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.

"let's take this offline"

Later, or even never.

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.

[–] Heavybell@lemmy.world 4 points 6 months ago

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.

[–] VeganCheesecake@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

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:

NO...

Also acceptable.

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.
