That's my point. Of course a system like this is able to answer precisely targeted questions, but that's not how people communicate. I was trying to to assume the role of a person who doesn't know anything about the product, and want to understand more.
Now, if you ask very targeted questions, then you can get useful answers. But that's not really impressive. Chatbots that are able to hand out canned answers has been available for decades. If you advertise your system as being able to handle "natural" conversations, I tend to expect more.
I rephrased by previous question and instead of simply asking "what kind of followers", I asked for specific social networks. That worked, until it didn't, and the answer to the last question shows that even when it answers in a coherent way, I can't really trust the answers.

- jkinudsjknds 6y agoYou're right in that it's not much of a natural conversation. But I still disagree with what you're proposing as good questions. The questions you asked would plausibly confuse a real person who is ESL or just not that smart. Communication goes both ways.
