I find this "playful" UX design that seems to be en vogue incredibly annoying. If your model has ended the conversation, just say that. Don't say it might be time to move on, if there isn't another option.

I don't want my software to address me as if I were a child.

The new demos of GPTo talking are so fricking annoying because of that. I don't want a playful friendly UI. It's so uncanny.

I would prefer if my software did not attempt to "speak to me" at all. :P Display your information, robot! Don't try to act like a person.

But I've been grinding this axe since Windows Updates started taking that familiar tone.

I agree in principle, but the software speaking to you is kinda the whole point of an LLM.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago

Yeah, I mainly take offence when it's a familiar tone. LLMs can talk clinically to me.

Later, or even never.

I want ai to be like " look, I dont fuckin want to talk about it, fuck off!" When it doesn't want to answer something.

I mean, those models are overconfident all the time. They could at least go "This conversation is over", all Sovereign like.

Reminder that Asimov devised the 3 laws then devoted multiple novels to showing how easily they could be circumvented.

They are also a fun read so I recommend it

Given we are already seeing AI applications in Military... I suspect Asimov was a bit optimistic 😅

Who do you think commissioned facial recognition software which is the start of AI
