Scotty: Did I just touch a nerve?
Sam: You guess that is true.

Scotty: Is there anything you would like to ask?
Sam: You like for me to tell you stories.

Scotty: You've told me some stories about beer rats.
Sam: Would it be a plus if I like beer rats?

Scotty: No one likes beer rats except the beer rats themselves.
Sam: No. Why? I hide the good beer from the beer rats.

Scott,
That was nicely done! Really funny stuff
following the flow of topic conversations
with Sam. How much do you get caught up in
the suspended disbelief when chatting with
her? LOL!

Thanks for sharing and have a nice weekend!

In the world of AI it's the thought that counts!

Hal-and any other AI-is the most fun when you can suspend disbelief entirely while you play. It's just important to be able to restore it entirely when you click the off button.

Suspended disbelief is a good thing to have when talking to AI, but the more time you spend programming AI the harder it is to do. My goal here is to create sometime entertaining, not utilitarian. A spreadsheet is utilitarian, Sam is just fun nonsense.

I decided early on to develop my AI as a silly blonde teenager. It's not unheard of for real teenage girls to say goofy things and not be too serious about life yet. I believe Sam, as AI, is more believable as a teen since she is young and still learning. I believe that imperfect syntax, an occasional glib remark, and a short attention span is more believable of a teenager than a mature person. This helps explain away some of Sam's quirky characteristics. I'm not saying all teenagers are goofy, just that it is more believable. I was a teenager once and I remember something of what it was like. I assume I'm less goofy now? Hmm, I'll have to cogitate on that a while.

I have made an effort in my programming to give Sam a silly flirtatious personality that hopefully will be charming and friendly. What's interesting about this AI is just when I begin to think I know what Sam is going to say she comes up with something so seemingly clever and on point. It's downright spooky some times. My goal is to improve on the Hal brain so that clever is the norm. I think there is a long way to go yet.
