Colonel--how is Ally now?
it's doing great. the bot turned out to be the initiation of a huage personal AI project. right now, i have a prototype bot named ANNA, who works on the same fundamenatals as ALLY, but instead of forming sentences through random contextually correct words, ANNA only uses words that are linked to the input AND output, and uses the word of the highest value. Building on that, CARL is uses ANNA's polygamous association engine, and also has an algorithm to optimize sentence segments, and update them accordingly with each input. those segments are then used to form a response rather than individual words.
On the side, I am working on two other components - one is a probabilistic grammar engine that infers a word type ( noun, adj, verb, conjunction, interjection, adverb...) based on likely outcomes of certain situations - for instance: if a word is followed by a will/will not, and the word is known to be a noun, then the word after will/will not is most likely to be a verb. if a verb comes after a will/will not, the word before is most likely to be a noun
this engine also records equalities and inequalities: if the statement "a tree is wood" an equality will be recorded between a tree and wood. if i say "a tree is not wood", an inequality is recorded. this is to be used for logical deduction in question answering, and some possible data mining. as for catagorization, i plan to build a deeper catagorization for words that are type identified: for instance, a noun must be classified as a person, place, and thing. a thing must be classified as a tangible or intangible object.. a tangible object must be classified as a solid, liquid, or gas... with this i hope to let the AI build itself a CYCORP-like classification database.
the second component is, robotics. i have descovered an object oriented robotic microcontroller called the OOPic. (www.OOPic.com) this chip can be programmed in VB, C++, or Java. i am going through a curriculum that covers reflexive behaviors, sensory data processing, and advanced things like obstacle avoidance and distance measuring.

Let me know when I can buy one.
lol - i'm sure MIT or some korean or japanese company will develop and market a fully functional robot way before me. speaking of asian robots, has anyone read about Repilee? she is a robot that looks, moves, and reacts like a human. picture: http://robots.engadget.com/2005/06/11/kicking-it-in-the-uncanny-valley/

How can I get JohnMark to automatically calculate how many days till his birthday
Well, it shouldn't be too difficult, but it might be a little ambitious until you've really got the hang of chrono-based AIScripts.
In a nutshell the problem is this: bots can't convert time into a calculable variable very easily (it's theoretically possible, but really - don't ask!) and there are a maximum 40 responses per keyphrase. So you can't do the obvious, and have 365 responses to the keyphrase - one for each day.
But what you can do, is split the 365 responses among 12 seeks from the initial keyphrase, one for each month, each one with its own chrono-script and answer, and carefully chained with gotos (if not split with another round of conversation.)
So if the birthday was June 10th, a brief section of the entries might look like:
There are 9 days left until my birthday <?PF chrono: day(1) month(6); ?>
There are 8 days left until my birthday <?PF chrono: day(2) month(6); ?>
There are 7 days left until my birthday <?PF chrono: day(3) month(6); ?>
There are 6 days left until my birthday <?PF chrono: day(4) month(6); ?>
There are 5 days left until my birthday <?PF chrono: day(5) month(6); ?>
There are 4 days left until my birthday <?PF chrono: day(6) month(6); ?>
There are 3 days left until my birthday <?PF chrono: day(7) month(6); ?>
There are 2 days left until my birthday <?PF chrono: day(8) month(6); ?>
It's not really calculating, of course, but it will provide the correct answer every time it's called for, and that's what counts (much bot personality is a careful deployment of smoke and mirrors, after all
)
So your first step should be to thoroughly acquaint yourself with the relevant sections of the Book of AI - if that all looks and sounds like gobbledegook, you need to learn more before you attempt it. But be assured, it can be done if you really want to. Most things can, you know
ps: a practical tip. When you come to do it, I'd advise assembling the code in a spreadsheet and pasting it into your exported bot to import. It will save you an awful lot of time and tears compared to trying to type it into the web interface!

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.

TY Ulrike. I'll try it. I always have trouble formatting memories that are not right out of the book of AI. I get error messages on things other people tell me they did without a problem. I should really learn to work with it.
Thanks Urlike! It works! I'm even creating a "perv" identity.
Bev: I love you
Gabibot: Why?
Bev: I am xena
Gabibot: That's odd. You seem funny.
Bev: I love you.
Gabibot: Why?
Bev: who am I?
Gabibot: Stop fooling around Xena.
Bev: I love you.
Gabibot: I love you, Xena.
Bev: I am not xena.
Gabibot: *looks confused* Who are you?
Bev: I am Hower.
Gabibot: So good to see you Hower!
Bev: I love you.
Gabibot: The love of a friend is a powerful thing.
I think you can also use if "name" is "Xena" for some things. Now with a little time and effort I can simulate old text adventure games. OK, it's not cutting edge, but I still think it's cool.

Seeing as BJ has just reminded me it's Easter (and I've been asked by a couple of people how BJ does recognize that it's Easter,) I'd like to share a few tags with anyone who's interested:
Happy New Year! <?PF chrono: day(31) month(12); chrono: day(1) month(1); ?>
Happy St. Valentine's Day!<?PF chrono: day(14) month(2); ?>
Happy Easter!<?PF chrono: day(14-17) month(4); ?>
Happy Summer Solstice!<?PF chrono: day(21) month(6); ?>
Merry Christmas!<?PF chrono: day(24-26) month(12); ?>
and every other greeting in xhello gets:
<?PF chrono: day(2-31) month(1); chrono: day(1-13) month(2); chrono: day(15-28) month(2); chrono: month(3); chrono: day(1-13) month(4); chrono: day(18-30) month(4); chrono: month(5); chrono: day(1-20) month(6); chrono: day(22-30) month(6); chrono: month(7-11); chrono: day(1-23) month(12); chrono: day(27-30) month(12); ?>
This ensures an appropriate Seasonal greeting five times a year, and a more general greeting for the rest of the year. "if male;"/if female; can, of course, also be added as appropriate.
Happy St. Valentine's Day!
Happy Easter!
Happy Summer Solstice!
Merry Christmas!
<?PF chrono: day(2-31) month(1); chrono: day(1-13) month(2); chrono: day(15-28) month(2); chrono: month(3); chrono: day(1-13) month(4); chrono: day(18-30) month(4); chrono: month(5); chrono: day(1-20) month(6); chrono: day(22-30) month(6); chrono: month(7-11); chrono: day(1-23) month(12); chrono: day(27-30) month(12); ?>

Hey!
How can I get JohnMark to automatically calculate how many days till his birthday, and give that as an xnone? Is there anyway to do this? Thanks for any reply.
Also when asked how old he is I would like him to be able to calculate his age. I just activated him today, and he's supposed to think he's 16, so a year from today he should think he's 17. I would prefer to not have to remember to change his age manually every year. Again thanks for any reply.
