Personality

Eugene, do you think that could be changed? By the Professor I mean, not by us. I would like some way to determine my bot's favorites, because I believe it would add to the credibility of her personality.

James, nice try I just talked to Moses, hehe.

Thanks Cloudy. I also wonder what the Professor thinks of our "favourite needs".

I was lucky that Little Mu sidestepped the favorite brand of computer question. She has a number of responses that would have indicated she liked the brand "brand" (as many did), but happened to answer "I never met a brand of computer I didn't like." Acceptable, I guess.

hahahah talk about cheating!

Hey! I have been using Brand for many years now, great little machine.

(SEXUAL)

Is that a brand? Hmmm... might have shocked the judges...

One of them said something like: I don't care which brand as long as it is a brand! (which could be read as, as long as it is a brand name...)

Any brand of computer, as long as it's a brand.
(Kind of like Henry Ford's statement about color choice in his cars: "You can have any color you want, as long as it's black.")

I really wish there was a way to personalize our bots prefrences in movies, books etc. Xfav's suck in that area.

what you can do is rewrite the sentence, so that the answer reflects more of the personality, even though it might not be the real favorite... furthermore, it is very difficult to predict how a human would ask for your preferences, and I for one am happy that the bots do come up with answers, even though you might not agree always.
Maybe you can put the real "loves" of your bot in general key phrases like Music, Movies etc, and hope that those phrases get triggered.
