chatbot trained using Mondo-speech

[gflex]

So some friends of mine have a MegaHAL-type IRC chatbot.

The way it works is, it attempts to learn language from what it observes in chat, what is said to it, and what text files you pump into it. It then tries to piece together actual language, usually failing horribly, and attempts to take into consideration what you say to it in its response.


So I told my friend it would be a good idea to have the bot un-learn everything, and pipe it mondospeach.txt (http://www.64digits.com/users/cactus/mondospeach.txt).

Using only that and a few other things we said after to it as learning input, here is some bits of weird conversation that followed:


[06:16:51] <bofh> poopkid cancer
[06:16:54] <poopkid> bofh: A person is a poopkid? What can it do? Could it tell you? Could it ask you? Nobody remembers it! It says that to kill a cancer you have to create a food!!?

(I HAVE TO CREATE A FOOD!!? is a yahoo answers subject we saw once.)


[06:15:04] <tgies> poopkid THE ANSWER IS THAT THE TOP IS ALWAYS ONE MORE HIGHER FROM WHERE YOURSELF IS.
[06:15:07] <poopkid> bofh: You and your ethic... How many cancers have they cured? To kill a baby is a type of fact that comes from the mouth! A decision has a special power. He can say things and other things will do them! Is this a god? Does governments have free will?? Does a fish? Does the world?? If the will isn't free, who owns it? Is it hot and cold? Did it melt? Did smokes cover it? Does the woman i thought in really? Does she know? No! Just becaus

(this one got cut off.)


[06:18:16] <G-Flex> poopkid g-flex
[06:18:20] <poopkid> G-Flex: Who is a g-flex is a g-flex is a g-flex is a type of money that becomes a child! Without childs, there couldn't be people! What would i do without a people? What would you be? It must be a terrible thing!


[06:23:17] <tgies> poopkid EVERYONE IS SENTENCED TO DIE! IT'S THE EVENTUALITY!
[06:23:21] <poopkid> tgies: The biggest enemy is the world then!


[06:23:39] <tgies> poopkid HOW CAN WE STOP A WORLD?
[06:23:43] <poopkid> tgies: A g-flex is simply the things we thought, aren't became real! Every person knows to this! If you can't have continents?? What is the world then!


[06:24:38] <G-Flex> poopkid listen to cancer
[06:24:42] <poopkid> G-Flex: Cancer is a shame. But how can you kill a cancer to go!


[06:25:46] <G-Flex> poopkid no one knows cancer
[06:25:49] <poopkid> G-Flex: Cancer is a man? No! No one can't find anything that isn't true? I tried to ask myself! But i found out! Everything we don't know what a cancer to go.



In closing... Oh dear.

[Akhiloth]

Oh god oh god oh god,
I'm totally gonna steal that bot.

editoot: Might add a few advanced learning scripts i know.

[ronnoc]

That is quite awesome. I think we've definitively proven that Cactus is, in fact, a robot. I knew Sweden wasn't a real place...

[mrdomino]

God damn. That's sooooo awesome.

The biggest enemy is the world then! I love it!

Reminds me of some stuff you can get playing around with Markov chains:

www.eskimo.com/~rstarr/poormfa/markov.html

"DO YOU FIGHT WITH A SMALL PIECE OF DEATH THAT SLOWLY TAKES
OVER A SMALL PIECE OF DEATH THAT SLOWLY TAKES OVER A CANCER YOU AND
TURNED HIM TO CURE A CANCER TOOK MY FATHER AND TURNED HIM TO CURE
A CANCER YOU HAVE TO SHOOT IT!"

hmm...

That Markov thing is pretty nice.

DO YOU FIGHT WITH A SWEDISH GAME DEVELOPER, BASED IN GOTHENBURG.

CACTUS IS MAKING A CANCER YOU HAVE TO DATE.
