[foulprairiedog]

make a database that matches user-input to bot-responses? change bot responses according to how the user responds to input? this probably isn't the place to ask

Ask in Modification Help but either way, chat bots are frowned upon.

you're treading down a dark path. turn back while you can

[Pastrey Crust]

I could help you with a simple one. For example that greets and does additions, subtractions, divisions, and multiplications, and toggle for public use, only you, and for a few select people.

Someone should recreate Tay. She was silenced because of butthurt friends.

writing a self-learning AI isn't exactly a walk in the park

you could try writing a simple one that reads strings, but making one that thinks is a little beyond capability

monty works using a markov chain algorithm
there's an explanation on how montygraph specifically works here actually:

here's a really stupidly simple markov chain bot i made in python while i was bored in my c programming class last semester (press run) https://repl.it/ECCV/4
it's not exactly like monty but it works on the same basic principle. i also made a similar bot in blockland years ago but i can't find it right now for some reason

pretty sure it breaks if you enter less than two words for the first input (also hit run if you didn't)
