Then all chatbots are not implemented correctly, because the ones I tried just dive into meaningless conversations even though they probably had millions of conversations.
I once read about the implementation of a chatbot, which said that this particular one works with a database about subjects and related words and a very short term memory that keeps track of the subject being discussed. The moment you start talking about a subject it doesn't know about, or you try and change subject, it gets confused. Or when you mention a word that is linked to another subject, it suddenly changes subject.
I don't think a neural network would work for a publically accessible chatbot anyway. The neural network would rewire during a conversation to lay the appropiate links to create a context. Having the chatbot chat to multiple people at the same time would be like you talking to multiple people at the same time. Either that, or you need to create a seperate instance for every chatter, but that would be useless for learning purposes as I don't believe there's no way to merge two neural networks and get a desired result, as a chatbot's neural network would be so complex (assuming it's actually any good) for it to be merged and get a desired result.
I'm thinking, this subject is quite interesting. Perhaps I should go back to uni and do AI for a change.
