How would I save time with or statements in Python?
<p>I'm writing a AI program in Python and want to save time when interacting with the bot. Instead of using this code:</p>

<pre><code>if "how are you" or "How are you" in talk:
     perform_action()
</code></pre>

<p>I want to be able to interpret it even if it's not capitalize or not. If you don't what I'm saying let's say I asked the bot, "how are you?", but the bot was only programmed to answer to that question if it was said like this, "How are you?". I want to simplify the coding so I won't have to use a "or" statement. Please provide example code.</p>
