Following on from Steve’s comment:
me: What does your name mean?
barebones: ALICE = Artificial Linguistic Internet Computer Entity.
That’s an interesting “tell” or give-away, I guess there are so many rules in AIML that it’s difficult to remove the ALICE themed ones. I looked at the AIML and in this case, it gets the name from the startup.xml file and luckily I changed <name> to something else
Out of interest Steve, did you enter Mitsuku into the divabots test? I can’t enter Uberbot as he (she?) is a little bit shy and doesn’t live on the Pandorabots server anyway. I am trying to persuade him to enter the Loebner prize but I am not sure if he wants to. Still we are working on it.
