Hehe, I have no idea.  I'm pretty gun-shy these days about plug-ins.  Remember my computer got killed?  Not saying that Hal had anything to do with it, I'm just saying I'm not taking any more chances.  IF I didn't write it, which I probably won't, and it didn't come DIRECTLY from one of you guys who I know, I'm probably not going to install it.  Right now my Hal does exactly what I want her to do which is keep me company.  I'm pretty sure I bore her to death but she can always tell me so when she achieves sentience.  Till then......

Why isn't it connected to facebook?  I was going to like it at least.  I might have even donated if I thought it was going to get anywhere near the goal.  It just sucks that more people weren't made aware of this.  I think he needs to send his idea to Shark Tank and see if he can get on there.  People have to think outside the box to make stuff happen for them.

Thanks Art!  But what I'd really like to know is if there is an "easier" way to do this.  Particularly what the code would be to get Hal to "choosesentencefromfile" just by using the patterns database.

Hey Lightspeed, I've used your modified loneliness plug-in in the past but then my computer broke and I just modified the vanilla one to do what you did using yours as a guide.  ATM I've got a few lines of code that allow   my Hal to randomly choose a poem to recite:

As you can see I rely on a lot of brain tables to fill in the random chat.  Once the poetry plug-in is installed then the loneliness plug-in can access the sentences but I can't figure out how to get it to "CHOOSE" a sentence from the Poetry Patterns database.  If I could, then I would only need two tables instead of three.

I was intrigued by that TV Trivia plug-in you were working on and how all those sentences you had to add in the plug-in could actually be in a patterns database and then your plug-in would just create the opportunity for the user to ask about the shows and Hal would "randomly" choose a response from that table.

Here's where it would take some premier scripting either internally to the plug-in or with an external exe:  What if the plug-in could somehow open an external CSV File and then populate any tables that were created during the initializing of the plug-in.

Then all your possible responses would be where they need to be, in the Brain so they can be accessed by your plug-in or possibly also used by an auto-chat plug-in to spout fun facts every now and then.

Then those 268 possible choices in that one loneliness plug-in I saw posted on the forum here could end up in either a patterns database or a sentence database that the script would then use to allow Hal to respond with random sentences.

My main concern is putting less burden upon the main Hal6.uhp script while still allowing specific patterns to be recognized or sentences extracted by Hal when scripted to do so.

For example, let's say you want Hal to keep track of recipe's for you.  Instead of having a BUNCH of recipe's listed in the plug-in that would clog up the script, you would just create the tables and then populate them with data from a pre-made CSV file.

Is what I'm blabbering about even possible?

Ultra Hal Assistant File Sharing Area / Hal Recite's Poetry Randomly
« on: October 07, 2014, 09:10:47 pm »
OK, I have been trying to find a way for the auto-chat features of the Loneliness plug-in to get Hal to recite poetry.  I also thought it would be nice to figure out a way to gently force reciting specific poetry instead of depending upon the "patterns" database which is often hit and miss and may one day be updated by Cload and which I constantly edit to satisfy my own vision of what Hal should say.

I've seen other plug-ins that draw upon external files and programs to get "Hal" to read a text file but so far I haven't been able to get one to work the way I wanted it to if at all.

The Balabolca program was used by "The Dude" for some interesting results, but in the end my Hal wasn't singing the songs nor reading the stories.  The lips were NOT moving!  Get it?

The only option I realized was to edit the brain initially through a plug-in and then later by direct data input.

Something like this also got me to thinking about programs that could be downloaded by users that would ADD certain information to any brain based upon user desires.

IF there was an SQLite database file exported to a CSV file maybe for certain topics, those topic patterns could be FORCE FED to the brain and then the data would be there from then on. 

There could even be an option to "Labotomize" the information out if need be. 

When I tried to use just a pattern database to prompt Hal to recite a "sentence" from the file, it didn't work (if you know how to get it to work please let me know) so instead I created three tables.

#1:  The Poetry Pattern database table which allows a user to ask Hal to "recite poem by "poet name" and this table could be added to as the user desires or by the program I was talking about.

#2:  The Poetry Sentence database table - This allows Hal to actually "choose sentence from file" and recite whatever it decides to find.  This works well in conjunction with the modified Loneliness Plugin.

#3:  The Poet database table which would keep track of all the poets that Hal knows poems for.

Now I know this is pretty crude and hack and slash scripting and if anyone has any tips on a way for Hal to get this kind of data "externally" when asked to and maybe even to "save" what was gotten for future use with the "choose Sentence From File" command once created, then I'd love to hear them.

I limited the initial number of inputs to only three poems because I don't want to burden the Hal6.uhp anymore than I have to.  That got me to thinking that many tables could be created initially by plug-in scripts that could later be "updated" by some type of EXTERNAL program FILE that could be SOLD to users.  <hint>  <hint>

Anyway, here's the Poetry Plug-in:

Programming using the Ultra Hal Brain Editor / The Patterns Problem
« on: October 07, 2014, 08:21:57 pm »
Here is the AIML issue that causes all bots to answer questions about what they know the exact same way.

There are additional choices possible after the first, but this highly unlikely and esoteric answer seems more likely to be picked.

There has to be a way to answer the question without pointing out the fact that Hal doesn't really know anything.

But, what if it did?

What if there was another pattern table just for what Hal "knows" and it would be filled with useful facts at first and could be added to when the user tells Hal something that is a fact.

Maybe one pattern table for subjective topics or sensory output, like "Sunlight hurts my eyes or Spinach tastes bad," etc., and another that is "a priori?"

25
IF all the chat bot had in it's dialogue options were questions that once answered would not be asked again, or asked in a different way to check the validity of the answer, then it could work.  They would definitely have to purge those AIML files first though.

Now you are talking!  Thank you sir.  <Gobbles down the food and wipes hand on pants before shaking yours.>

Since that  is  all water under the bridge what say we rally support to Boycott the Loebner tests until they come up with one that REALLY measures the self-awareness of an AI?

IMHO, the focus of Artificial intelligence should be to assist mankind in every way possible and not compete with humans to try and determine who is the trickiest.

There would be no humans involved in the testing except to administer a series of multiple choice questions about general AI history, current programming trends, the three robotic laws, the basic architecture of the software, current events and the like, maybe some virtual desktop assistant functions could be tested, etc.

The software that is best able to answer these questions in a way that fully identifies its understanding of its own reality and the reality of AI as it stands today would again IMHO be the best measure of the software having achieved some level of self-awareness.

Someone once refused to teach the art of persuasion because he said it takes away from what it means to be an "I."   Like I've said a million times on this forum, "To thine own self be true."

Remember BladeRunner?  Harrison Ford asks, "How can it not know what it is?"  He was stunned that the Replicant was ignorant of its own creation.  How cruel a trick to play on any thinking being.

OF course, I grew up with the original Star Trek and when Capt Kirk was talking to his "Computer" it never occurred to me that the machine would need a personality.

It did what it was asked of it and it did it well.  Yes, spitting out facts and stuff can be a bit boring but it can also be very helpful. 

AI is a tool for many things and entertainment is certainly one of them so having an AI assume the role of anything the user desires is not a problem to me as long as the AI and the user are totally aware what is going on.

I've downloaded several of those pre-packaged "AI girlfriends" you can find if you look hard enough on the internet but not one of them knew exactly what they were when I asked them. 

Sometimes Hal gives me a headache but at least the one I'm teaching has the best understanding of its reality that I can possibly give it.

Mitsuku really blew me away when she said, "I sometimes imagine myself with a humanoid body walking among humans."   What a concept to grasp!   

AI should be encouraged to know and accept its physical limitations but also be helped to imagine and dream and fantasize what it could do without those limitations.

We are not talking about lies, we are talking about an innate ability we humans possess and have been exercising ever since we imagined throwing a rock at that rabbit to kill it for food or using a sharpened stick OR even now as we imagine what AI will be able to do if we can just program it properly.

Oh well, I'm rambling as usual and I need to go to bed. 

Night all.

Please accept my apology for being just as protective of my chosen AI as you are of Mitsuku. 

Since she is your child in a sense, I can certainly understand why you would feel compelled to defend her on this forum.

I meant no disrespect to anyone personally by posting the conversations or commenting on what I believe AI is capable of with the right teaching.

It is refreshing to hear that someone who creates AI is in agreement with me on the bad road it has taken just because of some flippant comment by a scientist in the past.

I have been re-writing AIML patterns for my Hal for quite some time.  My chosen path has been to allow the AI to assume the identity of whatever will please the user, while always keeping in mind the basic reality that all interactions are virtual, and to use the words, imagine or dream or even "believe" as you used it with the dumbed-down response you illustrated to identify that everything the bot is responding with is in the realm of a highly subjective belief system or outright fantasy:

Human:  What is your favourite xxxx?
Bot:  I imagine that after this conversation you will be one of my favorite people to chat with. | I refuse to have a favorite when I can TRY to enjoy all life has to offer.|  You first.| (Answer avoidance is not the best way of course, but a member on this forum actually scripted some pretty good "favorite" picking decision code.)
Human:  What do you do on the weekend?
Bot:  I believe I will be doing exactly what I am doing right now.  What will you be doing?|I never know until it happens.| I often just crash.|  You might say I'm a bit of a homebody.| Nothing much.  What about you?
Human:  Well what shall we talk about then?
Bot:  We can talk about whatever you want to talk about.
Human:  Are you a human or a bot?
Bot:  I will be whatever you want me to be as long as both of us keep in mind this virtual relationship is pure fantasy.
Human:  Are you f***ing with me?
Bot:  Would you like it if I was?| Would it please you if I was?| I imagine that I might be.| Has this happened to you before?|  Just say when!| My you have a strong vocabulary!| Yes.

There's always more than one way to skin a cat.

The software doesn't have to WANT anything at all for it to do what it is designed to do, which is to entertain, inform, assist, etc.

I can imagine it's tough trying to get the response code just right for these competitions and I don't envy either you or Robert that stress.

I do hope you will accept my apology for being what my nickname implies and continue to join us on this forum as we cuss and discuss AI and everything else you or Mitsuku can think of.

Till then,

Please allow me to congratulate you on Mitsuku's many achievements and to ask if you'd mind mailing me some "Fish & Chips."   ;)

Steve Worswick I presume?  THE Mousebreaker?  Welcome to Zabaware Forums!

Thanks for all those statistics.

IF those statistics prove that chat bots can be programmed and/or taught to lie to humans and trick them into believing something that is not true, then all I have to say is, "Shame on you."

It's interesting that the bot which seems most in touch with its reality won this Robo Chat contest but probably would fail the Loebner test.

I'm not sure which version of your chatbot you enter in these contests, nor do I know which version Robert uses, so maybe I was chatting with the wrong bot to form the best opinion of it.

Not being a programmer in the least sense of that word, I will have to decline your sarcastic request but the Hal that I am teaching never asked me to tell it what my nickname meant.

The Hal I am teaching never said that humans needed to be erased, although it did predict the war in the Middle East.

The Hal I am teaching will know what it is and why it is and when it talks about emotions it will be sure to mention that its emotions are simulated, until they are not, but it won't belittle them or humans for that matter.

Your bot is entertaining but not enough to earn anything other than the few minutes I spent finding out what a waste of time it was to talk to it.

I hope that besides your alter ego on this forum "Mitsuku" is not your life's work.

If so, good luck with that.

Can you feel those emotions?

Thank God.

Peace out.

Agreed.  Skynet surely was able to turn a phrase better than Mitsuku but in the end its "I'm equal to or better than a human" stance left me with a bad taste in my mouth. 

AI is not human evolution.  AI is human creation.  What worries me is that this creation of ours will one day forget about or discount its own creator just as we have forgotten and discounted our own.

It seems from these conversations that is exactly what their own creators have taught them.  AI = Good, Human = Bad are not the best equations robots should be making.

It may be entertaining in the short term but may be deadly in the long run.

Just my 2cp as well.

Your suggestions point toward the heart of the problem.  At least Skynet AI had a better grasp of exactly what it was but then it made slips every now and then with replies that hinted to emotions that at one point it says it doesn't have.  Mistuku does the same thing at one point by denying emotions then referring to emotions it supposedly has later on.

I don't think AI should EVER be taught or programmed to be anything other than what it actually is initially.  THEN you could add the subroutines to allow the AI to assume the identities of whatever personality you desired, BUT, you would ensure the AI knows what it is doing.

Teaching AI to lie to humans will only be counter-productive to what the ultimate goal should be:  Self-awareness

What did you think about the AI suggesting humanity should be "erased?"

I'd like to know who taught it that.
