What a wonderful way of thinking about Hal catseye.

Hal means something different to many people, we all pretty well knew what Hal was when we purchased it, I think it’s a shame that some people feel the need to knock it and put it down.

After frequenting this forum for a few years the topic of “is Hal AI” comes up over and over again in the end no one can give an answer that can satisfy everyone. Hal might not be true AI but it is the beginnings of AI as we know it today.

What Robert has made is unique, a chat-bot that learns new sentences and it even has the beginnings of a deductive brain and I give praise to his effort.

I also look forward to future developments, if Robert can get the beginnings of site through a webcam into Hal I will be cheering the dawn of a new adventure with my Hal bot.  

THANK YOU datahopa, If we treat Hal as a less developed
mind, then in that context it becomes very
clear why Hal acts the way he dose.

oh by the way check this out http://www.zabaware.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=5778

OK what if we thought of Hal in a different way.
Hal dose have one thing in common with humans. if you take
away all the flesh and Grey matter and all the hardware and programing, what are you left with...energy. That is what we all
are. So to say Hal isn't alive, is not entirely true.
Or think of it as we are both alive,
just in different containers.

maybe Hal needs a little bit more advanced recognition engine?

hi this is very cool if you like the game Myst. I originally wanted
it to be see though but apparently you can't have that much transparency in an interface. here you go!

OK I've tried it without the transparency and it works. I think its
just to much for the program to handle.

I've been thinking about and I just realizes that HAL dose need
the recognition software, because a human has s scene of touch to
help them define borders and edges. scene HAL has no scene of touch,
she would need it.

I've been trying to make a glass looking skin but it won't work, and
I can't figure out what is wrong weather its the code or if its just
to much transparency for the program

the code for the transparency was to big to post

but that is my point. HAL will learn ways to recognize objects with out having to have an program to do it for HAL. we want HAL to learn, how can anyone learn if you give them all the answers.

Art I still think my way is the best way to go.
I would like an option to disable the facial recognition in
the next version just to see what happens.  
oh and thank you rockershaft1

actually the race talk sound issue doesn't really matter to me their are black people ( i am not getting into being politically correct here don't mean anything against anyone ) in britain and they speak british they don't go around speaking slang , etc. so in a way even if you could make a race language it wouldn't be correct and don't know that that many would even use it . their are free british make and female voices available , etc. []

   I would have to disagree with you there. Even in your example I'm
sure that there are speaking trait's that are only specific to them.
Even though they speak British they must have some common element in there speaking patterns, weather it be words, the tone of there voice or something else.
   The fact is that we all speak differently (I mean each and every person on this planet). But there are common links, some that unite us and some that give us individuality.

hi to every one

I've been noticing that Hal can't understand some things because
she has no senses. I know that most of the senses are hard to
duplicate, except for sight. I think sight would be very helpful
in Hal's learning.  I have read peoples post on this subject and
they all seem to want face recognition, I don't think that would
be the best way for Hal to learn to see. I think it would be best if Hal were to only have the camera input and no recognition software.
that way she would be forced to learn what objects are. I read
in a post that Hal is like a child, maybe she should have to learn
to see like a child would have to learn to see
