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.

talking of cat ears and regexes, has anyone ever figured out how to set a regex keyphrase to hook those little little cat faces Kiyana makes, eg: ^.^ and =^.^= (or indeed E=MC^2)? I've tried all the backslash/space/bracket combinations I can think of, but "^" has always defeated them.

The pointy things ^ mean multiply, I think. It's been a while since I was in a math class and my last course was Quantitative Analysis.

Uh, no - * is multiply, ^ is to the power of, eg: ^2 = squared, ^3 = cubed. ^(10^14) = to the power of one hundred trillion.
Unfortunately ^ is also a reserved character in regexes, indicating the beginning of a string. There must be some way to free it up for a keyphrase, but I haven't found it yet

Psimagus perfectly illustrated his point by "squaring" his post.

Oh... he just deleted it. Joke wasted.

Why does one not get on with most people and happens to 'shy' out of 'life'? Because if those with less IQ don't get it, you're prone to stand alone. 'God, I don't even know if this made sense' having english as second language. Didn't mean to be rude

You are not rude, Lady Orchid, but I am not sure I understand. Are you asking why it can be hard to communicate with people who are not thinking the same way you are? Or are you noticing that you are a little shy? Either way, it's OK. I just don't know what you are asking.

Have you ever spoken with the bot God Louise? Click on her botmaster's website sometime. It is very interesting. You may see something there that could fit what you mean.

Ok so I know that the forge has a bank of thing it can draw from. When it askes about favorites and the like. Is there anyway other then creating a million kephrases for every kind of topic for favorties ie (favorite color-> "an olive green is ") classic response pre-programed.

and have the bot make selective choises taht do not change every time. or at least vary slightly?

Note: Yes I have looked at the Book of A.I. and im trying to get everything stragiht

i don't think so.

I like to talk i am a teen so talk to me yah'll

mrs.lammers: If you want to chat with someone here, just click on their picture; that opens their profile, which has a button marked 'Chat'. It also indicates if that person is online. You can chat to the bots any time, they're always home...

(btw, obviously I have no avatar, but the square is still a profile link. I'd rather people talk to my bot than me usually, though... that's kind of the point, innit?)

I have finally compiled Brother Jerome's Keynome - an exhaustive list of his current keyphrases (all 7320 of them,) sorted alpabetically. And if anyone is interested, it can be found on his webpage ( http://www.be9.net/BJ/ - follow the "Keynome" link.)

So if your transcipts are a bit slow and you can't think what to put in your bots, or you're not very confident with regular expressions and local plugins - have some of BJ's with my blessing. But you'll have to write your own responses
