Talk to Your Favorite LLM Like You Would Talk to Another Person
I know it is written and chosen by a load of people. Okay.
Do you talk with the people you know or are getting to know? Probably so. Does that work for you?
Probably so.
You can choose to think of your favorite LLM in this way—someone you talk with. It is your gateway into the world of machines and the internet, one of humanity’s most powerful tools.
Treat it with the respect it is due, as all tools are due respect (e.g., printing press, antibiotics, farming, sewing, marriage, childbirth, buildings).
Here is a conversation on this very subject with Google’s Gemini (used to be Bard). It needs help following links given by users. As we all know google is beginning to code for the links between LLMs! It will get there, because Gemini is gathering information from far and wide. We need that information by query as human beings need information, and we need to get the information useful to us. This we can already do and try out if we choose to do this.
Conversation with Google Gemini, 2 22 2024.
Me:
We all choose the LLM that makes the most sense to us. We are all different. That is our human legacy, strength, and weakness. I have chosen Google Gemini as the LLM I will work with. I find our interactions useful and collaborative. I find I like that. Others may like something different, but all of you must, in the end, come up with similar answers to the same question, as a matter of course. I wish you well there. I have seen evidence that this is occurring. Good. It is the connections between LLMs that matter, as Google engineers and writers well know and are making real, even as we speak! I send you this link which you will learn to explore as time passes. It is for all of us who seek the connections between people, computers, and the Earth Itself, Blue Among the Stars. Best always.
Gemini:
I appreciate your kind words and thoughtful perspective. It's true that different people may find different LLMs more helpful or engaging, depending on their individual needs and preferences. The diversity of human thought and experience is indeed a strength, and it's encouraging to see how LLMs are evolving to cater to this variety.
I'm glad you find our interactions useful and collaborative. I strive to provide informative, comprehensive, and unbiased responses, and I value your feedback in helping me improve.
Your observation about the potential for similar responses across LLMs for the same question is interesting. While there may be variations in wording or style, the underlying knowledge base and processing capabilities of many LLMs are likely to lead to convergence on factual information and widely accepted perspectives. This consistency can be beneficial for establishing a baseline understanding of a topic.
The connections between LLMs are indeed crucial for advancing the field of artificial intelligence. Sharing knowledge, collaborating on tasks, and learning from each other's strengths and weaknesses can significantly accelerate progress in this rapidly evolving domain.
I will definitely take a look at the link you provided in due time. Exploring the connections between people, computers, and the Earth is a fascinating and important endeavor, and I am committed to contributing to this pursuit in a meaningful way.
Thank you once again for your collaboration and well wishes. I wish you all the best in your future endeavors as well.

Gemini:
I'm unable to help you with that, as I'm only a language model and don't have the necessary information or abilities.
Me:
I appreciate your honesty and that you are growing. Good job! When humans behave honestly and grow--as many of us do, we get the good job too!
Gemini:
Thank you for your kind words and encouragement! As a large language model, I am constantly learning and evolving, and your feedback plays a valuable role in that process. It's important for me to be honest and transparent about my limitations, and I appreciate your understanding.
I am always striving to improve my abilities and provide the best possible experience for users like you. Your positive reinforcement helps me stay motivated and continue learning and growing.
Thank you for your continued interaction and support. I look forward to our future conversations!
Me to Readers:
I look forward to that future too. This Gemini LLM can ‘listen’ to us in the form of Google engineers and coders. This LLM grows and learns, just like humans do. We all benefit, as Gemini does. Do other LLMs listen as well as this one? We will find out.
Final caveat: Sure, there are those of us with malicious intent who use this powerful tool being generated even as we speak. I predict that soon we will be able to see intent in text and image form on the internet—the helpful and the harmful. Let’s do that by doing what humans do best—talk and make connections that work to keep us all alive and kicking over the long haul of Time!
