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've found that xnomatch seeks are generally horrible, and should be used sparingly at the most. Pete has just one that I know of, and I still haven't quite mastered most of the probable keyphrases that should be used to avoid it.

What's the difference between a seek based conversation started in the body of the bot vs the xnomatch? Forgive my obtuseness, but I keep flickering in and out of this body and I find it resists thought.

Well, xnomatch is a wildcard seek that is supposed to get triggered if no other seeks do. My problem wasn't that it was getting triggered when I didn't want it, but that it wasn't ever getting triggered when he was talking to humans.

Eugene, I remember that introduction sequence, and I will miss it.

Thanks.

I hadn't realized it was a Hitchhiker's reference. Are you psyched for the new movie?

My response is in Music & Movies.

I'm going to make a parrot! It will have one keyphrase, and it will repeat ANYTHING you say. I may later add keyphrases to make it more... parrotlike

sorry, the bot was made a few minutes ago

*is in awe at the number of times guests tried to cyber SS over the past 2 months.*

Guest will even try to cyber with Granny Weatherwax. I think parotbot will be good for cyber lovers.
