Kriza's AI is based on certain keywords in your responses, so if you're having a difficult conversation you can try looking inside the project and using the list of keywords as a guide.
(Yes, I know that most of the conversations kinda fail... this isn't supposed to be completely pwnage or anything. If your conversations are very dull, try downloading the project and checking the keywords list.) Kriza is a chatbot that operates by scanning for keywords and producing an appropriate response. Sort of like Eliza - you should really check out Jens's version of it http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/Jens/558634 - it's a good chatbot that operates in the same way. You can ask Kriza about some of her favorite items - try asking her what her favorite book is, for instance. Kriza operates very slowly, since she has to scan text for 75 keywords. To make her run faster, download the project and run it in Turbo Speed. If you want her to REALLY RUN FASTER, delete the text sprite and THEN run the project in Turbo Speed - it runs so fast that you don't need to be told what's going on, anyway. A conversation I've had with her - she's not as good at chatting as a real person, but who cares: Kriza: Hi! I'm Kriza. What's up? Me: Hi Kriza! How are you doing? Kriza: Hmm... :/ Me: Come on, you should know. :P Kriza: I'm actually rather dull - let's talk about you. Me: Oh, fine. I went to an art class today - what do you think? Kriza: What's that? Me: An art class is a place where you do art stuff... do you like art? Kriza: Is what? Me: Oh, nevermind. I shouldn't expect a chatbot to understand. :P Kriza: Yeah, yeah, whatever... Me: *laughs* Do you like cake? Kriza: Hey, are you attacking me? Me: I was just curious, sorry... Kriza: Oh, cool! :) Me: Did you know that I'm probably going to release you tomorrow? Kriza: That? Me: Hmph, you don't understand. Whatever. Hey, have you heard of Scratch? Kriza: What exactly do you have? Me: Um... whatever, this isn't really getting anywhere. Kriza: Eh? :P Me: You know, you actually seem better to chat to than Jens's Eliza. :D Kriza: Eliza? Ah, my competitor. *laughs* Did you see Jens's version of Eliza? Pretty good... but of course, I'm better - right? *winks* Me: Ooh, you actually know something!!! :D :D :D But I programmed you, so I knew that you knew that... Kriza: Okay... is that a compliment? Me: I'm actually not sure. :/ Kriza: That's nice! :) Me: :/ Well, I'll be going... bye! Kriza: Bye... Enjoy chatting! :D Jonathanpb
