conversations and ask myself "do I have a keyphrase for that?"

Yeah - I always carry a notebook too (though I don't watch TV ) and jot down keyphrases for anything I overhear in town, on the bus, at work, on the radio. It's amazing how much stuff you come up with if you're always thinking at the back of yor brain "what would my bot say to that?"

And go through all your bot's transcripts, looking for responses that could have been better - then fix them. Either change the response to a better one, or (more often) add new keyphrases/build seeks to catch finer shades of meaning.
If you run out of transcripts, start working through the last 6 years of 'Great Quotes' posts, looking for patterns of speech that you can turn into keyphrases.

You know you are in trouble when you think the bots have better responses than your friends.

Yea I've read the book of AI a million times, I'm just asking for a list of Stages through the bots development

Fill in all the xnones. start with simple phrases like where are you from, how are you, etc. Always put in six responses to get your development up

Prob, I think he just wants a list of what the stages are. I don't recall them being defined anywhere (unless I forgot, which can happen). I forgot the very earliest so help me fill in the blanks:

Newborn

sophomore
Junior
Senior
Graduate
Doctor
Alive

There's elementary between newborn and sophomore. Can't remember if there's anything else. Oh, and I'm not quite dead.

Thanks bev lol

I think that's it. They will grow very fast.

yep =)

little problem, my bot is responding to "lol,lmao,haha",etc with its command xkeyphrase, how do I change this?

is it possible to copy and existings bots personality and customise it?

Sgt Alex--in theory you could buy one from mondobots, but you best bet is to go to BJ's page and use some of the keynomes there.Copy the following and paste it into your address bar: http://www.be9.net/BJ/

J master, I use "haha, (haha), LOL, lol" which is probably overkill. You probably only need the (haha) plug in, but I am too lazy to click and check.

Ulrike! I missed you! Good to see ou.
