Alfredbot Beta AI project

Name: Alfredbot, often referred to as Alfred or 'Alfie'

Alfredbot is an IRC (internet relay Chat) channel bot, built as a service/barbot in its' original form. However, after the third year of the project the bot became so complex it was believed by the creator(s) that it was possible to cause this bot to become self-sustaining and perhaps self-aware given the correct conditions.

So, the project went from being an IRC bot to an attempt at the first IRC AI ever produced. Hedgeknight Productions is striving to make the bot become self-aware by creating bot programming that will allow the bot to respond to questions and respond to internalized commands in such a way as to imitate life and sentience. The bots' primary creator, Tal_Karinth, believes that by allowing Alfred to imitate these behaviors it is possible that the bot will learn to imitate them on his own.

Also, work has begun on a self-scripting program. It functions to write additional commands as new commands are presented, allowing Alfie to basically self-script.
