Chat Bots

     I love knock knock jokes. They are horrible in every way and very fun to tell. There is one thing better then telling knock knock jokes, making a bot tell knock knock jokes for you.

   

What is a Chat Bot?

    A chat bot is a very simple program that Chats. It moves along a tree of options called a flow giving you choices along the way. When you choose something it gives you some more information and more options then asks you something else. 

My Bot

    As you might have guessed I made a bot that tells Knock Knock jokes. Below are two different versions one made using ChatFuel and the other in python.



 My python bot asks if you want to here a joke then tells one to you but you have to be very specific in your response or it breaks. It only knows one joke because I was trying to make it quickly so I could move on to the next bot.
My second wonderful bot knows not one, not two, not three, not four,
not five,
but six full knock knock jokes (more may be added later). It asks if you want to hear a joke then picks one at random to tell. It then asks if you want to hear another looping until you say no. If you want to try out this bot you can see it on the GSSE 2024 knock knock joke Facebook page.



Issues with Chatbots

    There are a couple of issues with Chatbots the main of which being you have to individually make each response so if someone asks a question you don't know the response to everything fails. This is made worse when you have options to select from as people may be forced to search through many options when the information they are looking for is not on the bot.

June 10: How to make a rock (using Onshape)

3D printing and my experience with it      I have a decent amount of experience with 3D printing, I own a printer and have made a bunch of models. I have printed replacement pieces for board games, stencils for D&D battle maps. Whenever there is a problem that requires a small plastic piece of very specific parameters I can make a solution. At one point the band had water bottles whose handles would snap off every other second so I went and made a file for replacement. It is safe to say that in any practical situation I can make something. There is one thing I have no clue how to do, and that is make something completely impractical, so incredibly pointless that it exist for the shear fact that it exist. Today I made a rock. A quick discussion on the concept of rocks      Rocks do not have a reason to exist, they did not decide that they wanted to be, they simply are. Rocks are not uniform they do not attempt to be perfect in any way, a rock that is a p...

June 6: Pseudoscience

Is SETI Pseudoscience?      Today in stem in society we broke out in to groups to discuss whether or not SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) is real Science or Pseudoscience. Our group was composed Roju Miller, Amelia Northam, Elsie Sheumaker, and Me, Austin Newman.      We used the following sites to build our discussion This is SETI's description on what they do.  https://www.seti.org/primer-seti-seti-institute   This is an article from Nasa about the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.  https://astrobiology.nasa.gov/news/technosignatures-and-the-search-for-extraterrestrial-intelligence/    This article is a debate on whether or not Fermi's paradox is disprovable and why SETI may be useful.  https://www.universetoday.com/139467/new-model-predicts-that-were-probably-the-only-advanced-civilization-in-the-observable-universe/#google_vignette     An article about a new experiment from SETI  https:...

Are CAFOs Ethical

Concentration Animal Feeding Operations or CAFOs are a way of farming animals by smushing them in to small spaces where they can barely move as much as turn around. In these horrible operations the animals are fed horribly and are mainly sustained on anti biotics. But are they Ethical???? Yes totally absolutely ethical 100 percent for real (for the record I was forced to take up this position) and here is why: It is efficient. In order to keep the same output we would have to use thousands times more land. Factory farmed cows produce less methane so if you think about it CAFO's are saving the planet. CAFO's cause cancer,... Which is actually a good thing because if more people get cancer then more people will be on the verge of death and resort to experimental treatment. If more people take experimental treatment it will become better until eventually we will have a cure. They are the only way we can get the meat production that we currently have in the US. If we were to shut d...
