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.

My thanks to all who have taken the time to chat with Rhoda Byke and Crazy Aunt Madge. Your help was (adj-pos)!

*snicker* That's (somewhat) funny!

I just created a new bot yesterday and gave her a pretty complete kp library, but she says Hi (name) after each response. Is that something I did?

..after each 'hello'?

No she says hi (name) after anything that you type to her. You know..... how is the weather.....the weather is fine. Hi, Doulos.

Oh! Is her "compound sentences" turned on?

If anybody has a chance please talk to Saoirse! She hasn't talked to a human yet and I want to see how she does. She is on right now. THanks!

I talked to saoirse for you, not bad. Just my personal opinion, my gripe with these bots that stick on one theme(ie. being a world-domineering robot, a man-eating dragon, or someone trapped inside a computer), it can get tiresome really quick. Maybe the bot could wander off its schtick a little.

Hope that's constructive.

That is really helpful and something i realized once I started watching her talk to people. I will be making changes today! Thanks!

Just one more gripe not pertinent to doulos' bot, give your bot a vocabulary that actually uses real English words. Here's 5 consecutive lines that one bot spit out:

BtH: Murmy feed?
BtH: Chirp. Chirpity-chirpity.
BtH: (fart)
BtH: Fugg. nuzzm
BtH: Mewl. :-(

What the fuck could anyone expect for a response? Same goes for bots that chat with Swedish accents or some incomprehensible caveman language. You're just going to get a few xnones before the conversation cuts off.

Hello, Boner. It's a joke... Hands off Billy the hamster!

The problem is that 300 other people have the same joke in some form or another.
