For a year or two we were neglecting the Russian aspect of the bilingual ghost.pl AI in Perl. On Wednesday 2019-04-17 we branched off into coding the JavaScript Mens Latina AI in Latin. In ancient, dead Latin (kind of like Perl, huh?) we solved some AI problems that occur also in modern Russian, such as how to generate a missing verb-form and how to understand a Latin or Russian sentence on the basis of inflectional endings rather than the word-order upon which we rely so much in English. Suddenly we switched away from coding AI in Latin to updating our JavaScript Dushka AI in Russian, which now serves as a tutorial introduction to the bilingual ghost.pl AI that thinks in either English or Russian. We rush now to update the Russian aspect of the ghost in the machine before the Perl language dies out and we have to switch to Python -- like the rest of the world that is abandoning Perl -- in which nobody in their right mind codes any more. We don't claim to be in our right mind, so we cling absurdly to Perl, while everybody who is sane has dropped Perl like the Ebola virus.
Today in the ghost299.pl AI we want to solve one single Russian bug to make it worthwhile to upload the free AI source code in a programming language that nobody wants any more. That bug is a grammatical error that occurs when we start the Ghost AI out thinking in Russian. Since initially no particular thought is active and the Perl AI is as brain-dead as your average superannuated Perl programmer, an ego-default feature causes the Perl AI to activate the self-concept of ego and to remember things that the AI knows about itself, whether in Russian or in English. Since Russian grammar is more complex than English grammar, a Russian software glitch stands out like a sore thumb. The AI tries to say "I understand you" in Russian, but erroneously says "Я ПОНИМАТБ ТЕБЯ" with the wrong verb-form. Although to qualify as a Perl programmer you need only to be a warm body and neither sane nor intelligent, we want our Perl AI to be as intelligent as a Python programmer and as sane as Mr. Spock on Star Trek. Therefore let us debug.
It turns out that RuVerbPhrase() was not using the correct time-point to recall a verb-form.

I have a bad piece of news for you: You're not real. You're just the

best attempt of your AI to come off as human. By mindlessly rearranging
hackneyed phrases stolen elsewhere into something an audience is
supposed to lend a coherence of their own making by virtue of possessing
an actually functioning brain.
But fooling humans into animating your would be Frankenstein monster in
their own minds isn't going to be good enough.

With his childlike sense of trust and wonder, Mentifex was hoping to make Perl the epicenter of true, concept-based AI with Natural Language Understanding (NLU) and to create glamorous new AI jobs for expert Perl programmers. Mentifex, before he was deleted, banned and practically burned at the stake, was imagining Fortune 500 companies hiring fifty Perl programmers to each work on one of the fifty AI mind-modules in Perl. Mentifex envisioned every nation on Earth adopting Perl with Unicode for artificial intelligence in their own national language. Mentifex anticipated governments rushing into Perl artificial intelligence to keep up with other nations in the AI arms-race towards a Technological Singularity. But if the so-called Perl community does not want Mentifex, Mentifex must shake the dust from his shoes and wander the Web in search of a friendly community more accepting of new ideas."
