  • When the bots’ training material is wrong …

    Can someone explain to me how the creators of all the chatBots have concluded that the training material they CHOSE to use … is factually correct … so completely error-free that they do not need to have any system for correcting the ‘truths’ that they have taught the bots.

    I am not interested in personally receiving the particular correct facts … I already know them. I am interested in Jo Public receiving the true facts when he asks the bots. The powers-that-be must be loving this protection from criticism, from looking foolish (and immoral), from facing legal liability for teaching/testing/accrediting new members of their profession.

    All the chatBots give wrong facts even though the provably correct information has been public for more than a decade. Leaving a comment behind a ‘thumbs down’ icon does nothing.

    Are there other issues you know about where the training materials used were wrong?

  • Built a working mockup of an AI that attends meetings on your behalf — free to try, want to know if this is actually useful

    Here’s the pitch: you brief an AI agent before a meeting, it joins the call as a bot, participates in the chat, and sends you a full debrief after.

    I built this as a mockup to see if people actually want it before I go deeper. Some of it works, some of it is rough around the edges.

    What works right now:

    – Give it context (who you are, why the meeting matters), key points you want raised, and questions you need answered

    – It joins Google Meet, Zoom, or Teams as a named bot (“John (Imposter)”)

    – Posts a welcome message introducing itself and your agenda

    – Actively participates in chat : answers if someone asks it something directly, confirms when your questions get answered, raises your key points when the topic comes up

    – Sends a debrief at the end: summary, action items, and direct answers to your questions

    – You can send it immediately or schedule it for a specific time

    Quick way to test it:

    Create a Google Meet (or Zoom/Teams), paste the link in, fill in some context and questions, and hit send. If you don’t set a schedule it joins immediately — you’ll just need to admit it from the waiting room. Takes about 30 seconds to set up. Talk for a few minutes and see what it picks up.

    What I want to build next (if people use it):

    – The bot uses voice to speak in the call.

    – Google Calendar integration so it auto-joins without you doing anything

    – Upload documents/briefs so the agent has richer context

    – Claude workspace / Teams integration

    – Better proactive participation

    Try it: [https://imposter-silk.vercel.app](https://imposter-silk.vercel.app) , you get one free meeting, no credit card.

    Is this something worth pursuing or nah ?

  • Creating lifelike bots

    Hi all

    Sorry if this has been posted already (if so, please point me to the post).

    Is it possible to create a chat bot of a character in a movie or a TV show, if you had pictures, videos and their voice, as well as their samples of their conversations? Or a character in a book? How could one build that?

  • Irony….

    Elon Musk is suing OpenAI for billions, accusing them of betraying their original ‘non-profit’ mission (a somewhat noble endeavor). Meanwhile, he is screwing over Grok subscribers by limited its usage and excessive moderation. What is wrong with this picture?

  • I feel like chatbot apps are starting to blend together lately.

    A lot of them use the same styles, same personalities, even similar replies. Makes me appreciate the few apps that actually try something different instead of copying whatever’s trending.

  • Do you think people are becoming less social because of chatbots or just social in a different way?

    I’ve seen people treat AI chats like entertainment, therapy, brainstorming, and even companionship. Feels like we’re watching a completely new kind of online interaction happen in real time.

  • What do you look for in an effective AI texting agent?

    Hey all – I am building an agent that lives in your texts, serving as an AI assistant / maybe friend? My team and I have been challenged trying to find the most helpful use cases for our tool. We’ve experimented a lot with its personalities/context switching and we believe we’ve done a great job, but are still narrowing how it can be most helpful.

    If you’re someone who’s ever experimented with an AI agent via text or would consider to, I’d love to learn what might interest you. Thanks!
