The
Rules
Function
The Quote Generator converses via quotation in daily life.
Delivery
The Quote Generator reads aloud the quote in its ordinary speaking voice,
not in character. The quote is always followed by a spoken reference.
All quotes must be referenced.
Phases
Phase One: Quotes via
commercial products whose authors are people the Generator does not know.
e.g. quotes from films, books, advertisements, lyrics, etc. Duration:
One and a half years.
Upcoming Phase
Two: Quotes from people the Generator has interacted with directly,
e.g family, friends, lecturers, guy at Turkish shop down the street. Duration:
One year.
Phase
Three: Original Quotes from the Generator as first person in
the past, quotes must be at least one month old or older. It cannot quote
from the present. Duration: Half a year.
*
Times between phases are chosen once a phase comes to a conclusion. * Six months have been added to each phase for research, development and data entry. ksjf
Quote
Generator Book
Quotes are organised in a filofax looking book. The book is an aid for
speech.
Collection
& Organization
The quotes chosen must be congruent with the Quote Generator’s genuine
personal tastes, and feelings. The database is updated on an ongoing basis.
The Quote Generator does not choose phrases at random, it responds to
its context like any regular human being in conversation. The quotes are
organised into categories in conversation e.g. gossip, nostalgia, politics
etc. following are subcategories: statements, questions, responses and
whom the quote is directed at. The quotes are then colour coded into polite,
banal, pathetic, humorous, pessimistic, optimistic, offensive etc. There
are usually 2 points of reference: either author or title (whichever is
more prominent) and year.
Off
Zones
The Quote Generator will not have to speak in quotes at home, in work
situations, on the phone, in writing,
in blunt organisational situations (giving directions on the street)
or with people whom it has spent more than 100 hours in conversation with
in private (only exempt in private.) All other times it converses in quote.
