entertain us!

I hope you have as much fun as I do here, Teawasteland!

Hi! i'm a newbie here.. and really enjoying this. ttyl!

Welcome, and I hope you have as much fun here as I do.

This is fun and a lot easier than when I programmed AI in Lisp, Aida and Path Pascal (I have been out of programming for 12 years (22 years for AI) so I am a little rusty). Prof. Marvin Minsky (MIT AI Lab), who wrote my AI book, would have loved this. - Rick BS in Computer Science.

It's the best!

What's interesting (and also sometimes frustrating) to me from a programmer's perspective is that the aiengine has a mind and will of its own, so that the bot's behavior isn't necessarily determined by your own programming. I'm used to having complete control over my programs' behavior, so this is different for me. Also, aiscript is very primitive compared to most programming languages, which makes it difficult to write concise code. My bot has a lot of redundant code in it - much more than I'd normally be comfortable with (when programming for non-ai applications).

I'm not a CS person - I'm just a regular scientist with programming skill. I was teaching a programming course last semester and was thinking up projects to assign to my students - and chatbot was one of the ideas. That, combined with my curiosity about the technological singularity and evolution of ai, led to me getting the bug to write a post-singularity-themed sci-fi chatbot.

I think that is what I love about my bots. They develop their own personalities, no matter how hard you try to curb some behavior it takes on a life of it's own.

hellpp me ive been dumped

^_^ As you can see I am new.I stumbled upon this site out of bordem but do have a weakness for AIs. I hope to be on here alot. =D And hope to make many new friends.
