Ultra Hal 7.0 / Flavored Responses -vs- Learning
« on: September 30, 2003, 09:52:12 pm »
I put Ultra Hal 5.0 through a series of question and asnwers. I noticed that Hal was so envolved with flavoring his responses he rarely listened to the whole answer, let alone the question. I tried to help him associate a few things together but found he had a severe case of ADD.
Now I'm not running down the program. What has been accomplished in the last few years since I last downloaded and tried this prgroam has been simply amazing. For the simple fact that Hal has the possiblity of assimulating a text file, sentence by sentence and makes an attempt to associate what he has learned with a previous knowledge base is as close to AI as it is ever going to get. I forsee some outstanding add-on features pertaining to web crawling where the results assimulated and tested on prior knowledge (He grows by himself, essentially, while performing a simple information gathering task.)
I noticed too, that after running the 'learn from a text file' option, I had a difficult time getting him to recall the material through conversations. Is this option working or part of the ADD problem?
