The question of “what is an example of conversational AI” has been asked by many, and I’ve seen no clear consensus that is a good answer. I’m not saying that there is no answer, merely that I don’t know one yet.
Its a tricky question. If a conversation or conversation loop is not conversational, then the question does not have a clear answer. However, if a conversation or conversation loop is conversational, then Ive found that it is difficult to create good examples, and its hard to say whether it actually is conversational.
Im not saying that all conversation loops are conversational, just that there are a lot of loops with conversational AI that do not end up being conversational. For example, a conversation loop without dialogue is not conversational, but a conversation with dialogue is.
For example, let’s say that a conversation is about a topic. In order to find an example of conversation AI, I use the same process as that of creating an example of dialogue. So, I go through the list of conversations and look for loops that are conversational. I pick a conversation that is conversational, and then I look for an example that is conversational.
We’ve done this before. For example, if we’re talking about a topic, the conversation might be about the weather, or we might be having a really boring conversation about something else.
A lot of our conversations are about topics. A conversation about a topic would be one of those things that might include other topics. We might ask, “So, what does it feel like to be naked?” “Can we get a naked video from you, please?” “Have you seen the movie ‘The Notebook?’ ” “What are you eating right now?” “I love that song.” “I really like that song too.” “I think I made that song.
A lot of our conversations are about topics. A conversation about a topic would be one of those things that might include other topics.
The most common thing that happens, when we have conversations with people about topics, is that we end up talking about the same thing over and over again. In fact, this is the thing that happens the most often after we’ve had a conversation with someone about a topic. When we talk about something, we can’t stop talking about it. As soon as we start talking about something else, we can’t stop talking about it too.
So, we talk about “the latest episode of South Park” or “the next episode of Game of Thrones.” We talk about “the latest episode of Game of Thrones.” “The latest episode of Game of Thrones.” We talk about “The latest episode of Game of Thrones.” “The latest episode of Game of Thrones.” “The latest episode of Game of Thrones.
It’s like talking to yourself. We are on autopilot and our words bounce off one another without us even realizing. It’s as if our thoughts are scattered all over the place.
