This is a good candidate for a new topic, but it seems related to this discussion.
Is an alicebot clone, (like the one in my last post) which is 98% of the original,
but uses 0% of the XML schema called AIML, still considered an AIML bot?
Good question. Is what makes a bot in the architecture or in the behavior?
Assuming the bot learns the same way Alice does and always reacts the same way, then I’d call it a clone. But then, this implies that a bot that behaves just like a human would be a human “clone”, even if it’s architecture is quite different. Interesting implications to ponder.
