Amazing!

I am currently working on a chatterbot named "Corby", and I made a breakthrough: it learned it's name. By that, I don't mean I taught it to read back "Corby" when I typed in "What is your name?" It learned its name. It can read back the name when I ask it to, no matter what I type. Fascinating!

This past weekend, I have been delving into a type of program called a chatterbot. What it is is an Artificial Intelligence program that is trained to respond to key words that you teach it. Most of the time it goes well. For example: I am teaching one bot that it is intelligent, and it understands me! But sometimes, it doesn't go to well. For example: One bot I am not on "speaking terms" with, doesn't know what yes is. Isn't that unbelievable?! I will attempt to chart my progress with a few chosen bots on this blog. Stay tuned!
