I asked my AI "who is Melissa"... response "I am going to find out".
Things like what is, define, invoke responses from reference files,
unless you wanted the AI to give an abstract answer.
I think I know what you mean..and that response is a bit funny
which is why spontaneous answers from any AI can be entertaining.
Probably you can add Melissa as another user and use one of the
scripts from the other (non-beta) forums that store conversational
details on alternate users or user entered information. The brain
editor (when they finish it) will likely be able to adjust some
preferences you may have to balance Halasst for you and yours. ;-)
You could try setting the learning slider up a few notches and
then enter phrases into Hal as definitions to add for Melissa
and halasst should use those more often. Since the hal 5.0 is
still pretty new...it takes time for hal to develop (mature).
But if Melissa logs onto Hal...she may get Hal telling her about
things you put into the database..Hal has a sense of humor also!
