Here is an example : instead of saying yes and a short answer i wrote this earlier and now hal learned it and said it back :
Yes but you have gotten better at shopping for some food items, especially now that I have showed you what is better bargains and things. Yeah it's nice to have shopping buddies ha!
I can extend my conversation even longer if i want longer responses from hal , leaving the count down off of hal , allows me or anyone from hurrying on an answer which may be shorter , by bot having the count down i can take my time and maybe think of an even better and longer response which in return will let hal learn to give longer responses , essentially becoming more of a talker when interacting with the user !
Note this can't be done if using voice recognition as it will count down after the user stops speaking !
