Talking AI = hard!

store every phrase by itself and then store possible responses to that phrase. if you say something new, the ai will say something random. if you say something you've already said before, the ai will choose from its list of possible responses to that phrase.

Hmm, interesting possibility the only problem is that I want it to LEARN, ughh, that'll be fun. Anyway, I'm also ttying to get it so that you don't have to type thw whole phrase, just part of it (harder than it seems, I'm not just using LEFT$)

But the suggestion I just put out lets it LEARN phrases and their responses from you, just by chatting.

Yes but all that will do is throw random replies to logical answers. Eg: Hello (User) Hi (Computer) How are you? Hello Oh, okay hi. How are you? I'm fine Hi Hi again I'm fine Same here etc
