>who is the current president?
I wonder what happened to IBM Watson's technology that was good at answering trivia -- it actually won a game of Jeopardy! a decade ago (although of course it answered things with a question as per the rules). I know that they weren't that successful at applying it to biomedical research as they had hoped, but it would seem it would be better at chatbots than GPT-3 and other deep-learning models.
- Spooky23 5y agoThe problems with chatbots have nothing to do with tech. You implement chatbots to bend the demand curve to higher cost channels. Period. If you can get 5% of the user base to wait 15 minutes by sending them to a chatbot tarpit, you will have eliminated the need for a dozen call center agents at peak times. Providing good service with a chatbot is possible, but the work and organization required is extensive, and it’s cheaper to throw semi-skilled humans at it!
