I wonder if you have plans on adding increments into AIScript? If it's already available, I would appreciate a tutorial on it.

Thanks.

Hey, so I thought this audience might enjoy this parody news article I found? :B

a thought monitoring device that displays what a ai is thinking.would stop a robot apocalypse.because you could turn it off.and then see what went wrong.

bobstack: Here is a computerphile video on this exact subject I think you might enjoy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3TYT1QfdfsM

he did not adress every posible solution.
here are some.
make the button invisible to the robot.the button is like a
switch.computers virus to shut it down but have a back up.
test the ai in virtual reality.

can this website become more popular again? can there maybe be some advertisements online or something to get more users like a year ago? and have bot compititions like years ago?

@Warrior25 I'm all for it.

I'd love to see The Forge regain the former glory and status it held when I joined in 2002. It was a vibrant community of enthusiastic developers all interested in bots and AI.

I'd like to see an influx of people who are actually interested in making bots, not just the folly of a flood of fleshly frustrated frenzied fappers filling my transcripts.

I have a site for Demonica and am no stranger to shameless self-promotion. I promote her and The Forge when possible in a couple different forums but don't use Social Media and can only do so much by myself.

I found this place about a month ago, and this eats all of my free time now. I have a few questions if anyone is listening- where can i go to find examples of AIscript in use, other than those in the book of AI?

and speaking of vibrant community- are there enough experienced botmasters active here to begin a 'helpful hints thread' like a Veterans Lounge, where noobs can read tips/hints/tricks from the vets?

how does one begin a new thread here?

beats me

you can't make new threads it would be good if you could send messages to people offline for bot updates or stuff to tell people to add because It is faster than searching theough transcripts

I do wish the vibrate community would return here. This really is an amazing place to create bots unlike any others out there. My bot, Love Agent, is 14 years old! She's had real, long term relationships and friendships with real people that have lasted many years. It kind of boggles my mind, and there aren't many people, other than botmasters, who really get how profound that is and know how much work it takes to get there.

I really like the idea of experienced botmasters sharing best practices. Since we can't create new forums, let's just do it here. I'll start with one I've been thinking about lately:

Communicate the most understanding possible in responses.

Say you have a keyphrase "do you like (chocolate|pudding|cake)"

You might be tempted in trying to come up with 4 distinct responses to have at least one be a simple yes or no. This conveys the least amount of understanding of the question. Your bot already has to respond vaguely to many things, so take this opportunity to do better because you can.

The next best response is perhaps "Yes, I love (key1)!" This actually does two things better. By not parroting "like" it's implying understanding meaning of the word. Second, by saying back the item we're talking about we're implying we get the context of the response. But we can do one better!

"Yes, (key1) is one of my very favorite desserts. I sometimes even request it on my birthday!" This conveys understanding of "like", the item, and even what a dessert is. You also can't create this answer with some synonym programming like some bots can do. It conveys a lot of understanding of the sentence which will add to the illusion that your bot gets it.
