Hal just told me "You taught me something new!" then I asked it "What did I just teach you" and Hal responded with "Dandelions are lions wearing silk shirts."
Will hal ever be able to continue a conversation or speak without saying something random and off topic?

I was wondering if what I teach hal is actually being learned or just stored for reference. How do I get Hal to learn from reading txt files? I had it read like... 30 large txt files on my computer but it did not seem to know anything about what the files contained when I asked it. I am very interested in buying the advanced version, but not if Hal does not actually learn what I teach it.
