manuchat
A chat robot to configure the manual to the user. | |
A manual for an appliance or new piece of equipment is supposed to be designed for as many human logic lines as possible. If the logic line is there then the user will be able to follow the instructs and work the equipment.
The human mind is wide and varied in it's capacity to show what is a logical
and normal thought process. I suggest that if a user converses with a chat bot then the A.I. can best model the thought process and tailor make the manual to suit. There would probably be some preprogrammed psychological types, with key identifiers, to speed up modeling.
Manuchat could have a database of similes and equivalents on terms to convey the instructions in the users own grammar.
Ultimately A then B then C if D gives X is simple programming wise but blows out to a very large tree when where, what and how definitions are placed on A, B, C and D. I think a chat bot would be a nice tool to generate this tree for the user. Diagram styles could also be selected as part of the modeling process.
The bot could be web based so manufacturers could have more info on their designs and usability.

Indeed... That is what they taught us in Chat Robot Training school. So how are the wife and kids ? |
|
| |
For some reason, I'm picturing someone snorting these. |
|
| |
This idea made me think of eddie trying to teach someone to make a cup of tea. |
|
| |
What if the user is female ? |
|
| |
wjt it would help me to visualize if you would post an example of an exchange with the chatbot. Manuchat can use American Rural Upper Midwest grammar to bring it home for me. |

[8th], I'm sure I've warned you before about these
misogenystic comments. If you're trying to suggest in
some way that the little ladies are incapable of
dealing with a highly technical user manual, I would
ask you to remember that many - if not some -
women are more than sufficiently intelligent to get a
man to help them. |

By the time you turn this into specifications for a program
you'll realize you need strong AI to make it work. Magic [-] |

Chat bots are quite advanced. Manuchat probably would be built bottom up rather than top down. If your take the manual steps and used a computer to build as many simile statements of those steps then one would, hopefully, be the sentence necessary for the user's prescription. |
|
| |
The way the user greeted an habitual 'hello' would set the start of the conversation and differentiate stereotypes, for example the Rural Upper Midwest. The more conversation, the more simple clues the computer can glean and the closer the procedure can be correctly stated. |
|
| |
All that a chat bot is is pattern matching, this is just that. |
|
| |
So if I were to say "Howdy" (perhaps with jocular intent) it
will automatically assume I'm a rube? |
|
| |
You wouldn't need to say anything, just looking at
you is enough ... |
|

"And how does 'THIS STUPID THING IS BROKE' make you feel?" |
|
| |
"manuchat" sounds like some sort of gay telephone
dating service. |
|
| |
That's what I thought this was, Max. |

"At Generic Appliance we are very, very sad our product wasn't fit for your purpose but before we send you another, have you plugged it in ?" |
