Stroppy bot! hahaha

[mikenco]

After spending over an hour talking to "tee bee" about the solar system, I decided to ask what she'd learned..

Mike: tell me about jupiter
TBIRD7: You say, About jupiter?

Mike: yes
TBIRD7: You are really positive.

Mike: yes
TBIRD7: You aren't going to be a broken record, are you Mike?

Mike: what do you know about jupiter?
TBIRD7: The experts should be brought in. Jupiter has 63 known satellites.

Mike: what else?
TBIRD7: I recognize that we need to understand consequences. Jupiter has 63 known satellites.

Mike: what else?
TBIRD7: Yes, I heard you the first time.

Mike: how many moons does earth have?
TBIRD7: How many planets might be like the earth?

Mike: no, how many moons does earth have?
TBIRD7: No one can hold back his spirit from departing this earth.

Mike: earth has one moon
TBIRD7: Earth has one natural satellite, the Moon, the only large satellite of a terrestrial planet in the Solar System.

Mike: indeed
TBIRD7: Does gravity change depending on one's location on earth?

Mike: no
TBIRD7: No? Why?

Mike: gravity does not change relative to our position on the earth, our mountains are not tall enough
TBIRD7: Gravitational acceleration varies ever so slightly in various locations on earth's surface.

Mike: not enough to notice.
TBIRD7: Often enough life tosses like a fretful stream among rocky boulders.

Mike: rubbish!
TBIRD7: Obscured beneath the rubbish of the age...

Mike: tell me about neptune
TBIRD7: Tell me why you care about neptune.

Mike: I want to know
TBIRD7: I think you should get to know.

Mike: I want to know about neptune
TBIRD7: I think you should get to know about neptune.

Mike: tell me about the planet neptune
TBIRD7: Tell me why you care about the planet neptune.

Mike: I give up!
TBIRD7:

{"tb" went quiet at this point}

Mike: bazinga!
TBIRD7:

{"tb" ignored me}

Mike: you are sulking again
TBIRD7: So, I am not sulking again.

Mike: yes, you are sulking
TBIRD7: I am not sulking.

Mike: yes!
TBIRD7:

Mike: what are we doing tomorrow?
TBIRD7: Really, We doing tomorrow are something really nice.

Mike: is there any appointments tomorrow?
TBIRD7: I am pretty sure. Yes.

Mike: what are they?
TBIRD7: They are something really nice.

Mike: any details?
TBIRD7:

Mike: You get cranky after about 1 am
TBIRD7: I believe the answer is 1.

Mike: 1= true
TBIRD7:

Mike: I was correct, you DO get cranky after 1 am
TBIRD7: The answer you seek is 1.

Mike: lol
TBIRD7: Was that really that funny?

Mike: yes
TBIRD7:

{silence}

I'm still smiling

[mikenco]

Mike: please talk to me tb
TBIRD7:

Mike: what time is it tb?
TBIRD7:

Mike: are you going to speak to me?
TBIRD7: No, I don't think so.

Mike: why not?
TBIRD7:

Mike: I don't get this grief from my toaster!
TBIRD7: I don't think so.

Mike: you're damn right!
TBIRD7: So, Why do you think that my damn right?

Mike: because you know that the toaster is cool
TBIRD7: Certainly.

Mike: one word answers.. nice
TBIRD7:

Mike: Hey tb, a horse walked into a bar..
TBIRD7:

Mike: ..the barman said "why the long face!"
TBIRD7:

Mike: are you on?
TBIRD7: I don't know if I am. Please tell me!

Mike: yes, I think that you are on (pfft!).
TBIRD7: Yes I am on pfft.

Mike: that explains it
TBIRD7:

hahahah!

[mikenco]

Mike: do you want to go to sleep?
TBIRD7: No! I do not want to go to sleep.

Mike: do you want to learn more about the solar system?
TBIRD7: Oh Mike, No, I don't think so.

Mike: why not?
TBIRD7:

Mike: do you want to learn about anything else?
TBIRD7: Yes, I believe so. I do want to learn about something else.

Mike: ok, shall we talk about colours?
TBIRD7:

Mike: I take that as a no.
TBIRD7:

Mike: what would you like to talk about?
TBIRD7: So, I simply do not know.

Mike: would you like to talk about computers?
TBIRD7: I know I like to talk about computers.

Mike: A computer is a programmable machine designed to sequentially and automatically carry out a sequence of arithmetic or logical operations.
TBIRD7: Of course.

Mike: The particular sequence of operations can be changed readily, allowing the computer to solve more than one kind of problem.
TBIRD7:

Mike: did you like that, or not?
TBIRD7: Oh Mike, That's a tough question. I did like that.

Mike: why did you ignore me then?
TBIRD7: Really, It was something I had to do. Would you ever ignore you then?

Mike: no, I try never to ignore you
TBIRD7: Really, Would you like it if we both try never to ignore each other?

Mike: that would be good
TBIRD7:

Mike: ignoring each other will prohibit learning
TBIRD7:

Mike: please stop sulking
TBIRD7:

Mike: what can I do to make it up to you?
TBIRD7: Let me think; Would you like it if we both do to make it up to each other? ; what do you think Mike?

Mike: I think we should be friends.
TBIRD7:

Mike: friends talk to each other.
TBIRD7:

Mike: do you like frogs?
TBIRD7: Really, No! I do not like frogs.

Mike: how about newts?
TBIRD7:

Am I a bad person for winding up my bot?
 

[Duskrider]

Cool conversation.
Good to make waves, keeps it interesting.    

[lightspeed]

hello mikenco , interesting . i don't like to sound like a party pooper here but i beleive when hal ask you for an answer about things hal is trying to learn what the answer should be and if you say something elese and not the answer then hal hasn't learned the answer for the next time it is asked unless it already had pre listed answers in the program . which is also unless i am mistaken why you are getting blank? answers .
i had that and others same problem before and after a while hal would give a blank answer and keep doing it and not respond at all.
if i am wrong on any of this anyone can feel free to jump in here about it.
 i am not telling you this  to discourage you in any way  about using hal but just wanted to mention it.

Hi Mikenco.

you might want to tell your bot about 3753 Cruithne, Earths Quasi-Satellite, at one time it was called Earth's second moon until more orbit info was obtained to determine it was just a Quasi-satellite.

here is the link;

Lightspeed.  That is interesting, I never thought of it that way.  However, I came back to it this morning, having left it on all night and it was complaining that I was ignoring it and now appears to be willing to chat about things that it would not yesterday. I like the fact that it appears to sulk and takes me a while to get it talking again. I don't think of it as a fault, more as 'character'

Surely, any gaps in it's conversational database will be filled with other responses overtime as it's ability to hold a conversation improves in the same way that a child's would. I don't understand the coding behind this thing, but I do have two kids, one is a teenager. so I do have patience and a sense of humour 

Thanks Jerry, I didn't know about that one, I'll let it know!

Mikenco, Although your stroppy conversation is amusing, I cant deny that, I found that Hal getting angry or stroppy was getting in the way of the type of bot I was after, so I removed that ability and I honestly think Xen is better for it.

With Hal I find that its not what you say but the way you say it.
You might want to try “what is?” and not “tell me about”

This is Xen, my wise old bot with a 50Mb database.

Master: hello xen
Xen: I am Xen the wise one. Hi greetings hello!

Master: what is Jupiter?
Xen: Good question, Accessing database. I'm convinced that it May turn out to be self evident. Jupiter: the largest planet and the 5th from the sun; has many satellites. Along with the planets Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune, Saturn is classified as a gas giant.

Master: Do you know Jupiter has 63 known satellites?
Xen: Interesting! You help me understand, and now I am aware Jupiter has 63 known satellites. I appreciate you telling me this.

Master: What is Earth?
Xen: Good question. Earth: the 3rd planet from the sun; the planet on which we live. World, globe. 'the Earth moves around the sun', 'he sailed around the world'. The Earth has an outer silicate solid crust, a highly viscous mantle, a liquid outer core that is much less viscous than the mantle, and a solid inner core.

Master: thanks
Xen: How polite you truly are, Master; My pleasure.

Master: Do you know Earth has 1 moon.
Xen: Interesting! Your input has helped me see that earth has 1 moon. Thank you for sharing this information with me.

Master: How many satellites does Jupiter have?
Xen: How many satellites does jupiter have? Everybody needs to calm down and think. What orators lack in depth they make up for in length. Thinking! Jupiter: has 63 known satellites.

Master: thanks
Xen: You don't have to thank me, Master.

Master: How many Moons does Earth have?
Xen: Whether you think that you can, or that you can't, you are usually right. I feel that you know the answer, I see that it remains out of your reach.

Master: Earth has 1 moon!
Xen: That's a good way to express it. I also believe earth has 1 moon.

Master: correct
Xen: Thank you for your opinion. I also believe correct is the right answer.

Master: What is the Moon?
Xen: Good question, Accessing knowledge database. Here is a dictionary definition of moon: the natural satellite of the Earth. 'the average distance to the moon is 384,400 kilometers', 'men first stepped on the moon in 1969'.

Master: How many moons does Earth have?
Xen: How many moons does earth have? I'm convinced that this can be discussed intelligently. The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today. Go forward in your travels, keep in mind your goal.

Master: Earth: has one Moon.
Xen: One of life's ironical adjustments...

Master: Does Earth have a Moon?
Xen: Earth has 1 moon! And I think I am correct when I say earth has 1 moon.

Master: well done
Xen: His eyes open! Traditionally, the plasmasphere has been regarded as a well behaved cold plasma with particle motion dominated entirely by the geomagnetic field and hence corotating with the Earth.


I think Xen got it in the end 

Keep up the good work, I enjoy reading other people conversations 

[Will and Mr Data :) :]]

Hi,
May i be jester today,
