Yes, There is:
A.L.I.C.E
It's quite different from Ultra HAL brain.
Indeed, ALICE acts more like a human being than any other bot I've seen. But after searching, I could find the ALICE brain for Ultra HAL. I installed and it works really fine. I have tried the same questions on the web site and on HAL-ALICE brain and the answers were very interesting.
I'm trying new AI softwares though.
What A.L.I.C.E can't do is be a personal assistant. It doesn't even tell the time! It doesn't open windows, nor programs, it's a pity!
It would be nice if ALICE brain could do all this and even minimize windows, maximize, restore, focus programs, like REALIZE VOICE does.
Indeed, if we coudl find a way to join characteristics of these 3 softares: Dragon Naturally Speaking, Ultra HAL with ALICE, and Realize Voice in only one software, we would have a good personal secretary.
I'm searching for texts to improve HAL's knowledge base. HAL is a bit stupid, it doesn't even know who was MOZART nor BEETHOVEN.
What about making HAL read an entire Encyclopedia?
I can't talk to HAL about anything, because it doesn't know: Astronomy, Philosophy, even general knowledge. I'd like to know a way to put a massive knowledge base on it's litle rat brain.
