[alicebot-general] Patent on "Emotional Emulation"

[Kris Schnee]

"Patent #7,089,218:
"Method for inclusion of psychological temperament in an electronic 
emulation of the human brain
"This invention incorporates temperament, emotion, feeling, personality 
and prior experiences to accurately emulate a human's thought and 
decision processes. Without these, it is highly unlikely that any system 
or neural network can accurately emulate real human beings . . . Unlike 
other approaches to the emulation of human thought, this invention 
readily permits the influence of cultural, religious and political views 
and beliefs that are unique to the personality being emulated . . . 
comprising a set of four temperament-specific parameters, each 
representing one of the four classical personality temperaments, 
Choleric, Melancholy, Sanguine and Phlegmatic."


Hasn't ALICE pretty much done that already?
