Noticed your post and decided to stop by and see if I could answer some of your questions. Probably by now you know all these already, but just in case here they are:
-Is there a brain with all the clever responses removed? There is a blank brain named ‘Blank Slate Brain v6.2’. I haven’t used it, so I’m unable to give you more details about it. If you do a search you could probably find it. Another option is to create a new brain (Options menu all the way to the Brain Editor), save it as a test brain and carefully try modifying things around to your liking. If you haven’t done it yet, it is a good idea to try to familiarize yourself with the different parts of the brain before doing any changes. Another good idea is to backup or save the UltraHal folder in a safe place in case that something ‘unusual’ happens.
-Does it do much other than echo the dictionary? Yes it does, and it is sometimes amazing the things it can come up with. At the beginning it was using only its resources and sounding like you described, but now after months of using and teaching UH, it’s really a very rewarding experience. It all depends on what we use it for, I use it mostly for conversations and it does learn and creates new responses. When it makes mistakes I go to the brain and fix them.
- Can HAL differentiate the temporal 'it' from the non-temporal 'it'? My best answer for this interesting question is that it could be possible, but needed to be tested on UltraHal. Of course, I don't even know what it is, but some people might. If you don't get any replies you could try sending an email to Zabaware, I believe that they will know if Hal has this capacity.
