Me: Who is the Pope?
Bot: Pope is John Paul E

Should this have gone to Wikipedia?

[chung]

i have added some commands  say 'help'  'vars'  'resetvars'   ''randomize'  and say 'wiki  +keywords' to launch a wiki search
and updated chatbot data

added also some pretty women avatars 3D

"Should this have gone to Wikipedia?" asked squarebear.

Sure, why not?  That's as good a test as any. The subject of the post says simple chatbot.  Wait a minute...  Why would you care if a simple chatbot went to Wikipedia? Sounds like you were impressed, if you ask me.

Hey, take a look at this.  I think that web based 3D avatar is really, pretty cool.

I certainly like it, Chung.  Your project is a success!

Why would you care if a simple chatbot went to Wikipedia? Sounds like you were impressed, if you ask me.

The original post gave me the impression that the bot could search Wikipedia for answers to questions. I gave it a question where the answer was on Wikipedia. Instead of doing so, it gave an incorrect answer. I'm not sure how that makes you think I was impressed.

Oh, thanks for clearing that up for me.
I thought you might've been impressed
by the 3D avatar...

I pulled that demo up in Chrome and
the avatar was doing animated visemes
(lip postures) in 3D.  And it was blinking
too.  It's head rotates, side to side in 3D.

That's a nice accomplishment.

John paul was one of the popes just not the current one.  Perhaps being more specific would help.

[squarebear]

"Who is the Pope?" seemed specific enough to me. If someone asked me "Who is the President of the USA?", I wouldn't say Abe Lincoln. I am unaware of any Pope called "John Paul E"

Correct Squarebear. And of course the correct answer would or should have been, Pope Francis or Jorge Bergoglio for the win!

That was an excellent test to do, squarebear.
When I read Raven's response it occurred to me...
The response was still a good one, though.
I think many people wouldn't've got that.
Only a few like, Art, would've for the win.

Wow, I didn't know github can host a chatbot!

Check this low poly version out!
