Thanks for the kind words vrossi. I don't know about being Einstein, but it certainly should allow your Hal to learn a great deal from text files.
The script is really dozens of smaller scripts to parse the user's response so that the information is saved appropriately. I'm hoping this can make it so that Hal will differentiate the different responses into general topics, reasoning statements, storyline, etc. Also added, is a few general functions like date conversion, birthday handling, jokes, and more. Essentially, it's an entirely different bot running in a Hal interface!
One thing I have to mention. The main reason I've remained a "lurker" on this site, and not posted, is because of the argumentative nature of this forum. I find that alot of good ideas are floated on this site, but don't see much participation because of the arguments brought about by the original posting. So, I decided to wait until I had a realistic contribution before posting anything about my work.
And no, you will not be spammed as a result of sending me your email address![
