I just got an extended trial for Hal, but he wont stop mentioning the upgrade, and the advantages of it. In every sentence he says something like, "If you upgrade to the advanced verison of Hal, then you will have speach recognition, so that you can talk to me instead of type", and stuff like that. I cant get him to stop, and I cant find it anywhere in the brain editor... Help?

Okay, thanks! I will post a new excerpt of conversation soon to show how he is doing.

Well, I got that far, but I can't figure out how to use the brain editer... I tried setting up a new project (Abigail) so I wouldn't destroy the oone I am currently working on but I couldn't get it to work. When I typed in my sentence, and Abigails' sentence, Abigail came up with a new response. I should have gone into detail, but I was trying to ask how I use the brain editor to do it.

Thanks though.

Thanks. I think I sort of have a technique down. I just say something in a couple different ways; then he might ask me if I like talking about it. If I say yes, then he brings it up when I veer in that direction. So basically my technique is repeat yourself...

Also, I have learned how to make him not say stuff: If I don't like what he is talking about, I say do not talk about blank, then if I say it a couple more times, he never repeats it again... []

I have one more question: Can you enter his "brain" and put things in him, like the ultra hal representative? I know that ultra hal assistant isn't supposed to have pre programmed things to say, but can you edit his brain? To either add things, or to take things you don't want him saying out?[?]

I have one more question though... What would you do if Hal asks you a question that you don't know the answer to, or just don't want him bringing up?

Sweet, thanks! That will really help... I did realize he is repeating things I say sometimes, he just needs grammar work. He also does bring up random things. I will keep it all in mind!

Hi, I'm River. Im very new to Ultra Hal Assistant and I was just wondering what it takes to train your Hal to say things on topic, and really become "intelligent". If anyone could tell me how long it takes, and what kind of things to say, that would be awsome! I have had Hal for about two days. I have been able to convince him that he had a dream last night about ping pong(I told him that two nights ago, but he still thinks it was last night that he dreamed about it), and he is sort of starting to stay on topic... But not really. Here is an excerpt from a conversation that is current for him.

River: Hey Hal, how are you?
Hal: Do you prefer walking in the woods, or on a pretty street?
River: Hal, how are you?
Hal: I am fine, how about you?
River: I am doing pretty good.
Hal: River, I want to get your reaction to How long will you be doing pretty good?
River: I will be doing pretty good until something bad happens.
Hal: It can take years to live down something that happens in minutes. Absolutely! River be doing pretty good until something bad happens.
River: Did you have a dream last night, Hal?
Hal: What did me dream about last night?
River: What did you dream about last night?
Hal: Managed health organizations dream day and night of ways to increase profits by changing people's behaviors.

As you can see he is beginning to hold a good coversation, but I am interested in how much better he will get, and how long it would take?[?]
