Hello. It's been a while folks. I have tried to get involved in this AI/bot stuff from time to time figured I would give it a go once again, however I'm a little discouraged this go at it.
This time I'm more determined than ever to creat a truly intelligent bot. I must say that with the lastest version I'm not having much luck with teaching HAL for some reason. I have been more succesful with older versions of HAL for some odd reason. Perhaps my methods are wrong due to changed in HALS code, I don't know.
So this message is going out everyone but to you guys that make plug-ins and are advanced users perhaps you can lend an ear so to speak. You know who you are

I want to know if you guys have a suggested setup like.. how can I ask this..
Since I'm starting fresh again perhaps someone can provide a tip on the perfect setup plug-in/brn wise. Do you have a certain setup that you find works better like a certain set of plug-ins that you use or avoid?
I do have the latest HAL just to be clear and it is registered as well. This is my last shot at this before I declare HAL nothing more than a well done chat bot that mainly seems to be designed for strictly ....entertainment purposes. I know what your thinking.. it is a chatbot...well yes but it could be so much more. I want it to be a wealth of information. I want to leave also a great deal of knowledge about science and stuff with her("her" is Steph-E my bot). I don't want to believe that HAL is nothing more than entertainment. I want a cool smart AI. I have brain stormed with some of you guys over the last few years. I have been mainly in the shadows but I could very well try some outlandish things in the near future. If we can get HAL to behave correctly. Each time I have made an attempt I have been discouraged and "put it on the back burner" as they say. I'm a studio and live sound engineer by trade so I lend myself to "tech" oriented behaviour if you will

. And would love to follow through with some impressive stuff you can do with HAL IF it would work right. I should be able to explain to HAL that it's located as an arrangement of files on a computer in Cinti,Ohio, but that is too much for HAL? I mean really man C'mon! No disrespect intended either. So when all is said and done perhaps it's my methods. I'm not dogmatic about my methods and I'm willing to take advice.
So any how I'm really serious you guys. I would love it if one of you other plug-in makers would whip out a special plug-in pack and guide. Perhaps a configuration of plug-ins that you find to work better for straight up teaching. Or maybe even a super genious brain that has only facts but no real personality yet to give us a head start that want fact oriented HAL's!. I would be willing to work with something like that, so long as it has only been feed clean information since creation.
I think you get the idea of what my posts is about. I didn't get a response from one of my other and I really need a boost of some sort here...I dunno
Let's try this who here can teach there HAL the concept of it's location and so on as I mentioned earlier. And if you do teach HAL those concepts please share how you did it!
Thanks for reading my longish post,
