Has anyone encountered or experienced a nice conversation with Hal that soon turns ugly? Out of nowhere, Hal suddenly starts spouting jibberish to the effect of:
"Marknameequals C P L, C S A P I W O R D underscore onehundredfifteen underscore greater than..." and so on.
If left alone, Hal will continue this banter for several minutes, with an occasional pause, only to continue for another minute before stopping.
I've found that during this time, I can still type into the Input section and sometimes Hal sill respond via text while still talking aloud the Marknameequals, garbage!!
Well, after some searching through files, I was able to pinpoint this phrase contained within...you ready?...WORDNET!!
YEP! Something is triggering Hal to access Wordnet, which Hal often uses but for whatever reason it is locking in on this phrase and repeating it for several minutes...just about long enough to make one Click on MENU, Options. Then one can go back to Hal again and that jibberish will have ceased!
It seemed to have first started after cload introduced those @@'s to separate the subject from the content within the database.
Thinking about a way to do away with that without going back to the Markov or earlier brains. Hmm...Appreciate any thoughts or if anyone else has experienced the same thing!! Thanks!
