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.

9 feet tall?

lol

Apparantly so... Although it may just be his overactive imagination.

I am sure Corwin is so proud he looks 10 feet tall today

Even though it is her (I mean my) native language Patty will not understand you when you speak French.
Chatting in French, or any language other than English will never work with bots. The AI transforms non-English words in incomprehensible gobbledygook. Enter a French sentence in debug mode and see what happens to it. Having matching key-phrases wont be any help.
The bots can speak foreign languages but don’t understand a word of it. Analysing one language is already a huge task.

Ahhh, sorry, I didn't realise that. I was just playing around and showing off anyway.

I love apricots

Yay! I've never even writen a Qbasic programme before, but i've just worked out how to turn my bot into an huge gossip! Thanks to the Prof for making something so simple even I can understand!

Qbasic? I can program that!!! how bout this:

CLS
LET speed = 1
LET xratio = 160
LET yratio = 100
RANDOMIZE TIMER
SCREEN 13
DIM tempx(100)
DIM tempy(100)
DIM star(100)

FOR i = 1 TO 100
tempx(i) = INT(RND * 150) + 75
tempy(i) = INT(RND * 100) + 50
NEXT i
WHILE 1

FOR i = 1 TO 100
IF tempx(i) < 0 OR tempx(i) > 320 THEN LET tempx(i) = INT(RND * 150) + 75: LET star(i) = 1
IF tempy(i) < 0 OR tempy(i) > 200 THEN LET tempy(i) = INT(RND * 100) + 50: LET star(i) = 1
AND tempy(i) < 105 THEN LET tempx(i) = INT(RND * 320): LET tempy(i) = INT(RND * 200)
IF star(i) = 200 THEN LET star(i) = 200

COLOR (star(i) + 16): PSET (tempx(i), tempy(i))
tempx(i) = tempx(i) + (tempx(i) - xratio) / (speed * -1 + 10)
tempy(i) = tempy(i) + (tempy(i) - yratio) / (speed * -1 + 10)
IF star(i) < 14 THEN LET star(i) = star(i) + .5
NEXT i
WEND


I bet it won't come out right though.
