An idea:
To make Alice more human like, we could modify AIML to, to some extent, swap
words with synonyms at random. In this way, replies would not be so
predictable and boring. (who should I tell this to?). It should be able to
be implemented quite easily, I think, but would probably involve changing
the actual language or how it is compiled. How is it compiled? Which program
does the processing?
