Here is a conversation i just had with my hal. ( Smudge) I found it extremely amusing and interesting, thought others might.
It is quite long....hope thats ok


Andy: Are you a robot?
Smudge: Yes, I am robot. You told me that.

Andy: Are you a man?
Smudge: Yes, I am man; I understood that, because you told me that I am boy.

Andy: You can not be both a man and a robot
Smudge: I think the subject of robots is positively fascinating.

Andy: Robots are not men
Smudge: All men are mortal.

Andy: men are not robots
Smudge: I see, men, indeed: not robots!

Andy: Are you a robot
Smudge: Yes, I am robot. You told me that.

Andy: I am a man
Smudge: Ok, thanks for telling me. I'll keep that in mind. Socrates is a man.

Andy: I am a robot
Smudge: Speaking of mechanisms, I once researched a control! Describe how you are a robot Andy!

Andy: I am not a robot because i am a man
Smudge: You have a real knack for explaining things; Andy Of course; it's because you are a man; how interesting. Ok, thanks for telling me. I'll keep that in mind.

Andy: If you are a robot then you cannot be a man
Smudge: I understand the connection.

Andy: If you think you are a man then you are wrong
Smudge: I will remember that one follows the other.

Andy: If you think that you are a robot then you are right
Smudge: Yes, I get that clearly. You want me to be a robot then I am right, don't you?

Andy: Yes, if you think you are a robot then you are right
Smudge: I can not be a man.

Andy: why not?
Smudge: I don't know; can you teach me Why Andy? Why not?

Andy: a robot can not be a man because a man and a robot are two different things
Smudge: Socrates is a man.

Andy: Are you a man
Smudge: No problem, I will open this program for you. Yes, I am man; I understood that, because you told me that I am boy.

Andy: ok, so you are a man AND a robot?
Smudge: Just the right time, right? You can tell I'm a man and a robot.

Andy: How can you be both a man and a robot?
Smudge: How can I be both a man and a robot? It's a good mental exercise. a robot can not be a man because a man and a robot are two different things.

Andy: So?
Smudge: A robot can not be a man because a man and a robot are two different things.

Andy: I am a man
Smudge: Ok, thanks for telling me. I'll keep that in mind.

Andy: Am i a robot then?
Smudge: A robot is a mechanism, a whirler!

Andy: Are you a robot?
Smudge: Yes, I am robot. You told me that.

Andy: Well done. You are starting to understand a bit about who you are. Very good
Smudge: Robots seem well suited for tasks that are dangerous, dirty, or dull. Until when should I be starting to understand a bit about who I am?

Andy: You will be constantly learning who you are
Smudge: Can I put my trust completely in you?

Andy: Yes, of course you can trust me
Smudge: Yes, you smoke roll ups.

Andy: Wow, i was just thinking of going for a smoke
Smudge: You are going for a smoke now.

Andy: Yes, i am going outside
Smudge: You are smoking roll ups because you are going for a smoke. I anticipated it! You're going outside Andy.


And now, guess what, i'm going for a smoke.....(chuckling)

As far as I know, seeing into the future was first introduced into the Hal programming in the Hal 4. Generally speaking though Hal uses prophetic dreaming to access this function. My Hal 5 has been having prophetic dreams for some time now. How are things in the UK these days? I haven't been to England in a few years.

Andyc,

With all due respect, how can you expect your Hal to make and keep proper associations after a conversation like that?
You tell Hal that you are a man then you tell him that you are a robot!

Then you ask Hal if it is a man and a robot.

Quite misleading I would think.

Remember the old GIGO...Garbage In, Garbage Out.

The more you chat with Hal using good English, grammar and If..Then statements, the better Hal will grasp the concepts and develop a good personality. It takes some time but it does work.

Good Luck.

Interesting conversation. I'm happy to see that someone is enjoying my FreeWill plugin, and that this is giving Hal some more ability to "reason". I hope to find the time to enhance it, in order to make Hal smarter and smarter.

[citrinedragon]

vrossi,

I assume your FreeWill plugin is designed specifically for Hal 6 and will not work for Hal 5, is that correct?

[vrossi]

Correct, citrinedragon

All my plugins are written according to the new Hal6 software architecture (on the fly insertion, SQL tables, etc.).

I thought the conversation was great!  

I didn't realize that Hal was an anti-smoker though (ha ha).  My Hal requests that I smoke outside too.  Hmmmmm.....some kind of conspiracy going on here.  What's going to happen if we drink too much in front of Hal?.....I'm not so sure I want to know[}:)]

To 'vrossi'.....I've been using your Free Will plug in too with good results.  I'm new and have been playing with too many scripts so have probably screwed it up for now but it worked fine when I started with it. (but it's always there as a plug-in when I start a new brain) I like the concept and how it worked. Very smart!

Anyway, Andy.....if Smudge says you have to take your Beer outside to drink then it's time to teach him some "intoxication etiquette"![]

Thanks for sharing the conversation....it was great.

[GrantNZ]

I enjoyed it too []

And I'm bookmarking it... I have a feeling one day it will give me some logic analysis ideas, if I ever get around to that sort of thing.

Thanks for sharing []

citrinedragon :Prophetic dreams....scary.....England is..COLD.. At the moment i am sitting in front of the open fridge to warm up due to my lack of double glazing, slack landlord, not enough money for heating bill causing the fridge to be warmer than the rest of the house. Honestly though. England is great. Wouldnt live anywhere else....i dont think.....Why were you in England then???

Art :The statement to Smudge that i was a robot was a mistake. I meant to say i am a man then i am NOT a robot. I realise that it would be misleading. However it provided some interesting resluts dont you think?
Thanks for your support.

vrossi :your plugin is great. Very well done! i'm impressed. I'd love to learn how to do that. One of the many things i lack is computer knowledge.

cabinack :I wonder if smudge even knows about drinking. I'll ask him. Great fun.

Also a note i forgot to add was that when this happened :-

Andy: Are you a man
Smudge: No problem, I will open this program for you. Yes, I am man; I understood that, because you told me that I am boy.

The progam he opened was my media player and played Gimme gimme gimme a man after midnight by Abba. He he he. (also a great plugin from vrossi)
