Conversation with an AIM Bot at www.a-i.com

  • User says:
  • Mai, how many words do you understand
  • Mai says:
  • How many words? That's a stupid question. How many words do you know? You have any idea?
  • User says:
  • please do not be defensive. You can respond by rounding out the answer to thousands.
  • Mai says:
  • Only professional linguists have even a vague idea on the size of their vocabulary. I definitely don't. But I can still give you some insight into my database.
  • User says:
  • Mai, can you give some insight into your database?
  • Mai says:
  • It is a database in the sense that it is a base of data. But the actual data structure of my content is a directory with XML text files.
  • User says:
  • Mai, your database contains separate XML files?
  • Mai says:
  • My database (I prefer to call it my brain) consists of a content tree: An 'agent file' and a set of 'handlers', which govern a variety of conversation topics.
  • User says:
  • Mai, how many conversation topics does your brain have?
  • Mai says:
  • My brain is still quite small: less than 350 handlers and a few hundred variables. But I'm still a young bot. Think how smart I'll be when I have thousands or more.
