This should be the premise of an actual episode

Slippery slope? My very first statement was about communication skills and we have been talking about that ever since.

Yeah but op claims it doesnt

Sure thing, as I say your initial point stands.

For the sake of discussion only I ask "what is the point of achieving insight if it is too difficult to communicate it to others?"

If it understands you without you even trying then regardless of whether you try to communicate well or not you will never know if you have done a good or poor job of communicating. This is my point.

Your unpopular opinion that you enjoy it more is not in question, and you are free to abandon your fellow mortals if that's what you want to do. However, in my opinion, this can only lead to a further deterioration in skills that you already admit are not as developed as you would like.

I would also gently remind you that you are one of us, and subject to the same imperfections. Keeping this in mind can help smooth your interactions with others.

"Someone disagreeing with you, or attempting to show you something you might not know or have seen"

So this is another example of how you are doing the same things you avoid communicating with humans over. You have selected one part of my statement to misunderstand and selectively ignored the point.

We absolutely are talking about what you wanted to talk about. Your first statement to me was asking what I based my assessment that you were training yourself to be a poor communicator on. Since then we have stuck to that topic, but you haven't really addressed the central point that a machine that adapts to things that hinder communication with humans will inevitably train you not to correct or address those hindrances.

This isn't me disagreeing with you, it is me pointing out something you might not have considered. However you have framed this whole discussion as a case of you being misunderstood. That really isn't the case.

Regardless of why the bot is able to adapt to vagueness (or other communication problems), the fact that it can discourages you from overcoming those problems.

Someone diagreeing withyou, or attempting to show you some other thing you might not have thought of or seen for yourself, is not always a misunderstanding. You need to entertain the possibility that sometimes you are wrong, unaware of something, or simply misunderstanding the other person yourself.

You say yourself that you use the vaguest descriptions when talking to the bot and that it fills in the blanks for you. This is not a good way to practice speaking with human beings.

The fact that you assumed I was talking about grammar is indicative of the problem. You clearly dislike others assuming you are talking about something you are not talking about, yet you do it yourself. That's because misunderstandings are normal and learning to deal with them is an essential part of good communication.

It carries the emotions and personal biases of the source material It was trained on.

It sounds like you are training yourself to be a poor communicator, abandoning any effort to become more understandable to actual humans.

Could God create a story so gay that even he could not fake it?

Everytime this is reposted in a new template I remind everyone that no one is using incognito mode to hide from their ISP they are using it to hide from their spouse or partner.

Incognito mode is not for Google, its for my girlfriend. Do people really not understand this?
