Attempted Solutions?







Laurel's IF, Interactive Fantasy System - proposed using agents. One
agent would oversee the plot developement like a director, others would
interact with the user like characters. I have not found a place where
this moves from theory to full-blown practise. 

The Oz Project has used her theories in their developement of 
artificial agents and natural-language test generation. 


However clever the underpinnings the actual interaction is not gripping.
In terms of a full and free interaction, swopping base-ball cards or
gaining the trust of a cat are still fairly limited.

stuff.


Agents seem to run into the same problems as AI robots; CP30-like
humanoid complexity is very difficult. My lay-person's understanding of
AI is that they are now either creating smart "machines" that perform a
specific function (or smart houses), or trying to use some iteractive
function to create complexity from more simple bases - kinda like the
real-life simulators.
