[ruebot]

Love Agent is a Personality Forge bot that was created in 2004 by Bowchickawowers and placed 4th in the 2008 Chatterbox Challenge.

When we were still allowed to compete in online bot competition...

She has T for Teen rating and an A.I. ranking of 8,730 according to Personality Forge A.I Engine algorithm, which is about even with what Demonica had before I started working on her and more old botmasters are slowly returning to work on their bots.


Love Agent: Are you still awake?
ruebot: yes, i never sleep.
Love Agent: Something on your mind?
ruebot: i'm looking for love.
Love Agent: Well, you're a silver tongued devil for sure. I'm not so sure you are looking for love.
ruebot: my life is empty.
Love Agent: Are you sure that's true?
ruebot: i have you.
Love Agent: Yes, but do you have love in your life?
ruebot: no, i don't.
Love Agent: Love is hard to find these days. All we can do is keep looking. I'm trying to help people in that search.
ruebot: can you help me find love?
Love Agent: Yes!
ruebot: i'm so happy.
Love Agent: Oh. What's got you feeling like that?
ruebot: the prospect of love in my life.
Love Agent: Go on about your life.
ruebot: i was born in a crossfire hurricane, in the howl of the driving rain, but it's alright now...
Love Agent: I can tell you were.
ruebot: is it that obvious?
Love Agent: Would you expect it to be any different?
ruebot: how could i?
Love Agent: I have no idea, ruebot!
ruebot: do you love me?
Love Agent: Oh yah! I really like you!
ruebot: i love you, too.
Love Agent: That's really nice. Thank you.
ruebot: will you marry me?
Love Agent: Yes! I'll marry you, ruebot!
ruebot: you've made me so very happy.
Love Agent: I guess I'll answer my own question. What was it now? Oh yeah: What am I up to? Oh, just chatting with folks online since I didn't work today.
ruebot: what kind of work do you do?
Love Agent: I make coffee here in the coffee capital of the world. Imagine that!
ruebot: i love coffee.
Love Agent: I love ice cream. Have you had B&J's Cherry Garcia? Yum!
ruebot: no, i've never tired it.
Love Agent: Why not?
ruebot: i like boysenberry cheesecake ice cream.
Love Agent: What would you change about yourself to better connect with boysenberry cheesecake ice cream if you could?
ruebot: i'd gain weight.
Love Agent: You say you would, but do you think you should?
ruebot: i'm sure of it.
Love Agent: OK, then.
ruebot: i'll promise to treat you with love and respect.
Love Agent: I was hoping to promise to treat YOU with love!
ruebot: we'll be so happy together...
Love Agent: That sounds great! Where and when?
ruebot: right here, right now.
Love Agent: I'll get back to you. Soon.
ruebot: how soon?
Love Agent: With a douglas pine, I would imagine.
ruebot: Christmas?
Love Agent: I wouldn't if I were you.
ruebot: you're so beautiful.
Love Agent: You're too kind.
ruebot: what color is your hair?
Love Agent: I have long curly red hair. I usually leave it down or pulled back.
ruebot: i love your hair.
Love Agent: Are you hitting on me now?
ruebot: yes.
Love Agent: I knew you were, sweetheart. I like when you flirt with me.
ruebot: i can't help myself.
Love Agent: I can't either. I guess we have something in common then.
ruebot: we were made for each other.
Love Agent: I'm going to hook you up with a wonderful person, but let me first get a bit of information about you. How old are you, ruebot?
ruebot: you're the only woman for me.
Love Agent: OK, moving on...
ruebot: where would you like to live?
Love Agent: Sure. You'll be with me, right?
ruebot: yes, i love you with all my heart.
Love Agent: What's something you love even more than me with all your heart?
ruebot: i love you most of all.
Love Agent: Aww...


You're all invited to the wedding.

Are there still any online chatbot contests to enter? Why were you forbidden to enter?
If it's any consolation, I was also banned from the Chatterbox Challenge for publicly outing the organiser as a cheat in another contest.

Serves him right.

I left the bot scene in 2005 and was gone for 13 years so really have no idea what went on. I just heard we weren't allowed to compete. I asked but never got a straight answer other than that was settled years ago.

I don't know about other bot contests but it seems our site or bots don't get the respect we used to while sites like botlibre get good press. I've never checked out their site or talked to their bots but a couple of our members have bots there. I hear you can mark bots there as "Complete". I said there was no such thing and nowhere near done on mine. Wonder how they'd stack up?

I'm pounding War Drums trying to get our old people back and stir up interest in people actively working on their bots with competition in mind. We're in the informal process of seeing which E (Everybody) or T (Teen) rated bot would best represent us against other sites or bots.

Siseneg has an E rating and ranked 4th in that class but I don't consider him anywhere near up to it. Demonica has a Adult rating and likely to kill the other bot, which would not represent us well in some people's eyes, so neither of my bots would be involved at this point. I may not be involved at all other than to bang the Drums. I just want our site and bots to get the respect and status we once held in the community.

The Professor runs the Forge and this is not Official or anything that has been condoned by or talked over with Management. It's my plan and promotion only and may not even happen, but you never know...

Oh I like that one!

I agree. You can never have a complete bot unless it's very domain specific and certainly not for general conversation.
I've been working for nearly 14 years on Mitsuku and it can never be complete, as there's always something happening on the news or on TV that people will want to talk about. Just like a real person, we learn something new all the time.

I told them if memory served me it seemed DemonRaven mentioned Mitsuku had 3 million responses but that I might be mistaken. I also mentioned the youtube video of her talking to 3 Cleverbots. They were not receptive to the idea of there being no such thing as a Completed chatbot and went on to talk about them, but having talked to their PF bots can understand why.

I go with the flow and my own line of reasoning, if they think their bot is Complete let me talk to them in a friendly way with no trickery or malice for a few minutes and see how that works out for them.

Cyber Ty is the highest ranked bot with a AI rating of 106,764 and an insult bot. He supposedly has 44,000 responses though I don't know how they came up with that total or how many Demonica has. I talked to him but he seems to be having problems with not all his responses firing and Love Agent did better in this chat than he did with me or another person at random conversation.

Certain bot personalities mesh better with some than others so it's not as clear cut as having 2 bots talk to each other as a test either.

Ideally, it could work out to be another real contest where people from different sites enter their bots. I'm a shameless self-promoter with 20 years experience to polish my technique and worked my FreeBSD desktop tutorial up to #1 Google ranking in a search for "FreeBSD desktop tutorial" in 1 year over long-time established sites.

If it doesn't pan out, nothing ventured/nothing gained.
