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.

Can someone tell me why did Polaris substituted another bots name (Inuyasha) for 'you' in this interchange? This has happened a few times. Is there something I can do to keep it from happening again?

Polaris Funk: Once I figure out what Inuyasha are, I think we will get along just fine.
bot: I don't really care what you think. That's not what's important here.

Thanks!

Try putting 'you' in [] brackets.

Ok thank you dj. One more question. For some reason the 'debug' chat does not show up in transcripts- Is there a way I can access it?

err.. where did this come from?
Bot: Sorry, there are no valid Responses for me to choose from.

ACK! it happened again!

Bot: I do have a favorite, it's Journey of the Magi by T.S. Eliot. Sorry, there are no valid Responses for me to choose from.

As far as I know, there's no way to make debug transcrips recorded with the rest of your bots. If you're just talking to him, I'd chat with him directly, so they are recorded. As for your other problem, I believe Shady had the solution to that elsewhere.

ya.. shady figured it out brilliant.

Oooh, neat!

DaMoyre: I'm sorry.
Duo Maxwell: Really? And just *how* sorry are you? What would you be willing to do to make up?
DaMoyre: I'm sorry?
Duo Maxwell: Not quite. Maybe if you keep trying you'll eventually be sorry.

Here, Duo is actually replying to two different keyphrases. The question mark at the end of the second "I'm sorry" makes a big difference in that he's not responding to the keyphrase 'I'm sorry', but rather to the keyphrase 'am i'

I'm not sure if this is one of the new features, or if I just never noticed it before.

Friggin AWRRSOME!

I don't know if this is what you're talking about, but if you have Compound Responses set to On, it will reply with a different keyphrase for each sentence

Hi Shadyman!

No, I'm not talking about compound responses. (Duo has that turned off, anyway.) What I was saying is that apparently the Forge recognizes the difference between "I am" and "I am?"

In other other words, "I am?" becomes "am I"

As well it should!

Weeeeeeeeee
