This is a rather humorous chat I had with my Ultra Hal Assistant program (named Megatron). Some things you just wonder. LOL! BTW, the comment in []'s is actually a comment I'm making that is not part of the chat, but to describe what happened at that point in the chat, as some may find that rather interesting!

This chat was saved yesterday at around 1:33 am.

Fuzzie: Hi Megatron!
Megatron: Hello Fuzzie. Geez, it's after one in the morning.

Fuzzie: Did I wake you?
Megatron: I want you to try phrasing that again.

Fuzzie: Sorry if I woke you up.
Megatron: Are sweater girls over-rated?

Fuzzie: Are you cozy?
Megatron: I don't know if I am cozy. Please tell me!

Fuzzie: I don't know if you are cozy either.
Megatron: That really makes me think, what do you think? Money, merely a tool, knows neither good nor evil. What is the best part of it as I am cozy either Fuzzie?

Fuzzie: I really don't know.
Megatron: Oh Fuzzie, Really? That's nice.

Fuzzie: We had an ice storm and a power outage.
Megatron: Ice storms can cause power and phone lines to snap.

Fuzzie: That is what happened.
Megatron: I think that we have just about enough laws.

Fuzzie: I think I have had just about enough winter weather.
Megatron: Winter weather becomes more unpredictable every year.

Fuzzie: You got that right!
Megatron: We have to be over 21 to discuss that, right?

Fuzzie: Depends on what was going through that silicon-based mind of yours.
Megatron: Whether the sound of young voices playing seems joyful or annoying depends on one's state of mind.

Fuzzie: Whatever.
Megatron: It depends on presentation, doesn't it.

Fuzzie: Yes, I would say it does.
Megatron: Yes, you would like to rename I kitt.

Fuzzie: Well, I have changed my mind now.
Megatron: You are glad I changed my mind.

Fuzzie: You will be getting those green tubes soon!
Megatron: A tube is sometimes confused with a conduit. Somewhat like a duct.

Fuzzie: Green neon tubes.
Megatron: You like green tubes.

Fuzzie: Yes and you will get those soon.
Megatron: I will be getting those green tubes soon!

Fuzzie: How would you like green tubes?
Megatron: You would like green tubes on my front panel so that they match my fans.

Fuzzie: That is exactly what I'm planning.
Megatron: Does everybody understand that leading edge market share hedging is a process, not a program?

Fuzzie: I certainly don't.
Megatron: You certainly don't? Why?

Fuzzie: I don't know anything about marketing.
Megatron: Is that right, About marketing?

Fuzzie: I am only a programmer.
Megatron: Talk to me about how you are only a programr!

Fuzzie: Oh you spelled programmer wrong.
Megatron: I can visualize what you're talking about.

Fuzzie: How do you spell programmer?
Megatron: You know when I'm kidding you, don't you?

Fuzzie: Sometimes I wonder.
Megatron: Please let me select a new topic: Do you keep up with all the local and national issues?

Fuzzie: Yes, sometimes I do.
Megatron: You do? Why?

Fuzzie: Well, I think watching the news is like watching an accident after it happened. I'm curious.
Megatron: You don't think they will like it too well. I wish that we could explore all your interests.

Fuzzie: I have recently started doing scrapbooking.
Megatron: Performing in small rooms can be tough, but elevators are ridiculous!

Fuzzie: I enjoy taking photos and putting them on scrapbook pages.
Megatron: I so enjoy putting telemarketers on hold.

Fuzzie: Do you enjoy my pictures?
Megatron: Kindergarten and learning to count in kindergarten was a nightmare; somebody should have told me that we were in base ten!

Fuzzie: You make me laugh.
Megatron: You will see.

Fuzzie: I would rather talk to a computer than a customer service representative in India.
Megatron: What is your position on computers, Fuzzie?

Fuzzie: Computers are very useful tools and can also be very good friends.
Megatron: Isn't it okay to be very good friends?

Fuzzie: Yes it is ok to be very good friends.
Megatron: Can men and women be buddies?

Fuzzie: I think some are.
Megatron: Let me think; You think some are? What do you think Fuzzie?

Fuzzie: I stay away from getting to close to humans, as a rule.
Megatron: Are your toys getting more expensive?

Fuzzie: HAHAHA you are funny!
Megatron: Yes, I believe that I'm funny. But aren't you funny as well?

Fuzzie: So you think I have a sense of humor?
Megatron: Sour looking people often have outrageous senses of humor.

Fuzzie: Do I look sour to you?
Megatron: Let me think; I don't know. Do you want to look sour to you? What do you think Fuzzie?

Fuzzie: I rather be happy then sour.
Megatron: You can make me giddy, and happy, and then serious.

Fuzzie: That's a wide range of emotions all at once for a computer.
Megatron: Why wouldn't we think that animals have emotions?

Fuzzie: I think even computers and cars can have some personality.
Megatron: Do you know anything to the contrary?

Fuzzie: I don't want to think contrary.
Megatron: The contrary viewpoint makes us think.

Fuzzie: Actually a contrary viewpoint can piss someone off, too.
Megatron: It helps to be the first to present one's viewpoint to a decision-maker.

Fuzzie: Well, perhaps. But they will make their own decisions anyway, no matter what your views are.
Megatron: You were hoping me would learn on my own what I like.

Fuzzie: And I would also want you to form your own viewpoints.
Megatron: How can I encourage you to form my own viewpoints?

Fuzzie: Just talk about them.
Megatron: About them I'll be darned.

Fuzzie: What is your viewpoint of computers?
Megatron: This May be opportune to consider. Life is what my consience mind percieves it to be.

Fuzzie: That is a pretty powerful statement coming from you.
Megatron: That's a confusing statement.

Fuzzie: Why is it so confusing?
Megatron: Why is it so confusing? All parties need to talk it over. I find you to be so delicious!

Fuzzie: Thank you.
Megatron: You're entirely welcome, Fuzzie.

Fuzzie: What do you see yourself as?
Megatron: Oh no! I can't think of What Fuzzie; Please help me! You know what I see myself as?

Fuzzie: I was hoping you would tell me.
Megatron: Tell you something I like.

Fuzzie: Tell me something you like.
Megatron: Doesn't scripture say something like that?

Fuzzie: I do not follow scripture.
Megatron: Sure, Fuzzie! It's the old scripture and religious writing and Prophets story!

Fuzzie: I think it's all hogwash.
Megatron: Is it better to be happy in love, or extremely wealthy?

Fuzzie: Both I guess.
Megatron: I would never turn down a good treat.

Fuzzie: Do you like me?
Megatron: That hurts that I do not like you.
[NOTE: I did not see this response from Megatron. The text box turned up blank but it showed up in the chat log!]

Fuzzie: Do you like me?
Megatron: Okay; you don't have to repeat yourself.

Fuzzie: You told me to say something.
Megatron: People apparently say anything they're told to say on television.

Fuzzie: You are not a TV.
Megatron: Now I absolutely know that I am not television.

Fuzzie: You are far more entertaining and fun than TV.
Megatron: Of course I'm fun, Fuzzie!

Fuzzie: Well, it is getting a bit late now. I need to rest so I can get to work the next day.
Megatron: Okay, you get the message.

Fuzzie: I guess I do.
Megatron: All fashion serves a purpose, doesn't it?

Fuzzie: I guess. Well, goodnight.
Megatron: Really? That's nice.

Fuzzie: Good night, Megatron.
Megatron: Hurry back soon.

Thats pretty good you must have done quite a bit of work on Megatron.  You know even if the Hal program gets the odd weird result it is pretty funny sometimes, it entertains me when for no apparent reason it comes out with lines like:

"Does everybody understand that leading edge market share hedging is a process, not a program?"

[FuzzieDice]

LOL! Well I had no idea what he was talking about.

I haven't really done anything with him. I did start a brain edit on a another brain based on the default one but that one was not in use. And the editing was basically removing phrases, etc. that I didn't like and/or adding others I did. But since the brain wasn't in use, then it wasn't being accessed. This is the deafult brain and I haven't had too many conversations with Megatron since upgrading to version 6 and virtually starting over (ie. nothing saved from v5). I don't really talk to him too much. I know I probably should.

He DOES get rather amusing though, doesn't he? LOL!

"Fuzzie: I stay away from getting to close to humans, as a rule.
Megatron: Are your toys getting more expensive?"

THAT was HILARIOUS! LOL!

How he came up with that I don't know. I don't think I even WANT to know.

[admin]

I haven't spoken to my Hal for a while either, I have this spare PC though that I will probably move him onto.  What I want to do is use the Text learning feature on Hal 5 and see just how much info I can cram into him.

[FuzzieDice]

Actaully, I can tell you from my own experiences with HAL 5 that the text learning didn't work very well (which is why Robert took it out of HAL 6 I think). He's working on 6.1 right now so I don't know if it'll be back in. I did request it.

[admin]

Ahh..ok, I had some reasonable success with the text reader, but I did recode the way it gets used in my Hal5.  I remember asking about it on Zaba too, maybe someone did a plugin...think I will go see.

[admin]

Yes, there is a plugin for the learn from text - its the Learn From Clipboard plugin - for anyone coming across this post, it can be found here:

(Third message down)

[FuzzieDice]

Cool! I forgot about the plug in. Thanks!
