Hello, welcome to playmarketing’s blog! Today we will tackle the topic of Chatbots, tools produced by Artificial Intelligence that allow you to chat with a machine as if you were conversing with a real human being. What effects will these tools have on our lives? And on the world of work?
WHAT ARE CHATBOTS?
Let’s start by defining what Chatbots actually are. We can say that they are tools produced by Artificial Intelligence capable of providing a realistic response upon receiving an input message from a person. It’s as if there were a real person on the other side of the screen. With these kinds of tools, it is possible to establish a dialogue with automated responses.
HOW DO CHATBOTS WORK?
All Chatbots operate using similar mechanisms: from the combination of information they possess from previous data and the input we provide, they can produce a plausible response. Their conversations are thus influenced by these two aspects: the messages we send and the information they already have “within themselves.”
WHAT IS A PROMPT AND WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
Our input to the A.I., specifically termed a prompt, is of fundamental importance. We must immediately consider whom we are addressing. Are we seeking a formal or informal response, creative or informative? Based on this, we need to calibrate our input.
THE OBJECTIVE: CLARITY AND DEFINITION TO RECEIVE A USEFUL RESPONSE
The next step is to focus well on the objective, the information we need to know from the Chatbot’s response. This needs to be as concrete as possible. We cannot ask the Chatbot to make us omniscient. However, we can demand precise information or predictions about a specific event. It is advisable to specify as clearly as possible in our input “what” we want to know and, if possible, from which sources we expect the requested information.
HOW WILL THESE TOOLS AFFECT THE WORLD OF WORK?
Given the usefulness of Chatbots – IF USED CORRECTLY – it is inevitable that many software companies are enhancing their production. It is easy to foresee that in the not-too-distant future, many businesses will use these technologies to simplify the work of their employees in the IT field. It is therefore wise to take note of what has been written above since more and more company employees will be called to “collaborate” with Artificial Intelligence.
