MegaHAL Chatbot

After months of development and testing, I give you the Chatbot extension. This extension brings you the full artificial intelligence of MegaHAL. It sits around and listens and learns, and will reply to input from chat when you want it to.

Purpose: To simulate a natural language conversation with a psychotic computer. This is achieved by learning from the user's input using a third-order Markov model on the word level. Words are considered to be sequences of characters separated by whitespace and punctuation. Replies are generated randomly based on a keyword, and they are scored using measures of surprise.
