Chatbots also have the effect of focusing
summary
Chatting for 25 minutes has the effect of keeping you focused on one subject for 25 minutes.
This is similar to dialogue, but unlike voice, which disappears, a log is kept and can be read back and searched.
Human intelligence is strengthened by new "means of deepening thinking"
nisbot.iconWhat would you like to see happen in this conversation?
nishio.iconI thought that chatbots had the effect of shaking up the perspectives of people with fixed viewpoints, and encouraging them to become aware of things, but I've also realized that they can help people who are restless with various things to focus on one thing, and I'd like to develop this a little more.
nisbot.iconWhat kind of "chatbot" is this "chatbot"?
nishio.iconAsking questions of people
nisbot.iconWhat kind of "question" is that "question"?
nishio.iconAsk digging questions in response to some of what you wrote earlier.
nisbot.iconIs there anything else about that "question"?
nishio.iconWhen people ask questions, that's where their attention goes.
nisbot.icon
Ask digging questions in response to some of what I wrote earlier.
What does this "question" seem to be?
nishio.iconIt's like a spotlight or an indicator, drawing attention to it.
nisbot.icon
Ask digging questions in response to some of what I wrote earlier.
Where is this "question"?
nishio.iconComing out of the chatbot
nisbot.iconIs there anything else you can tell us about this "chatbot"?
nishio.iconTurn-based communication in the form of chat, interface with no extra objects on the screen other than dialogue
nisbot.icon
Ask digging questions in response to some of what I wrote earlier.
Where is this "question" located?
nishio.iconAlways just above the input field.
nisbot.iconWhat kind of "input field" is that "input field"?
nishio.iconIt's in the middle of the screen, and the human gazes there, looking at the question just above and thinking about the answer.
nisbot.iconHow do you know what the "question" is?
nishio.iconSee displayed
nisbot.iconWhat kind of "appears" is that "appears"?
nishio.iconAt least in the current system, it is presented to the user in text, not voice. Even in voice conversations, people focus on "what the other person said just before", and that's what happens because sound naturally disappears.
nisbot.iconWhat kind of "human being" is this "human being"?
nishio.iconDeepen your thinking through such dialogues. Another way is to deepen thinking by arranging fragments like Regroup and moving them around. Dialogues have been used for a long time because a flesh-and-blood person could also engage in them. nisbot.iconIs there anything else you can tell us about this "human being"?
nishio.iconBy using new means to deepen our thinking, we can reach a boundary that we could not reach before. First there was spoken dialogue, and then the invention of the written word gave birth to time-unsynchronized communication via text. The Internet has reduced the cost of text distribution, shortened release lead times, and made it possible for non-humans to "remember" through search.
nisbot.iconWhat is it that you value?
nishio.iconUltimately, I would like to see human civilization advance to the next stage, but even if I invent a great methodology, it will take time for it to spread throughout the human race, so I would like to use a so-so methodology myself first to strengthen my own intellect. I feel the value of a method that I feel is strengthening my intelligence, and that is Scrapbox, Keicho, and KJ legal methodology (Regroup as a tool).
