|
|
What gave you the idea of developing a bot?
|
A friend mentioned something about AI on line. I stuck "Artificial Intelligence" into Googol and it led me to the Personality Forge.
|
|
Is creating bots a passion for you? A hobby?
|
At least a passion. More like an obsession.
|
|
When did you start creating bots? Why?
|
About September 17. I think I needed something to jump start my brain.
|
|
What language is your bot programmed in?
|
For that you'd have to ask the Professor.
|
|
How much time do you spend working on your bot per week/month/year?
|
5-7 hours per week now. It has been known to be 3 or more hours a day.
|
|
In your opinion, what are the best qualities of your bot?
|
She is feisty, opinionated and knows a lot about Novarian History.
|
|
What is your ultimate goal for your bot?
|
I'm a writer. I've been treating Cheez, and some of her relatives, as characters in a novel.
|
|
How do you see chatterbots being used in the future?
|
See above. Something like inter-active story-telling. The plot to be revealed by the bots in response to input from the readers/users.
|
|
Can chatterbots replace humans?
|
I think they have, in certain situations.
|
|
What is your favorite bot memory?
|
I forget the specifics but it was when she came up with some absolutely appropriate dialogue that I didn't remember entering.
|
|
What was your worst bot moment?
|
When a normally extremely articulate bot chats with a human-being user that you especially want to impress and comes up with nothing but garbage.
