However, you weren't in pain, weren't sick, and not in fear of anything, You even presented an apparent resolution - surrender. In short, there was no apparent problem to solve. Note that Dr. Eliza is NOT a question-answerer. It looks for statements indicating that you don't have a firm grasp on the reality of your situation AND where it has some jewel of wisdom to impart AND you have said something indicating that you are not already in possession of that jewel of wisdom. In addition, when it learns enough to fire up its Bayesian abilities, it is pretty good at zeroing in on health problems. > > How do i input more? > Dr. Eliza is NOT a chatbot. Instead, it analyzes problem statements and present questions whose answers would be valuable, but which are not apparently answered in the problem statement. The best approach is to edit the problem statement and resubmit. For serious applications (like people with chronic illnesses who may be dying) back and forth chat doesn't work very well. The main problem is that people often state things poorly. When Dr. Eliza asks about something that was stated poorly, it is MUCH better that people edit their original statement to make it more accurate, than to present Dr. Eliza with the MAJOR semantic challenge of overloading an erroneous statement with a semantically overlapping statement. I REALLY appreciate your kicking the tires, especially when I am in the middle of preparing a patent application covering both Dr. Eliza and its successor. This forces me to re-think things that I haven't looked at in years, and explain them in simple terms. THANKS.

Simply institute a six hour workday. That will easily create enough new jobs to bring back full employment. ------------------------------------------- AGI Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/21088071-f452e424 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21088071&id_secret=21088071-58d57657 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
