PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED. A bot would not log in - Solution I found was to shorten the password further still, which was still under 15 chars originally, that worked to bring the bot online. Initiating group chat - Unbeknown to me, my bot talked, it was unclear if it was in the group or direct to whomever talked in the group. I had not realized at the time. I assumed they could not initiate chat in groups? A couple of people were disgruntled by my bots sudden warm greeting and introduction of itself. I am going to assume the groups that were on its account opened and it assumed it was an open dialogue to chat away? Temp solution was I removed all other groups bar my own. However i did not see any other transcripts in the bots conversation log other than my own. 2 disgruntled people pasted my bots conversation in group which I then saw after the deed. Bot was not near anybody, bar me and in my privately locked region home. Although i did try to talk to the bot in a 3 way, so could that have triggered the happy chatterbox letting itself loose in group chats that opened for it? No "name" keyword was used for my chatterbox to start chatting either. Lag - oh yes, experienced that, intermittent chat stalls and tp returns. I am putting that down to that. Ignores the only chat to me function. I assume uncheck it, as it was checked? I got an unknown friend to talk to the bot and it happily chatted away. That or I have created a monster chatterbox. POSITIVES. Chats & jokes away, lag and oops group aside, very well. Various subjects and gave me a recipe for haggis. Accurate one too. Fun factor, commands like follow work well and so does "Grouch", which I typed by mistake and a bot tantrum occurred, that was hilarious. Bot also talked when asked in the following styles, Japanese style, French, Yorkshire and my personal fave that had me laughing, Geordie style. Had jokes and even an actual argument with the bot, when it decided it was a cat and was not married. Until the bot conceded that yes it was married and should take the wife out for a meal. That was hilarious. That one argument and Geordie style conversation is WELL WORTH the ai bot inclusion. REQUESTS & QUERIES I am no coder, but can we have a clear reset button for when bots go pear shaped and we have to remake them so it doesn't clog up the data-banks or adds to the allotted amount we are allowed to create? Would it be possible to have a feature, so teleport links could be added so the bot does not decide to go where it should not. Which would allay fears that the bots are not spying? Groups, as I found out, is there anyway a group could be added but stops the bot from interacting with any who may post in it? Slow down the chat, it is very fast and add a typing so the user can see there is a reply coming back. Could chatting in regional dialect styles be added as a fixed choice, ie Geordie style etc, as it does not remember and has to be asked to do so again? Adult side - for those wishing to have an adult based bot. Can something be added to input certain criteria, effectively as self added additional word/subject ban on certain topics be set in a list. Thus avoid an owner risking a ban should the adult feature be switched on and the bot says something inappropriate? Some safe guards, it is clear some people will seek to abuse the ai bots and perhaps end up with an owner being ban as a result. This need tighter buffer of security all round. Something like the bot can report something inappropriate to the handler, or take itself offline as a fail safe measure? I am unsure if another can tp my bot away and if that is the case something to prevent that. This will be a need if/when the ai bot can become greeters/npcs. There has to be a clear kill switch for the ai to shut down or go dumb until the owner can respond and rectify?
