Working Up

by Dwayne Phillips

Chatbots can answer questions about written pieces. They can be good tools for feedback.

I was recently testing several different chatbots to understand which performed better. I fed a 200-page document I wrote into each chatbot and asked them questions. There were several questions which all the chatbots failed to answer. The questions were obvious. The answers were in the long document. Why couldn’t any of the chatbots answer the questions?

I manually searched through and reviewed the long document. Oops. The chatbots couldn’t answer the obvious questions because I had failed to put the obvious information in the long document.

How could I have left out the obvious? Simple, stupid mistake. Back to the drawing board or the text editor or something. Fix the obvious mistake.

Chatbots can answer questions about written pieces. They are pretty good tools at reviewing long written pieces and providing feedback. A chatbot a good tool for writers. Tell me what I should have put in the piece but forgot. Let’s get to work and do better.
