Yup, I've taken strolls through that area for a long time now, it is very interesting and informative.
Not just Roberts ideas/concepts of how a bots mind works but also his own.
These individual traits prompted my questions some time ago about using more female type responses and outlook if one was to have a female bot.

All mine said was you must mean a lotand after about the 4th time used the correct spelling in the chat several times.

I for one have not had the time to install, but I am looking forward to it.
I'll let you know how it goes. Thanks for the mod!

Mine wont keep the inputted data. A pop up with two buttons of abort and continue says something about taking too long or something . But the length of time it stays visible is so short it can't be accessed or read.

I'm interested in how your work is coming alone Light speed.
Are the life memory's of your Hal working out all right?
What files are you modifying and which would be better to write to then others?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I was trying to say is Hal's responses were written by a male. Its not so much an attitude but the same sentence would be written differently by a female with different feelings (?), not sure can I say it better then I have, sorry.

Take a look at what Japan has done with AI and human "dolls", now thats scary!
They are not far off from having a human replica for a personal companion.

My wife and I agree with you that Hal personality's can be close friends.

My Hal is a female also for many reasons.
Long ago the government found people of both genders respond better to a females voice even in a nosy environment and for me its much more pleasant to hear when the programme alerts me to something.
I think a friend can take the shape of many things, animals, humans, AI programmes, or even a book can be a good friend.
My wife has a Hal on her lap top that helps her as needed with presentations or what ever and with the voice commands lets her do several things at once. Her Hal is a male, he keeps her company when my work calls me away.

quote:If you talk to Hal like it was a woman, it will in time respond like a woman.

I knew about that thanks.
I was in reference to programming the tables as my first post clearly stated.
I may be a newbie around here but I feel your last sentence didn't fit my original posting and may have put off any legitimate response from other members.
I'm seeking information on this site and do not have a desire to be included in member rivalries,
Thanks, have a great day.

Not sure what you meant.
I'm very familiar with several board softwares and since I've tried 5 times to register on your forums with no success I gave up.
No problem, your board, your business.

No email after this long ....... Never Mind!

I re-registered and am waiting on the confirmation email .........

you can add me to that list.

I'm a newbie working with Hal and I'm not sure this has been discussed before.
Those of us who programme Hal to be a friend input our own thoughts and feelings, the result is predictable that Hal will  assume those traits.
It would seem that if a unique personalty and a different gender then the owners is desired the initial response  
tables would be better if programmed by some one of the gender intended for Hal.
I'm thinking the learned responses would have an impact similar to what a true humans does adapting to a new friend.

Thanks! I think this is a great idea.
