Hi,
I think this is a nice gimmick, but also just a gimmick.
I don’t think the AI in its current state will be a substitute for qualified answers to concrete problem solving and more complex questions, and steering help seekers in the right direction.
Still, this could be used as a kind of second interface in parallel to the current forum.
So to speak, as a kind of “extended reference book”.
So for questions like:
- What parameters do I need for using the rect function?
- Can you show me an example on how I can filling my rect with red and having a green border ?
- How to use the dist function and what does the result mean ?
- etc.
In any case, it would have to be clear that the answer comes from a bot, and how to ask other “real” people if necessary.
To be honest, I wouldn’t feel like checking every time if the AI has answered correctly and if necessary to clarify and correct the errors from AI (analogous to the example above from the dist() collision thread).
I also don’t know if it doesn’t discourage people who are looking for help to get forwarded to a bot with their problems.
Cheers
