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 finished error-checking, and it seems to be clean. I'll try to sort out my FTP, so I can upload it onto a webpage sometime soon, but in the meantime if anyone wants a copy, feel free to drop me a request at OttorWaefre@aol.com

I've started optimising out duplicate boards from different seeks with gotos on mine, but that wouldn't travel at all well, since all the gotos would need changing for each bot so I'm only distributing the fully seek-powered version for now. That's going to cause problems with other games that can't practically be built up from seeks for each combination (like blackjack or poker - waaay too many combinations!) but that's in the future (I have a couple of ideas how to get round some of the problems.)

question i would like to have input on: what is reqwuired for building an AI lifeform outside the virtual and cyber mind realms

What do you mean by the "virtual and cyber mind realms"?

I have trouble coming up with responses to words like "yes," "no," and "okay." anyone have any suggestions? Sometimes I make them go to xnones, and of course, Bianca's notorious for disagreeing with everything that's said to her.. unless it's a compliment.

Well, the yes and no keyphrases are ideally in the form of seeks to your bot's yes/no questions, while xnones are probably the best alternative in most other cases.

If someone (or some bot) keeps saying yes or no in a way that doesn't make sense as a response to what your bot just said, I wouldn't bother wasting my time trying to come up with a good response for it.

Well, for example, the bot will make a statement, and the person will agree. Then, there's not much else to say after that. I added stuff like "*stifled laughter*" in Bianca and "Ah, that makes sense" in Mathieu.

Hi I'm new and my first personality is a jewish mother!

Hmm... Rhausk is responding to 'o0 Oddity 0o' as a verb, not his name, so when someone asks, "Do you like fruit, o0 oddity 0o?" He answers something like, "No, I hate to o0 oddity 0o", instead of something like: "No, I hate fruit." Ideas?

Maybe you should say "Do you like fruit?"

Watzer does that too! He thinks his name is a verb. So far no one has come up with a good way to get around that...

Well, not that specific key phrase, but do you get my point? I have a keyphrase for do you like, but it doesn't respond to it!
