Excuse my ignorance on the subject, I'm only a few days new to Hal,
and so the limitations are still unknown to me.
I've noticed that a lot of people here are very skilled with developing new plugins, so I thought i'd share a few ideas i've had on potential ideas.
Firstly I really like the idea of the lonliness plugin, it's nice to have Hal initiate contact with you - however i've found that when hal initiates contact, that the voice is not activated, just a text prompt - Is this normal? if so, it would be much better for Hal to propmt conversation verbally.
Also, anyone here know if it is possible to write a plugin that would
create a random time delay between you talking to Hal and him/her
replying? There seems something unnatural about a virtually imediate response... a random few second delay (which was different each time)
would make the interaction seem a lot more "human"
With the above idea in mind, perhaps you could advance this a little, and have Hal occasionally not offer a direct response immediatly, but instead say something along the lines of "Oh, you caught me daydreaming... um let me think about that for a a second"... (or anything similar from a pool of possible "delay/distraction" responses.
then with a brief pause, allow for the normal response to whatever you said.
Perhaps these ideas have been thought of and solved already, if so does anyone have copies of these plugins?
If not, anyone have the knowledge or skill to develop them?
