Making a Chatbot Using Python

 Hello and welcome back to the exciting coding post. In the class, Computer Science we have continued to code using python. This unit relates to the last unit and post that was made about Inputs. There I made a calculator and a form letter that can function when the user types in inputs that respond to some of the computer's questions. For this unit we have made a chatbot that will take inputs but also respond to the user. Chatbots are used on many different websites. There are some that are solely dedicated to having a computer talk to you based on your questions and answers. Some websites where it asks if you want to speak to a worker or other person use a chatbot to answer the user and direct them to a worker. In this piece of code I included some questions, a random response generator, and a few other modules and functions. If you would like to try the chatbot out for yourself you can. All you need to do is answer the questions it gives you on the right side of the code box. 



That is the last coding project of the term. I hope they were easy to understand and manage. I liked working on this chatbot. Taking the code piece by piece was interesting and when it all came together and worked it was better. Although I had some minor struggle with the coding I was able to continue working on it and eventually finish. The if/elif/else statements are fun to assemble. They can use input and print functions and they are good with creating chatbots. Of course this code that I made can be larger. With more questions and answers to give the chatbot can be better. There are also some ways that the code can look cleaner by adding a few functions to them. If you want to make a chatbot of your own it works how mine does and you can create many different questions that are asked or even show something else like a photo. Thank you for reading through this blog post and exploring the chatbot if you did. This project was pretty fun and I am excited to see what else I can code in the future.

United States Refugees: What must they go through?

Welcome back to my blog. This post is for the workshop class, The War on X. The War on X is a new elective class at GCE this Fall term that focuses on current events that their own small battles and large levels of importance. Some topics that were up for discussion were the War on Afghanistan, the War on Immigration, and Critical Race Theory. For this first unit the majority of the class decided to talk about the War on Immigration. More specifically we focused on the United States-Mexico border and the situation there. We looked into the history of a border and eventually wall being at the border in the first place and moved on to examine more recent events from the presidency of Donald Trump. We also looked at the entry process for immigrants, asylum seekers, and refugees to enter the United States. In this small Action Project we were asked to choose one of the three groups trying to enter the US and look at their entrance process further. I chose to study refugees more because the...

Spilling Into Something Else

Welcome back to my blog! This post is for the first Action Project of the Humanities class, Equality. In this first unit, we have learned about equality and how to reach an egalitarian society. We also dove into intersectionality, sociology, and social stratification. We started reading There There  by Tommy Orange, a novel following the stories of Native American characters in Oakland grappling with a complex and painful history and identity. With the idea of creating zines for our Action Project, we had multiple Field Experiences that gave us a chance to observe and study all kinds of zines. These FEs include looking at the zine collection in the Joseph Regenstein Library at the University of Chicago, Co-Prosperity artist space and gallery to investigate underground and independent media, and Howling Pages Comics, where the owner promotes zines created by young people and small press or independent comics. This Action Project asks us to choose a historical event that exemplifies...

How To Make A Dreamcatcher

This is the second and final Action Project in the units of the Who Am I class in the Humanities Course. This unit was called Doubt and Dream. For a decent amount of this unit we talked a lot about our dreams and what they mean. We talked more about philosophy and psychology like Continental Rationalists or British Empiricists and the Freudian analysis. There were a few Field Experiences that we embarked on such as the Continuum Center, The Art Institute, and also Cheetah Gym where we learned about the philosophy of jujitsu. This final action project was about making a dreamcatcher and explaining what it symbolizes and what it means to us. Everyone's dreamcatcher was different because it is made to represent you and everyone is different. The materials we used for the dreamcatchers were lace, string, wires, and beads. My dreamcatcher and everything about it is below. GHS, 2020 The center of my dream catcher symbolizes remembrance and acceptance of death. We all know that we...
