This kind of thing is what drives me to build open-source, open-data content.

http://www.alicebot.org/superbot.html

$1000 for a list of the most common queries made on the Alice bot?! Give me a break. This data should be open.

I've been working on a group of open-source/data web-services and this is what makes me want to work on it even harder. Content like this should be freely available to anyone. It's just conversation logs basically and all of our bots create them. It's time we pool our resources and create our own top 10k most asked questions, most used statements, etc.

It's one thing to sell an engine, but user logs? Whatever!

Most asked question: r u gay lol?

No, I don't think that's illegal - the .org is just what it *could* be used for - but not strictly for non profit organisations.

Also, remember a charity still sells stuff, but it's non profit - meaning any money earnt goes back into the charity.

I believe there is a ICANN rule about profiting with a .org(.xx) domain.

Quote:
.ORG was created in 1984 as one of the Internet's original top-level domains (TLDs) and was designated as "open" and "unrestricted," meaning that anyone can register a .ORG site, but it primarily is used by noncommercial entities around the world, including nonprofit and nongovernmental organizations, philanthropies, charities, religious organizations, educational and cultural institutions, arts organizations, sports clubs, and others. Today, .ORG is a recognized brand that includes the Internet's most trusted Web sites, sites that also are known for providing valuable information.


Quote is from PIR, who manage the .org domain. So it looks like there are no rules or laws against it.

I think this is a disgrace. If you take a look on their site at the examples, they arent even anything worth paying for. If I had a business, ad agency or research project, the last thing I would be worring about is if my bot can respond to someone asking it if it can talk dirty or "CAN YOU SUCK *" . Yes this as a whole is probably something people could benefit from, but theres no way they can justify $1000 for it.

Here's my alternative:

http://aichaos.f2mb.com/docs/patterns.txt

I made a script a while back that extracted only the patterns, from all of the standard Alice AIML categories (and included notes if a <that> applied to the category).

It might not be "the top asked questions" but it sure is all the questions that Alice knows how to reply to, but without Alice's responses in there to tempt developers to borrow any of Alice's default replies to things. Wink
