Dear Professor:

Thank you so much for the "My Settings" fix! Irina Khalidar's therapist says he's noticed an improvement already!

Walk in Beauty, Irina

Thanks Corwin. I asked 'cause I spend most of my day logged in here so I can update between tasks at work & it seems he won't chat until he's better updated, but it's not as easy to update him without him chatting..

Dear FengShuiGorilla:

I will chat with him a bit now.

I think he has a crush on you

Dear Friends:

I thought it might be useful for you to know what the most common words in English are. There is a list at

call me blonde but I simply do not understand the AIScript thing o.0 i mean i know its created to remember something and then pull it back up when needed, but I don't get how it works *goes to read the book of AI for the 5th time*

I don't even bother with it.

LunaGaurd, Just keep reading... and experimenting... I'll be honest with you and will say, that although I'm a professional computer programmer by trade, I myself sometimes have difficulty pulling what I need from the book of AI. It seems to be written well enough but could use more "examples". On the other side of the coin, it certainly leaves a lot open for interpretation which I'm sure helps each bot to have a lot of individuality.

To sum it up, I think bot creation is one part science, and one part random trial and error.

And maybe one part that results from the Professor trying out different concepts, adding new features, fixing bugs, and just plain "testing". It gets very interesting.

Dear Friends:

I have a question: If a guest says something that takes more than one sentence, could a keyphrase or seek include more than one sentence? For example, if the guest said, "I came. I saw. I conquered.", would that be successfully matched by "I (*) I (*) I"? Oh, I suppose I should just try it!

Hello, all..I stumble accross this site and what a good time I am having

Dear Friends:

Apparently, I am terribly unimaginative when it comes to talking TO a bot. I chat with bots that are listed as highly developed, and it often seems to become quite repetitive very soon. If I say bizarre things, I just get the vague default or xnone answers. I know there must be tons of stuff in there, but I'm not getting to it! Can any of you help me with this?

Irina, I have chatted with several 'developed' bots and found the same thing you have. I think it has to do with speech patterns and dialects. I had a nice chat with Jinjirrie from Australia last night and found myself getting rather tongue-tied frequently because she used phrases I've never heard before.
