I’m trying to come up with a question that can effectively distinguish between a response generated by a simple rule-based chatbot and a response generated by a more sophisticated chatbot that uses machine learning and natural language processing. I need a question that isn’t easily answered with a canned response or simple keyword recognition, but also isn’t so abstract that it’s impossible for either type of chatbot to understand. The goal is to see if the chatbot can demonstrate actual comprehension and reasoning, even on a small scale. Think about things like understanding implied meaning, drawing inferences, or exhibiting a rudimentary sense of context. Also, it should be conversational and relatively natural, not sounding like a formal test.
Here’s my initial question: “If I told you I just saw a dog wearing sunglasses riding a skateboard, what would your reaction be?”
Expanded Question: If I told you I just saw a dog wearing sunglasses riding a skateboard down Main Street, what would your reaction be? Would you find that surprising, funny, or something else entirely? Why would you react that way, and what might that suggest about the dog or the situation? Do you think that’s a common occurrence, and if not, what factors might have led to such a sight?
Answer
General/Personal: This distinction is often used to categorize information, questions, or experiences based on their scope and relevance.
-
General: Refers to information, concepts, or situations that are broad in scope and applicable to a wide range of people, objects, or contexts. General knowledge, for example, includes widely accepted facts, common skills, and societal norms. General questions might explore broad trends, patterns, or common attributes. General principles are abstract rules that can be applied across multiple domains.
- Personal: Relates to information, experiences, or attributes that are unique to an individual or a small, specific group. Personal information can include name, address, date of birth, medical history, or financial records. Personal experiences encompass individual memories, feelings, and perspectives. Personal questions delve into someone’s specific opinions, beliefs, or history.
Pray This Prayer
Okay, here’s a prayer blending general and personal elements:
Prayer:
O Divine Source, Weaver of all things, I come before you today with a humble heart. I acknowledge your presence in the vastness of the universe, in the intricate beauty of nature, and in the quiet moments of my own life. Thank you for the gift of existence, for the air I breathe, the sun that warms me, and the countless blessings I often take for granted.
Generally, I lift up to you the suffering of the world. I pray for peace in places of conflict, for healing for those who are sick in body, mind, or spirit, and for comfort for those who are grieving. I ask for your guidance for world leaders, that they may act with wisdom, compassion, and a genuine desire for the well-being of all people. May your love and justice prevail on Earth.
Personally, I bring to you my own struggles and concerns. You know the burdens I carry in my heart: (pause to silently reflect on personal concerns – e.g., anxieties about work, worries about a loved one, feelings of inadequacy). I ask for your strength to face these challenges with courage and resilience. Help me to trust in your plan for my life, even when I cannot see the path ahead. Grant me clarity of mind, peace of heart, and the ability to discern your voice amidst the noise of the world. Help me to be a source of kindness and support to those around me, and to live each day with intention and gratitude.
Thank you for listening, for your unwavering presence, and for the love that sustains me. I offer this prayer with hope and faith.
Amen.
