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.
AI written by middle level management.
"Why don't we table this discussion and circle back later? :) 🤖"
Later, or even never.
"let's take this offline"
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.
Yeah, I mainly take offence when it's a familiar tone. LLMs can talk clinically to me.
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.
Or respond like Withers from BG3:
Also acceptable.
Regardless of whether that's true, it doesn't make sense as a reason. "Our customers have less reading comprehension, that's why we make our UX less clear."
I'd say it's because the people responsible for the UX are shitheads, but sure, I guess.
you know they had to lower the standards for sixth graders to make it seem like the average went up right
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.
