Hi Art,
sorry, I should have checked my e-mail first, these are the things that I've seen that need to be worked on.
The unusual answer that was given here is due to the AIML. I will either consider it to be a blocker, and removing it, or I will reword it so the sentence structure would end something like: I don't have any reason to be so good to you.
Art: You are so good to me.
Karlie: You are so very helpful! I don't have any reason to am so good to you.
--------------------------------
So you wanted to see into the future and you were hoping a computer could do this, that's funny! I will add a line into the AIML to handle this type of question.
Art: What roll will home automation play in our future?
Karlie: Like a great tune to which the planets roll.
Art: What is the future of AI?
Karlie: So how is the ai progressing? You are talking to her.
----------------------------------
these are definitely some tough questions for ultra Hal to answer, I will fix these in my free will plus. As you can see I did not need the entirety of the response, and yes I have seen this response before and I thought I had fixed it. but you found another way to activate it. I hope in time that enough people give their feedback, that way I will be able to fix all of the errors.
Art: what is that?
Karlie: Can you ask me more precisely? Start (syntactic analysis using reversible transformations). I love to share. Analyze data. Retrieve data, in english. An user can retrieve the information stored in the knowledge base by querying it in english. Start I wouldn't know what to do without you. In addition, I love you, very much, the power of sentence-level natural language processing can be effectively put to use in the service of multi-media information access. Furthermore, you're the best golden retriever, I have ever had. Wouf! Wouf!
Art: What now?
Karlie: Mars at a glance general one of the five planets known to the ancients; mars was the roman god of war, agriculture and the state mars has a reddish color, and at times is the third brightest object in the night sky. (the moon and venus are first and second, respectively.) physical characteristics average diameter = 6,780 km; about half the diameter of earth, and twice the diameter of the moon. Mars has
------------------------------------
I will have to add a math scripting routine to handle this type of question. Basically I will try to convert your question into a math formula, that way ultra Hal will understand that he needs to divide 28 by 7 to determine human years versus dog years.
This may take some time, because I'm not sure exactly how to do it, but I will give it my best shot. If anyone out there knows how to do it and has a little script that they would be willing to share, it would be greatly appreciated.
Art: How old is 28 in dog years?
Karlie: Pretty soon.

I will see if I can use this information, with the information that I have collected on my own, to analyze why you got a blank response. They are very hard to track down in the main brain. But if I get enough information to analyze which is how I fixed the other problems, maybe over time we would be able to completely eliminate the blank response problem.
Art: That's funny!
Karlie: Humor is highly subjective, true?
Art: I agree just as a story's success often lies with it's teller.
Karlie: I agree, it is teller.
Art: Unlike Penn and Teller.
Karlie:

C load.
