- godelski 3y agoYeah I think it is people being overfit. They understand that "hi" and "hello" are words that begin a conversation but don't understand their purpose. On the phone it can be to verify the other person can hear you or is there. In person it is like a wake word to grab attention before you start saying what you really want to say because if you jump straight in someone isn't going to shift their attention instantaneously. It just has no place in asynchronous communication other than patterns like the "Hi -- I'm working on..." example from that link. I criticize machines a lot for overfitting, but I'll especially criticize machines being taught by people who are overfit. Hard to create general machines without understanding why things are and the rabbit holes that exist everywhere around us.
