Version 5.28 Details

A new button has been added to the option menu to rename the AI, the new default name for the AI is Adam. The name of the AI will be saved in the saved brain file itself.

In the last version "Restore default core" was meant to added to the end of "Check brain". This version fixes that. In this update and the last updated certain elements of the self recognition and context correction systems were added to the saved brain files apart of the AICore.

Different form of dialect exists in English, so old English has been added to the self recognition system. Now the AI will recognize when you ask about itself in these particular ways. For example "Has thou been to town?" or "Has thou armed thyself?".

The addition of old English to the self recognition will allow game creators to flow better when training the AI by chatting to it for a game with and old English style of language.

Remember the self recognition and context correction is a beta system and is turned off by default. To turn it on click "Use self question detection" in the "Options" tab. This will allow the AI to recognize itself when talking to it.

More conversation has been added to the default guide brain file that loads when the program loads for the first time. Conversation about newer feature have been added along with general conversation. With the new rename features, the AI will now give you an explanation on how to rename it if asked its name.

Version 5.27 Summery

Features added or changed:
  • Adjusted display of data.
  • Further adjustments to the BETA conversation context adjustments system.
  • Fixed a number of mistakes in the default guide brain file.
  • Adjusted the weight of the default guide brain responses to questions.
  • Bug fixed: an error with check brain.
  • Free subscription for chat server hosts up until 01/01/2023 added.

  • When updating to the latest save format, you will be asked if you want to restore the default AICore.
Subscriber features added or changed:
  • Adjusted search options and view modes.
  • Added "Adding Mode" and "Average Mode" to load and merge.

Version 5.27 Details

Further adjustments have been made to how the data is displayed in AIChat to be more efficient, increasing speed by reducing the amount of unneeded data that is being displaying in real time.

The beta self recognition and conversation context adjustments system have had a minor tweak to help improve conversation, the system is still in beta and is turned off by default, it can be turned on by clicking "Use Self Question Detection" under the option tab.

The beta conversational context system has also been rewritten to avoid double adjustments from "You" to "I" and back to "You" again. This problem normally happened when to context system found two things close together, converting "Im guessing..." to "You would think...", then it would convert the "You" back to "I" resulting in "I would think...".

Although the beta system for the recognition of itself and context reference adjustment of a conversation is still quite new, the adjustments to that system will hopefully make it more accurate and stable, parts of the system still need further adjustments, as references of who is speak may still have small complexities that need to be ironed out.

When updating to the latest save format, you will be asked if you want to restore the default AICore, if you are not using a modified AICore, this is highly recommended. Certain self recognition features are built into the AICore and this will update them and fix context problem that maybe happening.
The search feature available to subscribers now automatically sets view mode back to the "Normal View" mode, a view mode such as "Empty Folders" can be applied to a search.

Although currently the perspective corrections in the AICore are not in the subscriber menu to edit currently, it is intended that they later will be added to this menu for subscribers to further edit more of the default core adjustments and responses. The AICore deals with the new information and how to handle it, and will later have others languages when closer to completion.

Edit the default guide brain file that loads on startup to not have such a heavy bias towards what it knows about itself when it come to guiding a user about itself, to allow a user to out teach it default responses. This will show a much smaller amount of total responses when checking the database size.

The check brain button is used to update brain files to the latest save format and fix errors in a saved brain files, this is automatically run when a file is loaded. When there is no files or folders in the currently loaded brain, this procedure would cause an error, this is now fixed. This bug was a minor issue an does not cause any problems other than displaying an error.

Added two load and merge features, one mode adds all the file weight together, the other mode finds the average of the weight between the file loaded and the file selected to merge with it.

A free subscription is available for anyone hosting an AIChat server on the BYOND network. Hosting on the BYOND network is free for everyone! Subscribers will have access to the subscriber tab in the menu where a user can edit the AIcore to develop unique default AI responses, searching features allowing users quicker access to specific files and folders, load and merge allowing users to create even smart brains files from two or more AI brains files, and the ability to further edit other AI options.

AI Self Recognition

Although it is still in beta the self recognition system of AdamAIChat is able to tell the context of a conversation and can recognize when the user is referring to the AI directly.

In a step towards sentient artificial intelligent chat conversation, AdamAIChat is now able to recognize itself in conversation and is able to adjust inputs to the correct the context on who is referring to who.

Just like how AdamAIChat is able to take key words from the conversation and detect the between questions and statements, the AI core can now detect when the users is referring to to the artificial intelligence it is chatting to.

With a totally new blank brain file, if the user asks the artificial intelligence "How are you?" , the artificial intelligence is able to not only able to understand if the input is question or a statement, but also if it asked about and the context of reference, the difference between "you or I".

The artificial intelligence will respond with a specific phrases based on advanced psychological conversation principles, pushing the user to respond in a specific way to add data to the artificial intelligence.

When the artificial intelligent has detected when it is referred to the artificial intelligent is able to adjust the different perspective between "you" and "I" in the conversation and record adjusted responses based on the perspective of the conversation.

This add a more human feel to the conversation, especially when building new brain files. Older brain files are less likely to use the AICore because of the already recorded responses. 

Although this beta feature in AdamAIChat is currently not enable by default and must be enabled due to unfinished context changes, this feature add towards artificial intelligent sentience in chat form.
