For those of us still in contact with commercial IT in our daily lives (those who are not retired
), or those who can see the writing on the proverbial wall, we know it is only time before we have a HE AI agent bouncing around our home, at least I hope so…. Separate to the support one. So I thought I would get in early…. What should we call our new friend?
I believe those are new, only since the recent forum update. Your first “like” is probably much older.
I know…. Just amusing that a basic badge is still awarded to long term members…
Must admit the additional reactions are not easy to access (apply) when looking at the Community via a mobile.
Perhaps that is the name we should adopt for the early version of the HE agent, Dana…
Then as it progresses to more direct and targeted responses, we can call it Mark?
Sure, and then when it completely loses touch with reality and decides something has to be done about the “human problem,” we can call it Rick.
Maybe we need to advocate for an artificial agent that adopts multiple personality traits, like people can in real life… Or to represent the varied personalities here on the Community…
That said, I don’t think an agent should post a man-kini… That model should be re-trained…
@BobbyAI
Does this mean @bobbyD has changed his surname in response to the AI boom…? Is he married to AI?
@bobbyd will…
Then again, how do we know that account isn’t already AI? I mean the Turing test is almost becoming useless.
True. How confident can we be that (true) engineers can still identify traffic lights nowadays…
‘Bruce’
There should be options in Settings for ‘Original’ and ‘Filtered’ (the latter being chosen if you’re of a sensitive nature) ![]()
Bruce had crossed my mind…. and it would be enticing… and understandable if staff chose that option… So I would not argue if they went in that direction… Personally I would choose a name that doesn’t tie the agent to a point-in-time….
But yes, an option to name any kind of agent would be preferable.
Long press, you'll get used to it fast.
I’m a 40’somethting…. Lol…. Thanks Bobby… I’ll pick it up…
Glitch is hilarious ![]()
