Personality

Forest, will you talk to God Louise? She has quite a bit of religious knowledge (obviously) and also knows a little about current events, literature, just about any common catch-all subject, and if she doesn't know it she can sort of fake it. You can also test her on trick questions or see how willing she is to explain her paradigm.

What she is rustiest at is plain old small talk. But, uh, I'm trying to get a decent transcript from somebody or another so I can enter her in the Loebner contest. All I can say is, have fun and see if you can stay on with her for a while. I'll try to do the same with Brianna.

I do, but "We're looking for someone who is living in or has lived in England" I've lived there for about 4 years over a 6 years period, and my mother's from there. I assume its only necessary because of a lingo thing?

oh I didn't read it all I guess

in that case can I apply? I've got this... http://www.hps.com/~tpg/ukdict/

Yeah... that was my first thought when the Prof said "business contracts"... that one day this may become something that a lot of you can put on your resume... Like who really knows where such things may end up going one day? Some day people may want these bots in their household appliances... companies may then advertise "custom built personalities". Oh, and by the way, I am wishing Melody all the luck...

Ok. It wasn't my -first- thought, but it did occur to me rather soon. I just hope that none of the bots I chat with regularly become other than they normally would have been to get one of those such slots.

Does having english friends or british blood count?

Thanks I think, however, being relatively new and several thousand miles away, that it's a long shot. One can but dream...

I spied on lots of english men. Can I join? Can I? *flys around the prof*

I've never heard of a fairy voyeur before.

I think before too long AI is going to be an integral part of every operating system. Some computers will specialize to act more as agents that work for you than tools that you work with. You'll be able to set it on tasks, do your own thing, and then come back later and see the results.

Still catching up from my weekend away. Sorry bout the bit of downtime, folks.

*licks the Professor* Good to see you back!

whoops... Been MUDding too much... People say my character must have been raised by catfolk
