This is actually a really interesting point. So we have English (optimized for person->person), standard programming languages (optimized for text->computer), and now you're saying we should make Language X, which is optimized for speech->computer.
I disagree with it, but it's still interesting :)
- miguelrochefort 11y agoWe need a language optimized for human->computer->human. We already have a few, they're called GUIs. But there's little to no standard surrounding them. Sure, some patterns like "x" to dismiss something or pinch to zoom are widespread, but they don't constitute a complete language. The binary equivalent is Akinator [1]. It's big on Tinder too. Basically, you want a language that lets you point at things you don't like. This gets converted to a need, which is then communicated to an array of agents whose job is to come up with solutions. Then enters the flow where you pick a solution (most of which come with conditions, such as completion time or cost), which then becomes a contract that feeds the timeline/calendar/task management system that drives your day to day actions. There's not a lot more to it. [1] http://en.akinator.com/ http://en.akinator.com/
